### 3/5 — After the most recent update it doesn’t work

*2024-04-05*

I’ve liked this app more than other moon and astrology tracking, but after the update today it just closes as soon as I attempt to open it.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for letting us know that you're having issues with accessing the app. If you like to email me at hi@itsjustaphase.app we can troubleshoot this further for you - in the meantime if you'd like to make sure your OS is updated to the latest version - this may remedy the issue! Thanks, Kat :)

### 4/5 — please help <3

*2024-01-21*

I have had this app for quite a bit and I love it! It’s definitely one of the more accurate and user-friendly apps (with lots of cool insights too!) that I’ve found which has naturally made it my favorite. But ever since the most recent update (Dec 23 - Jan 24), I have not been able to use it. I have uninstalled and installed it multiple times and restarted my phone to no avail and I’m really sad about it!! I would please like help fixing this issue so I can keep enjoying one of my fav apps.

**Developer response:** Hi Ivi! Thanks for reaching out. We are currently optimised for iOS version 17, try upgrading your iOS via your settings and the app should be working. If that doesn't work please contact me via hi@itsjustaphase.app. You may like to sign up to our mailing list too (here - https://itsjustaphase.app/sign-up/) as we send alerts when we have updates :) Thanks and let me know how you go! Kat (app creator)

### 4/5 — Decent app

*2024-01-01*

I’ve had this app for a couple of years now and I’ve enjoyed it. However, I haven’t been able to use it since the most recent update. I deleted it and re-downloaded it again and it just will not work. It will show that an app is opening, no logo or identifying information for the app, then it just disappears from the screen. I’m not sure what’s going on but I’m hoping it’ll be fixed soon.

### 4/5 — Sidereal

*2023-12-30, version 5.6*

Please add a sidereal option. Other than that, love the app.

### 4/5 — Been using for a while

*2023-07-04*

But i see there is a layout update which would be cool if the app would open. Hoping this will be fixed. Im been using the app for abt 2 years now and i would hate to go to another 🫶

**Developer response:** Hi there! Sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing the app - we have completed an update to fix some timezone issues. Have you tried resetting or reinstalling the app? Usually this resolves the issue :) EDIT - checking back, have you been able to access? Let me know via hi@itsjustaphase.app if you still have questions, thanks! Kat (app creator)

### 4/5 — Miss the red design

*2023-03-19*

I really loved this app and how aesthetic it was. The latest update has changed to a design I’m personally not the biggest fan of, but I also understand this is a very small team and y’all are just trying to make changes based off feedback. I just wish there was a little bit more of the old design left with this new one 🖤 I still appreciate all you guys are doing. The new design just isn’t the one for me, personally 🖤

**Developer response:** Hi Nadia, thanks so much for your kind and considered feedback. Yes, we're a tiny team on a very small budget as we're entirely customer-funded. Our recent changes were made based on survey data (you may have noticed surveys being sent out with our monthly emails).  If you'd like to reach out with anymore feedback on the design, please email us over at hi@itsjustaphase.app. Thanks again :) Kat (app creator)

### 3/5 — Made changes and it’s missing parts

*2023-01-24, version 4.3*

They made changes, it used to have when to reflect etc at different phases of the moon month but they got rid of it! It’s what I found most useful tbh

### 3/5 — Good App but No Longer Aesthetically Pleasing

*2023-01-21*

I like the app but would have liked an option to change it to dark theme. It’s dark and too bright at the same time. (-minus 1 star)

**Developer response:** HI there, thanks for your feedback. We conducted many surveys before making this change, it is based on the feedback we collected in 2021 and '22. We hope to have a theme option soon however we're a small team, depending on donations to keep the app up and running. Hope you still continue to enjoy it :) Kat (app creator)

### 2/5 — Just spins

*2022-11-22, version 3.3*

Just spins, but won’t open.  10 minutes of it spinning and not opening, I give up.  Used to work great.

### 3/5 — used to love :(

*2022-08-19, version 3.1*

i used to use this app literally all the time, and just recently i haven’t been able to get onto it at all, just stays on the loading screen?

