Has anyone used the AstoConnections App ?
Looking at it for 9th Gen. iPad. It has a Fagan-Sidereal option
Calculations from Solar Fire. Has most basic Sidereal techniques.
Graphics are real nice too. Convenient size for on the go charting.

Re: AppleApp: AstroConnections
I’m not Jim, but I do use mostly (not exclusively) Apple stuff these days…
In terms of raw number of features, yeah, I can tell a lot of work went into this app.
In terms of sidereal-oriented iOS-friendly apps, I don’t think this is any more useful than the free stuff out there. (I use iPhemeris regularly for its transit calendar feature, just bc it’s convenient. I don’t trust its returns, though; last I checked, they appear to be off by up to 10 mins in either direction, which is pretty brutal.)
