But it would be great if the spacecraft mode could include 21st century landing sites of craft from China, India and Japan. ### 4/5 — Very good but… *2024-06-09, version 2.3* very good, but it actually crashes once you go press the the gear button on the bottom right ### 4/5 — Gud app *2023-08-16* I really like this app. It’s especially good for education, and so I can explore more about Artemis and Moon. It’s still not as high in quality, I know I know we can’t expect very good quality but I hope it’ll change in future like how Google Earth evolved. They could also change the names. I mean their mechanics. Because they aren’t as good as the names represented on Google Earth. That names are always in the correct direction even when you turn the moon upside down. ### 4/5 — An Moon Lover's App. *2022-10-08, version 2.3* I have enjoyed watching the Moon as it makes a Monthly Journey across the Sky ! And since I am 70 plus years old , I would say it is Wonderful Habit When as a young man, we are talking around 10 years old and up , I was amazed at the Beauty of MOON ! And still to this day , I continue to be amazed by it . ### 5/5 — Great for outreach *2022-09-11, version 2.3* Had it going on an iPad at an urban festival celebrating the harvest moon in different cultures. It was a big hit. ### 5/5 — Omg *2022-07-23, version 2.3* I love to ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-06-21, version 2.3* Easy to use.. Great for naming craters ### 2/5 — Clichê da humanidade *2021-12-24* App legal para ver uma lua editada e fantasiosa, da mesma forma que editaram o monólito que apareceu. Para q n possamos ver, é assim na lua inteira. Várias edições para esconder as construções. ### 5/5 — Full satisfaction *2021-12-19* So long no update…(*) //_ I hope the dev are going well _//, and this app will remain “store-present” for still a long time. As a moon lover, this app is not lesd than a necessity to me ! (*) in this crazy app world where weekly updates when not more often are the rule, it’s refreshing to see that a GOOD JOB needs none of these so frequent mostly useless “signs” of… life (?!!). Thanks to the Midnight Martian people ! ### 5/5 — Outstanding Moon App *2021-10-13, version 2.3* For those interested in the moon this app will prove very useful. ### 5/5 — Tons of features and intuitive *2021-09-16, version 2.3* I am a long-time amateur astronomer and have been looking for an app like this to support both detailed and casual lunar observing. ### 5/5 — moon globe *2021-09-10, version 2.3* great free app, easy to use, very detailed. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THUZS BECAUSE…. *2021-09-10, version 2.3* APPOLO 11 THE FIRST MOON LANDING SHEESHHHHH ### 5/5 — Moon *2021-08-28, version 2.3* Good app, simple informative and I like it. ### 5/5 — First Rate App *2021-06-03, version 2.3* Easy to use. Impressive graphics. Lots of details and features. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2021-05-25, version 2.3* Awesome globe and love how you can tweak it to see what you would like to see. 5 stars! ### 5/5 — One Word *2021-04-13, version 2.3* Awesome! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fair *2025-11-23, version 2.3* Wish it would be able to get up closer ### 1/5 — Please show chandrayaan 3 *2023-08-26* Chandrayan 3 not available among other lander probes. Please update ### 1/5 — Ok *2021-02-25, version 2.3* This app is great for me and my life ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2020-09-19, version 2.3* This is a horrible application. Only showed names over black field. Cant use this at the telescope that’s for sure. Do not waste your time. ### 1/5 — A joke *2020-03-06, version 2.3* This app is a joke low res and you can’t zoom too much into it Forget it ### 1/5 — No zoom *2018-08-30, version 2.3* Does not let you zoom in or really see details ### 1/5 — Nope *2018-03-17, version 2.3* I don’t know what this is supposed to be, but it’s not an accurate representation of our moon. ### 1/5 — Lame *2015-09-28, version 2.3* Tonight was super moon and total eclipse and this app was off by a huge margin. We were staring in complete wrong direction thanks to this app. Lame ### 1/5 — 무료라더니. *2011-05-04* 무료라더니 2.99달러가 결재되었습다. 너무하군요. ### 1/5 — Look for your self... *2010-07-03, version 0* Mare Insularum, zoom in and you will see a crater named Reinhold, right of that you will find a long section that has been smudged out or covered by a dark box to be "cencored" ...strange? Look at it. Now if you ask your self why, you need to check out a documentry named "Moon rising" and it will help you understand the "why." ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is very cool! *2025-03-16, version 2.3* I use this app in conjunction with a telescope to visit and understand the moon. It is better than the telescope alone! ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2024-12-14* Toll sich den Mond so anschauen zu können ### 5/5 — Really Useful and Facinating Moon App *2024-07-28, version 2.3* UPDATE: Now I've gotten more used to using the iPhone and Mac Silicone versions (I've not got an iPad). It's an absolutely brilliant app! I'm going to upgrade to the HD version. Although only slightly better resolution the HD version is only 99p so nothing really. I'm disabled and use the Moon Globe in conjunction with my 6" reflector telescope. PREVIOUS REVIEW: I have had this app on my iphone for a number of years, but as my phone screen is only small I'd not used it much. And it wasn't till recently that I realised it might run on an apple silicon mac, it does and being able to use the app full screen on a mac is so much better for me! The reason why only 4 stars is that for me it's a little bit buggy and I have to quit the app and re launch it again. Although it might be me, I'm not very techy. I use the app on cloudy nights when I can't get there with my small telescope ### 5/5 — Wow! *2024-01-22, version 2.3* This app is an amazing start to astronomy and the moon for beginners, and you’d still find it useful if you were a pro astronomer! ### 5/5 — Best app for the moon ever! *2024-01-22, version 2.3* this app is amazing! When i look through my telescope i can know what is what on the moon! ### 5/5 — Great maps of the Moon surface. *2023-12-07, version 2.3* I retired and recently purchased my 1st telescope. I really enjoy viewing the moon, and this is the best map I’ve found. ### 5/5 — Gg *2023-06-13, version 2.3* I love space the prefect game. ### 5/5 — Beautiful!!! *2023-05-28, version 2.3* Wow! Wow! Simply Beautiful!! ### 5/5 — Excellent for amateur astronomers *2023-01-11, version 2.3* I recently upgraded my telescope and was looking for an app that would provide more information about what I am seeing when I look at the Moon. This is ideal, with things such as a red night mode, proper changing illumination on features as the phase changes, librarion (apparent “wobble”) etc. And for free you can’t go wrong (I may well upgrade to the HD version just to recompense the author). Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Ttttooooddddd *2022-09-17, version 2.3* Best!,!! I Iove astronomy!,!!!” --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
