Displays actual moon orientation
07/25/2020

The emusifyer
The biggest feature I like about this app is that it displays the actual moon orientation. Looking at the app’s image of the moon and then at the moon itself, the phase AND the orientation are correct. Most apps don’t do this which is something the developer really needs to emphasize in his/her app description. The use of the compass to find the moon is nicely done as well. A couple things that would be very nice are cleaning up the main page (the info panels are overly bright and huge with small writing taking up 2/3 of the screen while the moon only gets 1/3 of the page). I like the contrast to keep it readable but there’s a lot of screen wasted with a bright blank area. Keep the font large but reduce the bright panel’s size. Also, the option to see the moon distance in miles rather than km would be nice for those of us on the other side of the pond. Overall, well done which is why I gave it 5 stars. Again, the accurate moon phase and orientation is the killer feature and you should promote that more.

Developer Response
Thank you for your kind and detailed review of the app, I do appreciate the feedback. I will look into dimming the bright panels, especially if the device is using dark mode. They used to be a lot smaller but as devices got bigger, they got bigger too! I did enjoy putting in the correct orientation of the moon, and I will look into promoting it more. It particularly makes a big difference to people outside the USA as other apps tend to fix it to USA conditions. Unfortunately people do tend to choose the first app they come to rather than the one with great features! I do have the option to switch between miles and kilometres, although it is well hidden - if you tap on the Moon Distance on the Moon Locator compass screen it will swap between miles and kilometres! I hope this helps you out. Again, thank you for your kind review.

Moon phase plus time for an update

I first purchased moon phase plus quite a few years ago when this young developer was young. His commitment to this app is amazing. Most would walk away after so many years. This developer has not , the app works very similar to any other app that you would want for the moon, however there’s a difference. The location function is spot on. The set up of the app as you can tell through the various images shows a very clean line and easy to read screens. What I like most about the app is that it holds true to the data provided by the leading observatories in Hawaii‘I and Australia. To the developer, thank you, I hope that you continue to support this app and that others will support you through the purchase of the app. Thank you for keeping the cost reasonable. I wish you much success. Cheers.

Say what? Great App!

If you are a weather geek and sky watcher like myself this app is just plain awesome! It’s got everything you need and it’s a one time payment that is very fairly priced so that’s just icing on the cake!Say what? I see comments, one in particular, that just make me roll my eyes. For instance: “I’ve been using this for a couple years and it’s great! However now that I have to pay for the premium I’m going to delete the app.” Say what? Just grab some change from the jar and there ya go, it’s paid for and worth every dime, nickel and penny you had to part with. I’m sure the developer will be just fine without ya though! Great app with great features and with a one time LOW payment it’s yours forever! Nice work on this app I definitely recommend it 👍🏻

‘Future’ Feature

I Love this App, but when I got it, I could look at the coming months, and now I can’t since upgrading it. Other free apps like this let you look at any date you want. I don’t understand why it now costs money to even look a day ahead if you’re on the last day of the month? I noticed since we just went from May to June, that I couldn’t look at June 1st on May 31st. I don’t get why? I honestly would have chosen another app if I knew it would eventually cost money just to use this one-Things that can easily be Googled about the Moon for free, cost money to look at on here now. Other than that, I use this every single day. Just wish you had another outlet to charge money on here instead of costing me to see one day in the future if it happens to be the last day of the month... Like I said, other than that, I love this app so much! Thank you for reading!-Britney
