Moon Calendar App Reviews

This is a favorite app in my astronomy kit. Use it to plan observations.

Does everything it says it will do.

This is a wonderful, useful app, but it does have some irritants and there are some places where improvements could be made. Well worth a buck! -------------------------------------- July 16, 2015 Please add another option--you occasionally prompt us at launch to "Rate Now" or "Later"-- but many of us have already rated it! December 11, 2016 Still not fixed! Its irritating to get a prompt to rate. We launch the app to see the calendar and the moons phases, not get a prompt! Its even more irritating when its a binary choice and the reality is that a 3rd choice and 4th choice are needed -- "Already Rated" and "Stop Bothering Me Already"! :-) It also doesnt make sense that the rating prompt seems to appear *after* we havent used the app for a while. That doesnt make sense in any universe! ----------------------------------- REST OF THE REVIEW Suggestion: There needs to be an easy way to get back to the current time-- a "Now" button would be a great addition! Also, one expects that tapping on Sunrise or Sunset icons would change the view (2nd screen), but it does NOT. Those would garner it the 5th star! -------------------------------------------- Prior review Ill post more thoughts later, but wanted to correct another reviewer who said that the Moon images in the calendar view were small! Well, on the iPad Mini, they certainly arent! Either the app has changed or the person was mistakenly reviewing the Lunar Calendar app that does look as if its Moon images are under-sized (see screenshots here for that app). Theres also a star chart app, Astromist, that has a Moon calendar built in, but its images are tiny! The screenshots here are reliable and if you double tap the images in iTunes, it will expand to fill the screen showing you just what it looks like! For a dollar this is well worth it! My one reservation is the self-serving promo that opens the apps blurb here: "The best moon calendar app in the app store". It may well be, but its bad form to make such an obviously subjective, self-congratulatory statement. I almost didnt buy it because of that! More later! ---------------- Well, as another reviewer noted, the compass display seems off by 180 degrees. There should be an option for us to rotate it, so that East is to the left, South at the top, and West to the right. After all, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon moves through the southern part of the sky and wed be facing South to observe it! 1 star demerit! :-). Otherwise, the time, height in sky display is quite spiffy. I suppose we can greedy and wish for a fixed display and change the day, watching the Moon go through the sky, changing phases. Maybe version #2?! Aha! Just discovered it can do that by bringing up the calendar day picker... Sweet!

Perfect for planning for star gazing with telescope

This app is very easy to use. It is laid out very nicely for quick access.

I wish this app had a setting so that you could set your default screen to the actual calendar look. I like how basic and straight forward it is otherwise.

Has just the right amount of info & it is clearly displayed.

I love it! Its great for telling when theres going to be a Full Moon. And great graphics! Its just a great app overall! Trying to find which phase of the moon were in now is made easy with this app!!

Good app. I like being able to see all the phases of the moon at one glance. Other app I tried was all dates and numbers. This one is more visual which is better for me .

This is one of my favorite apps, I go to it all the time. Its a must have if youre into the moon.

I would recommend this app to anyone.

Great app to get all I need to know about the Moon! Great for anyone who travels and like Moon Gazing!

As an amateur Astronomer I appreciate this app. I can quickly determine the status of the moon from my location at any given time for observation.

I use this app constantly, especially when I get mood swings I always look on here to see where the moon is and what state its in and makes sense! Awesome app! Definitely recommend!

Love this app. Keeps me updated on what I need. Would like to see the name of the stages of the moon. Overall I love it.

Gives me just what I need quickly and with such a lovely format.

Quickly tells me phases of the Moon, sunrise, sunset and other useful information. Useful for pilots like me and boating. Nice job by developers. Thanks for a great App.

Love this app and that you can change location by entering longitude and latitude coordinates or have it auto find you through location settings.

Really enjoy the app

I love the interface, basic but detailed. I am a casual user, so for my needs its perfect and very easy to read on my iPad.
