*2012-09-06, version 2.4*

A mi me es muy útil ...

### 5/5 — Essentials on 1 screen

*2012-05-26*

Other apps required going to several screens to show what this one does in one.

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2011-12-10*

It is important for us military aviators who use night vision goggles to know what the moon is doing that night. This is a great quick reference tool for us.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2011-11-24*

I take astrophotography and this is very useful.

### 5/5 — Straight forward & useful

*2011-10-20*

For me this useful app has been a godsend. I work at dusk and dawn and often need to know sunset/rise time as well as local twilights etc. it's made that aspect of my work very easy to plan for.

### 5/5 — Can't complain

*2011-10-01*

Does everything it supposed to without any bugs. Great for astronomy uses with moon phase and twilight right there.

Sunrise and moon rise info is accurate for your location, which is helpful for estimating travel on the sea on on land.

### 4/5 — De eso de trata, saber si a la hora que vas a salir a correr habrá suficiente luz

No sólo es importante cómo esté la luna pero también la hora a la que te iluminara

### 1/5 — Moon times are wrong

*2018-10-11*

Off by about an hour, as compared to all other moon rise/set apps I have. I have location and time set properly. Sunrise/set times are correct. Not sure why moon is always off.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your Feedback.
We would like to solve this problem of yours, since this is not a normal behaviour of our app. Please write us an e-mail at appsupport@esirion.com with more information about your situation.

### 1/5 — Language

*2016-09-15, version 3.0*

Cant change language from german to english. cant change location in iOS 10 with iphone 5s

### 1/5 — Privacy nightmare

*2014-10-27, version 3.0*

Needs location access even when the app isn't running... Not on my phone.

### 1/5 — Language

*2014-10-07, version 3.0*

I have not been able to change the app's language. Too bad.

### 1/5 — Forget the graphcs

*2011-01-05*

Didn't get as far as confirming the text data after I saw that in terms of grahics, "what you see on the tin" is all you get. 
The graphical display of the phase is "indicative" only, IE there are only 8 phases, not a  true representation of the moon as seen, let alone as seen from your location.

### 1/5 — Not yet ready.

*2010-06-03*

The moon phases are rendered approximately, in discrete steps, rather than showing the actual area of the moon in lightness and darkness at a given time.  There are plenty of moon phase apps out there which DO provide this functionality, and so I can't yet give this app a positive review.

### 3/5 — moon

*2011-07-08, version 2.4*

not bad

### 3/5 — Simple & Nice

*2010-09-10*

Does what it says. Very simple. A monthly / year view would be nice to add in next version.

### 4/5 — Simple & info-packed

*2017-10-06*

Very handy and simple app for seeing civil/ nautical/ astronomical twilight at a glance, as well as moon phases and set/rise times. I always refer to this app when I'm trying to figure out how quickly it'll get dark!

### 4/5 — Nice

*2012-01-22, version 2.4*

Nice app 😊

### 5/5 — Simple

*2022-06-16*

Simple to use. Clear to read. Only 99 cents. 👍 Good for planning my fishing outings. 🎣

### 5/5 — Convenient and easy to use.

*2020-04-12*

Reliable , accurate, stable app.

### 5/5 — So far, so Good

*2019-10-21*

After the old Dark Skies app which i’ve been using for the past 10 years no longer worked with the newer iOS, i’ve been searching for a decent replacement.   Not wanting to spend any money on trash, i’ve been downloading countless “free” apps, but none concisely provided the basic functions that i wanted : sunrise & set and moonrise & set, as well as moon phases, for anywhere, anytime.  So i finally splurged and spent 99¢ on this GPSAstro app and am finally a happy camper once again !

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2016-12-30*

It's nice to see sunrise and sunset, but even more useful are the civil twilight times.

### 5/5 — Awesome

### 5/5 — This does what it does well

*2013-11-07*

I use this when planning to take pictures of the sun/moon rise/set.  This helps me plan when and where to be.

### 5/5 — Simple and Great
