Brilliant Moon App
Update - still the best in my opinion.
Won’t start
I installed and deleted because the app won’t open
Suddenly stopped working..,
Suddenly won't open. Pity as it's a great app and I use it all the time to compliment an atlas. Are we expecting an update?
Unique Approach to Moon Geography
I have several moon atlases, but this one is special. Using photo mosaics you are shown the moon as it appears today with important features named. These views include the visible surface during different phases. You can select the features you want to see. No one else provides this as far as I know.
As a retired science teacher I can recommend this as fun and educational for astronomers of all ages. It is useful for moon watching with telescope or binoculars. This is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

It’s ok; not sure it will be your Goto source
Look up structure such as Rupes Recta. Find that in the index. Then select to show it; the app displays a view of the Rupes Recta vicinity but Rupes Recta is NOT listed and not in view. Fiddling one finds an annotation “ R” but doesnt designate the name; just an R. Well there’s two Rs in the region which is which? Anyway one just muddles along w/ the app. My primary gripe is the app doesn’t rotate

Nice!
Very nice program. Simple to use. Does just what it says it will do. I especially like the ability to flip and/or mirror according to your telescope type. No having to rotate your moon map and decipher upside-down labels. Just one small negative: it only works in portrait on my ipad2 (no landscape).

Excellent idea, excellent implementation
Bought the app tonight. Does exactly what it says it does, and does it well. I have no complaints. Automatically went to a map that perfectly matched what I was looking at. Just had to adjust the S up setting to match my telescope.
Best Idea; Incomplete Implementation
The only Moon maps that clearly label what is visible along the terminator unfortunately lack further information. After learning the name of a feature, you must consult another reference for further details. Brief biographical or historical information about each name would be a big improvement.
Still, I could identify nothing from other Moon maps, but quickly identified the large, lit crater extending well into the dark side of the Moon on the night I bought the app: The Jura Mountains surrounding the Bay of Rainbows on Moon Day 10.5. Satisfaction!

Looks Great
I haven't gotten into the field with this, and from the weather report don't think I will soon, but this will be a very useful program. When we observe we normally "walk" the terminator from top to bottom identifying all the craters along the way. I appreciate that I can set the view to match that of my Newtonian reflector and don't have to learn to read upside down as the labels are rotated.
I would like a little more zoom and names of those reams on the dark side of the Moon that are the first and last to catch light. I know I get a bigger picture in portrait mode but I would like to be able to put the iPad in my lap locked in landscape mode so I don't have to be as worried about it slipping between my legs.
