☾ ☾ ☾ ☽ ☽ ☽
See the current phases of the Moon with a beautiful 3-D simulation made by NASA satellites. You can even see the shadows change on the Moon as the phases change.
☾ "Fantastic application for tracking everything you ever wanted to know about the moon. Beautifully designed as well. "
- Art
This app shows you the current phase of the Moon, using a simulation of the lunar surface created by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance mission during its observations of the Moon.
☾ "Works great on my Samsung Galaxy Note running Android 4.0.4. The moon phase scrolling is very smooth. A great app that gives you "full control" of the state of the Moon!"
- Chromeman
You can smoothly drag the Moon phase back and forth with your finger, or even "spin it" to quickly advance forwards or backwards. It's kind of hypnotic, and will keep a child entertained for quite a while.
☽ Beautiful images of the Moon were made by NASA from data collected by spacecraft. Watch how the shadows on the craters change over the course of a month, and see the Moon's libration (wobble) as it completes an orbit around the Earth.
☽ Installation includes a Live Wallpaper and a Widget so you don't need to run the app to always know what phase it is.
☽ See the current date, distance, phase name, zodiac location and illumination percentage: updated in real time. GPS detection of your hemisphere and location to make sure the Moon looks right for you.
☽ Swipe left and right to move forward or backwards in time to see what the Moon will look like in the future or past. It slides back and forth with "buttery" smoothness. Spin it faster or slower. You can even set it to spin through its phases on its own.
☽ Pinch to zoom the Moon in and out to reveal more details on the lunar surface, and then pan around with two fingers ☽ Need to find the next full Moon? You can click a button to take you to the next full Moon or new Moon.
☽ You can also access a calendar that shows you the phase of the Moon for any date in the past or future. You can also see a monthly calendar of the Moon's phases.
☽ Share your phase of the Moon images on all the popular social networks
☽ Supports rotation to Landscape mode or Portrait mode
☽ Press "Start Rotating" and watch the Moon rotate through its phases, all on its own.
☽ Pinch to zoom the Moon in and out to reveal more details on the lunar surface, and then pan around with two fingers
☽ Turn on a full lunar atlas, with dozens of labeled locations, including landing sites, craters and lunar maria.
☽ See the zodiac signs so you can find the Moon quickly in the night sky

Excellent app., I had it for years and used it as my background for some time. In the countryside helps to know how much light we can expect at night and the veracity of some country wisdoms i.e. the full moon brings cold weather and frost. I am not aware that this app generated much unwanted advertising or that it collects data from my phone more than any other app does. I have no idea how it makes money.
Had a free version that had quite a bit before I had to factory reset my phone due to issues it was giving me. Went to find the free one again but it wasn't there. Figured since I loved the free one, I'd try out the full version. Has lots more than the other but still great as ever. The set-up is wonderful and easy to use. Definitely worth spending the money to have an app like this to use.
Been a PRO customer for years now. 1 of the few apps I always download when I get a new phone. The moon widget was the reason why I choose this app. I use the live background and haven't came across any major issues, Just a small lag when my phone battery is low. Other than that, no crashes or major lags where I would have to turn of the live background, unlike other apps. I would like to see more of them! Also moon eclipse would be nice & if the moon can fade into different shades gray/red. Thx
One of my favorite apps. I bought the full version. I love astronomy. Wish you could take up the banner and do other galaxy bodies as well. No one seems to be able to master the art you've put into this app with planets or the like. Well made, interactive, informative, easily accessed, and fun. Thanks for a great widget
Love this app. Informative and clear, beautiful imagery. Was super thrilled I could have it in my notifications, but after the last update it disappeared. Hoping I can get it back! I love always knowing where and when the moon is moving! 💗
Helpful when you go straight to the app for information, but I downloaded the app specifically for the purpose of a live background and there seems to be absolutely no option nor instructions to do so. Should have just stuck with the free version with the widget instead of wasting my money.
the best part of this app is it includes a wallpaper that is the moon in its current phase and the stars are subtly moving in the background. AND there is a home screen widget that's just the moon in the current phase and I love it for lots more reasons but I'm too tired to keep typing
I got the paid version so I could have the live wall paper that I had free on my old phone. After paying for the "pro" version... the live wallpaper didn't come with it like advertised. Edit: I was contacted by the app publisher/creator and was shown how you get my wall paper back. I am now completely satisfied and happy with the app!
Ok... once I figured out that I needed to allow more permissions on my phone, now this app works great!!!! "Loved this app, but the live wallpaper won't work with my new Samsung 10 +. at least I can't figure what I'm doing wrong."
Extremely informative and easy to use. I use the moon phases a lot for camping and gardening. It's great that you can scan ahead so easily to see the next full moon or whatever is coming up.
I love this app and have managed to set it as the wallpaper on my phone. However the moving background makes me feel nauseous. I managed to turn it off in the actual app but it still shows now that I've set it as my wallpaper. Help! Mandi Bosworth
I like this app. Moon phases and info at your fingertips. It rotates on command and can be used as live wallpaper as well. I bought the pro version. Uses more memory than some other moon apps but worth it.
This app is easy to use, and the visuals are great. I like being able to easily scroll back or forwards in time to check past and future moon phases.
The moon tonight in Wellington NZ is illuminating at the lower left 7 o'clock quadrant... but the app moon is illuminating at the upper left quadrant 11 o'clock... it is correctly set to southern hemisphere.... pretty misleading.. incorrect
Well worth the payment. I just wish the moon locator map was a little easier to navigate, other than that outstanding.
This app is so cool!!! I love how the widget on my homescreen changes in real time and the features in the app itself are awesome! I haven't had any glitches and it works how it should! A++
Great app which I've had on several phones over the years. Only thing I've noticed on the Huawei P20 Pro is live wallpaper is hiding. Could be a permissions issue but I can't see any option to fix that if so
This is a cool app. I keep writing then deleting things because they sound like a commercial. The bottom line is I like it and it works.
Love this app. I schedule my vacation time, painting, and events etc according to a full moon as it usually rains the week of a full moon. Also plant flowers veggies, trees, shrubs, grass at a full moon due to the greatest possibility of rain.
Great app except the side of the crescent on the moon widget is the opposite to real life and it is bothersome. Otherwise perfection.
I love having the moon phase widget, but it will randomly stop updating unless I restart my phone. Not sure why, wish this issue could get fixed.
Using for a few years. Better before when you could set to auto rotate. Now it often shows as wrong date....
I love the way the lighting model changes on the moon, like the acutal shadows in my telescope.... but I want to zoom up the moon and see its craters, which I can do with two fingers, but its really hard to keep the phase to 'now', it wants to drift .... I'd like to see a time control which has a locked on 'now' option, along with letting you go forwards or backwards to any time, and display the moon phase at that time. like, if this display algorithm was combined with LunarMap HD and its crater labeling, I'd be really really happy!!!! as it is, this app is a $2 toy.
