Now you can have accurate, attractive Moon and Sun details at your fingertips. View a beautiful real-time image of the current Moon phase, complete with technical data. Quickly see if the Moon is above the horizon and find Moon rise and set times and precise Moon position in the sky by looking at the Lunar Position screen. If you also want to know Sun rise and set times, look at the Solar Position screen.
Luna Solaria is immediately ready to use after installation and is designed for efficient use. Easily swipe to reach each screen, or click on convenient icons. The app automatically configures your location by using your phone's geographic location.
The app uses precise mathematical algorithms accurate to a second or better (milliseconds).

I can no longer see the moon phases on the moon tab of this ap. All the other tabs work correctly. Update? I see there is something about a preview of a new way to see the moon but nothing works on that tab.
Missing some planets.

Not a bad app, but kind of annoying that after you pay to unlock the part of the app that shows the positions of the planets, it only shows six planets, plus the sun and moon. Where are the other three (or two, if you believe the hype about Pluto not being a "real" planet)? It's not like it would be that hard to add the extra information. Sloppy programming. 👎 UPDATE: Apparently when Apple screws up and loses your backup and ALL YOUR DATA GETS WIPED, this app also forgets the additional content you paid for and requires that you pay for it again when you reinstall. What a garbage app.
Lovely and informative.

This is a handy app to have whether your interest is astronomical, astrological, or both. The moon image is realistic yet aesthetically pleasing as well. I also appreciate how they managed to provide a great deal of useful information without making the interface look busy. Thanks again to the developer(s).
Luna solaria fixed... yea!

Thank you, I was really worried you abandoned this app. Try as I may and as often as I tried app would not open on phone or iPad. Very disappointing.This app, now that it works like it worked before, is simple to the point and attractive. Nothing unnecessary. All good!Thank you, Hannah
Behind the scenes maintenance. And fixes for a couple of visual glitches.
