I've had the app for some time now and have come to rely on the "rise" and "set" times feature in order to prepare my photography equipment. Unfortunately, that feature has stopped working! Both the rise and set windows have large, red, exclamation Mark's on them. Tried unstalling/reinstalling...still the same!? I cannot find any way to reset this feature. With the rise and set times working, this is a 5 star app! Thanks to the developers for correcting the above mentioned problem!! 5 STARS!!!
Crashes with Galaxy 10+ I used to love this, but even with my S7, it would never integrate into the calendar or give the alerts I wanted. I was excited to see if it worked better with the new phone, but now it doesn't work at all. It opens for a split second and disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but didnt help. Bummer.
It's a great app but when are you going to fix the libration error? Its been several updates and the error is still there. The moon nods a bit left and right and up and down during the month allowing us to see a bit beyond to the far side along the limb at different points . This nodding is called libration. This app still tips the wrong side toward us. It's just a matter of inverting the algebraic sign in the libration code. Then I will give it 5 stars!
The features are very good. I would love to see the addition of co-longitude and also add the moon age day with hours. How about adding lunar liberation with a graphical component. I know some of that is quite a bit. I still have more to learn about the app. Looking for further updates. Do you have an easy way to capture a moment and share it as an image would be helpful with observing with students I teach.
Excellent app, I've had this phase of the moon 🌒🌚 app since it came out, on all my phone's, and even my laptop. always spot on with the different phases and never once have i had any troubles with any bugs. I just love the way the app works and it's always on display my devices and is great to watch if your falling asleep, (sorry if I sounded boring on that last bit) anyway Well-done to the creators for such a lovely app 💯♥️ it thanks
Fun and educational. This app is easy to use after you play with it for a while. It's the best moon phase app I've ever seen. There's documention available on the M2catalyst website, which is handy for some of the less obvious features. You can add notifications for events like lunar eclipses. I think it's pretty cool!
I have a Galaxy Note 8 and after my last OS update your app doesn't seem supported anymore. Every time I click on your icon it gives me the message that my version of your app is old and that I need to update it. When I try doing it, it goes nowhere: Android does not find it. Please help, I really liked your app. Thanks
Love the app! Hate the news feature. It fails to provide any info. The last thing I have that is "recent" was the supermoon back in February 2019. I haven't recieved anything else. Either make that feature up to date and current or simply remove it from the program entirely.
This app is perfect if you want to know exactly where the moon is at the very second you are checking. You can slide the moon that's on the screen back in time or ahead in the future to see the phase, moonrise, and moonset on any desired date or time! It's easy to use, by far the best app!
I've used this app for a long time. Recently got a new phone and cannot figure out how to set the live wallpaper again. Feeling unnecessarily difficult. I only use the app for the wallpaper nowadays, so if I can't set it back I'll likely delete the app.....
I loved the clean, simple interface ofnthe previous version. Now, because I opt out of sharing access to my entire phone, i get an ugly,crowded version of the interface with two big red exclamation points concealing certain data from being displayed. Just blank out the data you don't want free users to see! Why deface the simple beauty of the display? That just alienates me -a longtime fan -and makes me find anothee app - not give up all my privacy just to see what I used to see on yours....
Just downloaded this app. Love it. I can go back on dates like my bday and can look ahead. However, it's missing 1 function that I am looking for: to be able to note/jot down my moon phase experience each day. Yesterday's New moon had a huge negative effect on me and other that I know (drained energy). So I'm looking to document my personal experience each day. I would pay a decent small price for that function. Please consider. Thank you.
I very, VERY rarely rate apps. When I do, 1 or 5 star are generally off the table as virtually ANY experience could be better or worse. Thai said, 5★. Fantastic app, does exactly what it says and then some. Recent updates are welcome and wonderful! Phases of the Moon has been my phone background for several years now, and it does not disappoint.
I figured out how to set wallpaper! Go on you phone settings (for mine I press and hold on main screen) go under background and it's under live wallpaper. It also has options! I love this app. This is what I've been looking for. Plus no ads :) If y'all could just make a weather one too, that would be nice. Thanks developers!
So I found this app in a weird way. I was writing a book about werewolves, and I realized that modern werewolves would have an app that told them everything about the moon. So I started tooking for the perfect moon app, that told not just simple phases, but percentage full, exact time of moon rise and moon set. Well, I found the perfect moon app. This is it! It has all that and more. Easy to use, fairly intuitive, this app let's you see the moon past present and future. My kids love it
Absolutely love this app. I've had it for years, on every one of my phones (and my tablet). You can set it to alert you for full ,new or whatever phase you want. You can also set it as live wallpaper that is accurate as to the current phase.
I'm already familiar with this app because I've used it extensively in my other devices, and I have to give it the highest rating available, so 5 Stars for making Phases of the Moon and letting us use it free... And I do not recall ever seeing an ad there after frequent and longtime use. I even dialed it back 64 years and learned in which phase of the lunar cycle I was born. I use this app more than any other 'standby" apps I have in any of my devices. Always right on the button accurate, too!!
I can't find how to set the wallpaper - that's mostly the reason I downloaded this app..or so I thought until I opened it. I think it's missing that feature - either it's a bug or somebody forgot to include it. But I've been messing about with the app for about an hour and it otherwise seems perfect as far as I can tell.
This app is amazing. Having a realistic and real time moon on my home page is the best part! Super clear images, very easy to use. Provides a bunch of info without being overwhelming. Please tell me you all have like a sunrise and sunset app! I can't even fully explain how well this app creator did, major props!
Great app. The moon is great. It's light starts as the Arabic language writing, from right to left. I hope you can add a feature in the future of names of months. Lunar months have names in Arabic just as January, February etc. Lunar months don't make much sense without their names. Add their names from Arabic because each name describes the weather conditions of that month etc.
I love this app!! I'm in love with the moon and the wallpaper helps me stay more aware of the phases. However, it stopped working, the wallpaper, that is. I checked my settings. Help! No response to this review or my support email. Very disappointed. I guess I'll need to try another moon app.
I love this app! I wish it had a way to keep the moon and stars visible, with the words and other pictures gone. A button to click to show just the moon, then a click again to bring it all back. Maybe double tap the screen to make it go both ways. I'll still use the app even if it doesn't do all that.
The app was great, until I changed my phone. Now it won't let me use the background function and I missed the last full moon because of that. Plus the wallpapers were pretty neat. Is there a way I can fix this? I've also tried downloading a wallpaper app but it's still not working :c
I LOVE this app! I use it constantly. My only issue is, since I got a new Pixel 4a, the moon cuts off on the right side of the screen. Weirdly, it is barely in the screen at the first quarter, new moon and last quarter, but moves over and cuts off at the full moon. And always it's off center. I put up with it because I know and love the app already, but maybe there will be a fix!
