Made for each other

Great companion app for crater hopping with a decent telescope…

Toll

Macht Spaß!

Great app on mobile

This is a great app on phone and iPad, in fact the best Moon atlas for mobile. It would also be a great app for the Mac (or iPad with touchpad or mouse) if mouse support was added, or at the very least zoom and scroll buttons.

Best moon globe app

Detailed moon globe with names, and accurate moon phase. Great for identifying moon stuff when looking through a telescope.

Good for orientation

Nice little app that does what it is meant for: It helps to identify the structures which you see in the telescope, and lets you adapt the view to the type of your telescope. Can also show you the back of the moon, but the current view of the moon is the interesting part when you own a telescope. Well worth the money.

Great App

Very pleased with the information that this app shows.

No update for 8 years

This is a superb app for moon topography and still works well although has not been updated for 8 years. Perhaps the answer is simply that it does not need updated. I would however like to know if it is now an orphan app?

Good, but out of date and unsupported

Does not have the latest Lunar Landers, for example the Chinese lander. Has not been updated in 4 years. App Support links to a dead URL. All of which is a real shame, as it’s a really nice app!

Very Nice

Fun little app to show the moon phase and interesting details. I wish there was an option to have it open with no buttons showing (unless you tap the screen). I use it to set my daily screen wallpaper with an iOS shortcut, but the buttons keep showing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Getting old

Please please please please update the app. I love it but it’s getting on and at the very least needs updating for bigger screens. Topography, gravity and magnetic maps should also be added, features I’d happily pay for as in-app purchases.

It’s Ok but a few disappointments

As a long time amateur astronomer I think it’s just ok. An app in my pocket to identify features at the eyepiece. The terminator is poorly defined. When I select a date I want to know exactly what is in high relief on the terminator. I was also disappointed it didn’t have a little more resolution even in the HD version. It’s basic.

Best moon app

This the best moon app I've found. Beautiful and well-organized.

Super zur Orientierung und Information

Die App ist super einfach und klasse zur Orientierung auf dem Mond. Nie wieder verlaufen 😊

Used regularly-good

I liked the free one, purchased the more high def one. Excellent overview related to backyard visual observing. Online resources have more, like elevation, gravity, mineral maps, selection by feature type This is great for simplicity.

Our Solar System....

This is where knowledge of our Solar System begins....the Moon. Get to know our nearest neighbor w. this outstanding app.

Ein Traum!

Nutze die App am SCT, hierfür ist die Möglichkeit zur gespiegelten Darstellung perfekt zum Zuordnen und Vergleichen der Karte mit dem Teleskopbild. Sehr gut auch die Darstellung der Kraternamen, mit Möglichkeit der Anzeige weiterer Infos wie z.B. deren Größe. Mit einfachem Tippen können die Bezeichnungen an- und ausgestellt werden. Dann ist der Blick frei auf die detaillierte Mondlandschaft: Einzoomen und darüber hinweg gleiten, einfach nur traumhaft!

Amazing App!

Fantastic detailed map of the moon with various orientation option adds another dimension to my telescope viewing. Thank you!

Great for Moon photographers with telescope

One feature would be great: Being able to adjust the „darkness“ of the dark side of the moon. In reality, the transition from light to dark at the terminator is faster and steeper than here in the app.

Good reference.

I would like to see a grid for scale.

Absolutely stunning!

I’m a very dedicated amateur astronomy educator, and I spend a lot of time showing people the moon. I’m sad to say that my knowledge of the names of the moon’s craters and highlands is middling at best. This app is a beautiful and easy-to-use tool for reviewing those names, for figuring out what you can see on the moon when, and for generally exploring our closest celestial neighbor. There’s nothing half as good on the app store for learning our moon