### 4/5 — 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

*2022-08-15*

I just downloaded this app and I love it!!! It’s VERRRRY aesthetically pleasing and provides a lot of things that I was looking for in search of a good lunar calendar app. One thing that I would absolutely love is if the app provided information on what the moon phase is. I find myself going straight to Google after opening the app and I feel that part should be within the app. Maybe even what the phases mean on the more spiritual side of things? Like what each phase is tied to, for example healing, balance, love, etc. This would be quite a nice touch as well. Again, I really love this app and thank you so much for putting it out there!!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the kind review and the thoughtful feedback! Taking your recommendations on board. We are always working on improving the app and providing more features, make sure you've signed up to our emails (see settings within the app) so that you're first to receive updates. Thanks, Kat (app creator)

### 4/5 — Connectivity issues

*2022-03-17*

This has been going on a little over a week now every time I try to use the app it will load for a few seconds then go to a white screen saying connectivity issues wait a few seconds or click try again and I do both I’ve restarted my phone re-downloaded the app i have a iPhone 12 is that helps

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry to hear you're experiencing issues! We've been working away on the app in the background, if this error is displaying for you please try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Let me know if that helps :) Thanks, Kat (app creator)

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2022-03-12*

Having been able to use this in weeks, keeps saying “something went wrong”. Also would like to be able to plug in my chart and interpret how I’m more personally affected by the current phase and sign.

**Developer response:** UPDATE - wondering if this has been resolved for you? If so I'd love for you to reconsider the rating :) thanks in advance. 

We're working away in the background making some changes, sorry you've experienced this issue. If you'd like to delete and reinstall the app it should be working for you again, thanks for your feedback, let me know how you go! - Kat (app creator)

### 2/5 — Won’t load since update

*2022-02-26, version 2.2*

I used to adore this app but since it’s last update it won’t open, it says something went wrong

### 3/5 — Such a shame

*2022-02-23, version 2.0.2*

### 1/5 — Wont let me into my account

*2025-04-03, version 7.0.2*

I created an account and then tried to sign in, but it keeps saying “incorrect password,” even after I reset my password. How am I supposed to use the app when I can’t get into it?

### 1/5 — no horoscope

*2025-01-30*

this app USED to be good maybe mine is broken but i can’t even see the horoscopes anymore…which was the whole point of this app. I cant use the calendar either because you have to pay for it so now all i have is a blank screen with the date ontop… fun😐 even after i updated the app. Like does anyone else have this

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2024-01-03*

Tried removing the app, restarted the phone, reinstalled and it still won’t open correctly. It disappears and when I look at open apps it just shows a white page if it shows up at all. If I tap on that it disappears again.

**Developer response:** Hi there! thanks for the feedback, sorry to learn you're having issues with accessing the app, we have made some changes based on customer feedback to our design. You can try updating your iOS software on your iphone and reinstall - that should work. Please let me know how you go with that - you can email me at hi@itsjustaphase.app - Thanks, Kat (app creator)

### 1/5 — New layout

*2023-05-11*

I’m only giving this one star because the new layout you guys have looks rlly bland boring and cheap compared to the other one. And one one who’s had this way before knows what i’m talking about i hope you guys chance it or make it look more cool :p

**Developer response:** Hey there, trying to keep everyone happy with design is hard! we're a tiny team providing ways for introspection and moon musings through our free app - we loved our old design too, and some changes are coming up however really low reviews keep our rating low in the store so we'd really appreciate you reconsidering the stars.  Stay in touch re: changes via our enewsletter - hope you stick around :)

used to love this app. but for months it hasn’t been letting anyone i know including me access the app. such a same will be deleting as i’ve waited months for it to be resolved.

### 1/5 — Harsh graphics

*2022-02-24, version 2.1*

Was enjoying this but the latest update has changed the graphics. The bright white is so harsh on the eyes and is off putting. Can you give us the choice about background colour? Not using it anymore.
Thanks for the response. I do know how to change the brightness in my phone.

### 1/5 — What's Going On?!

*2021-04-14, version 1.53*

I used to love this app, but for the last few days it won't open. I've restarted the app numerous times as well as restarted my phone. When I click app support here the page cannot be reached. What's the deal?

### 1/5 — I think it’s broken...???

*2020-08-03, version 1.51*

I loved this app, but mine has been stuck on loafing dimensions for months now.

### 5/5 — It’s not just a Phase! it’s a journal and mood tracker

*2024-05-22*

I love this app so much, I love connecting with the energy of the moon, my emotions and tracking it through journaling. This app is cleverly put together, easy to use, and aesthetically pleasing! I love the calendar aspect and daily query feature with inspirational quotes is so cool!

### 5/5 — It’s fixed!!!

### 5/5 — Great UI and overall a really clean layout

*2022-02-20*

I’ve been using this app for quite a while and I love it to pieces. I really enjoy the daily notifications and look forward to learning more about the moon and all that. However, I just got a new IPhone and the app isn’t working for me and it says that there’s an error for me to try again. It’s not a big deal, because I can just wait for another update to come out and see if that works. Overall I love this app, 10/10!!
