## What is Lunar Phase?

Get instant moon phase and eclipse information by using Lunar Phase. This app is an advanced lunar calendar with notifications, including upcoming phases, solar, and lunar eclipses, covering the entire 21st century. 2001 thru 2100.

You can track lunar and solar eclipses, and it also includes a synodic cycle explorer.

The initial page is the quick glance. It shows the present phase of the moon, visible percentage, age in days, distance, and the current zodiac constellation the moon is moving thorough.

Also displayed are the next 4 upcoming phases, with exact phase times, moon rise and set times. All of the moon images indicate eclipses, super, and micro moons. Tap on them to see the single day view for that moon.

All of the full moons are named. Wolf, Snow, Worm, Pink, Flower, Strawberry, Buck, Sturgeon, Corn, Hunter's, Beaver, Cold and Harvest.  The Full Harvest Moon, is the full moon closest to the fall equinox. It frequently occurs in September, but can occur in October.

If you allowed the app access to your location, you will also see azimuth, altitude, and moon rise and set times for the present day. 

All moon images are adjusted for the hemisphere you are in. So folks south of the equator see the moon as it appears in their sky. Location access is required for this feature.

The lunar calendar shows the phase of the moon for each day of the month. The present date is highlighted in green. All four phases of the moon are identified in this view, along with Lunar and Solar Eclipses, Supermoons, Micromoons, and Blue moons. The calendar covers dates from January 2001, through December 2100.

Select an individual day, and you will see the detail view for that day. By using the slider control in that view, you can see information about every minute of that day. Lunar eclipse information is displayed here.

The solar eclipse view lists all solar eclipses for the 21st century. Scroll through the list, select a chosen eclipse and you will be shown a preview of that eclipse. The preview is a static image, which represents an overview of the entire eclipse. 

Total, Annular, and Hybrid eclipses also have a map view to explore. The map view, is an interactive google map, displaying a countdown until greatest eclipse.

The lunar eclipse view lists all lunar eclipses for the 21st century. There are 228 of them. The list scrolls to the next eclipse in chronological time. You can tap the title button, to scroll to the top of the list. If you tap it a second time, it will take you to the next eclipse in chronological time. The title button acts as a toggle between the two.

The lunar eclipse detail view displays the elevation of the moon for the duration of the eclipse. Start, end times, and compass headings are displayed.

Each stage of the eclipse is clearly identified, with start, end and duration.

The synodic cycle view shows variations in the duration of the synodic month, new moon to new moon.

There is a repeating cycle that occurs every 111 months, or 9 1/4 years. You can pinch and spread that view to zoom in or out, and see years and decades. You can also pan the view to explore dates visually or select any date desired, by tapping the date button and selecting a date in the picker.

In the settings view you can choose to see distances in Miles or Kilometers. Also you can select which notifications you would like receive. These not only include notifications for the four phases, but also for Lunar and Solar eclipses. You can choose to be notified of a lunar event up to 24 hours in advance.

Also you can select between Tropical or Sidereal astrological calculations for the constellation.

Use the Today or Home Page Widgets to see the current phase, and upcoming phases, conveniently.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-03-19*

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s free and useful. It has never let me down.

### 4/5 — Love the App, Hate the Ads

*2024-10-02*

I’ve enjoyed this app for years. I even pay for it. Now I’m getting served ads while I’m subscribed. Not good.

### 5/5 — Great but widget stopped working lately.

*2022-09-23*

Best one but widget stopped working. Would be great to also have the equinoxes and solstices in the calendar too.

### 5/5 — Love this app, but recent glitch

*2022-05-10*

I use this app daily and love it - but with the last update, the calendar doesn’t work! All the other options seem to work. If you tap on the calendar, the app instantly closes/crashes. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, but to no avail. Please fix! Thank you!

Edit: I contacted the developer and they promptly fixed the issue and let me know the update was ready and available for download (thank you, again!). Great app, great developer! Highly recommend to all interested in a great moon/lunar phase app!

### 5/5 — Moon Percentage Fix

*2022-05-08*

Thanks for the fix, I’ve been wondering why it was WRONG lately!

### 1/5 — New version locks up

*2022-04-06*

Wish I didn’t upgrade as it now freezes on the main page and doesn’t respond to any menu options. I’m using iPadOS 13.6.1, which is supposed to work with this app.

### 3/5 — Widgets blank

*2022-03-25, version 1.9*

Sorry, but after your latest update, your widgets are blank & all of them not loading, even the legacy widget.

### 5/5 — Has moon names!

*2021-02-26*

Despite the ads, this is already my preferred my moon phase app just because it's one of the only ones that actually tells you the heritage name of each full moon! (Snow moon, strawberry moon, etc.)

### 5/5 — exactly what i wanted

*2020-09-29*

just downloaded this app this eve and it’s exactly what i wanted— nice moon graphic along with info on illumination percentage and moon rise and set info, presented simply. app has other features as well such as lunar and solar eclipse info which i probably won’t utilize but i’m sure some will folks appreciate. app also came with a widget so i can easily swipe to see all the info i need.  so! happy!  only feedback for developer is that i find the eclipse pages difficult to read with the small white text on the black background. and the white arrow button  used to navigate just doesn’t feel as slick as the other graphics. too blocky. i’ll update my review if i have any issues with usability but so far i’m pleased. i’d happily pay a couple bucks to remove the ads but don’t see that option. thanks for a great app!

### 5/5 — ¡Extraordinaria aplicación!

*2020-09-23, version 1.5*

Fantástica, funciona todo perfectamente y con precisión.
Ademas es gratuita y sin publicidad.
La mejor de todas las aplicaciones sobre la Luna y además es gratuita.
