I got this one to use the widget to keep up with the lunar calendar easier but you have to pay and by pro for that. I’m tired of apps that hide everything behind a paywall rather than offering special and unique features to encourage users to want to upgrade or spend money on their apps. ### 5/5 — Isac *2026-06-28, version 2.9.44* The best !! 🙏 ### 5/5 — I love that there is an app to track the moon *2026-06-23, version 2.9.44* So I love the moon and I love anything to do with outer space. It helps me a lot to be able to track the phases of the moon especially for my journaling. ### 4/5 — Wonderful but… *2026-06-22, version 2.9.44* Wonderful, but refresh or update the moon howls/actions more! ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-06-18, version 2.9.44* Live it ### 5/5 — Moon *2026-06-17, version 2.9.44* I really love this app since it tells me all the times when the moon is up and there is NO adds at all. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-06-08* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-04, version 2.9.44* Tried many this was only perfect and easy to work with and comprehensive. Love it ### 5/5 — So Helpful *2026-05-31, version 2.9.44* Use this app every day year round planning my outdoor schedule. ### 5/5 — Nice widget and app *2026-05-30, version 2.9.44* The widget is nice. The app is functional and runs well. It has lots of interesting information for nerds. I’ll only be annoyed if it asks me to review it again after I leave this review. ### 5/5 — Miss Carol Trevor *2026-05-28, version 2.9.44* Love the Moon app need howling on the full Moon ### 5/5 — Functional *2026-05-04, version 2.9.43* Easy to use. Easy to understand. Let’s me know exactly where we are in the moon phase with added details. Try it! ### 2/5 — Malicious adds *2026-05-01, version 2.9.43* I love the app, but the last time I opened it, the whole screen had an advertisement banner which was a screenshot of a home screen with a with a “your phone is hacked” warning. So they need to ditch their add network, as it’s being used to serve scams through their app. ### 5/5 — Très belle application. *2026-04-29* Facile à utiliser et précise dans toutes les mesures. ### 5/5 — 👌🏻 *2026-04-28, version 2.9.43* 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — I use it all of the time and love it!!! 💜 *2026-04-26, version 2.9.43* 💯 worth $2.99 a year! ### 5/5 — Fases da lua *2026-04-17* Amo o fases da lua, não fico sem! Top ### 5/5 — ★彡 *2026-04-11* Приложение хорошое,каждый день смотрю по этому календарю какая будет Луна.Мне нравится(´∀｀*)！！ ### 2/5 — l dont want widges *2026-04-04, version 2.9.43* my phone is too full. now, should I update? ### 5/5 — Une app super complète *2026-04-04* J’avais besoin de suivre le cycle de lune pour mes soins beauté, et j’ai testé plusieurs applications. Celle-ci est la plus complète que j’ai trouvé. La version gratuite donne accès à toutes les fonctionnalités dont j’avais besoin, mais la version payante est si peu chère que j’y ai souscrit pour soutenir le créateur de l’app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Should not be a subscription *2025-01-27* This looks like a decent app, but to remove ads, you have to pay $1.99 per month. If there was an actual an ongoing service, I’d think about it. This needs to be a one time payment for a license. I’m not paying $24/year for something that isn’t likely to increase in value. Version history reflects that no significant features have been added in the last year and we shouldn’t have to pay for fixing bugs. I absolutely hate ads so I’m deleting this. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you find the app useful, and we’re sorry to see that the current pricing structure didn’t meet your expectations. We understand your concerns and appreciate your perspective. It’s important to note that the app is free to download and use, and the vast majority of our users enjoy the core features without any cost. The optional subscription to remove ads is designed to support ongoing maintenance, server costs, and continuous improvements—ensuring the app remains up-to-date and reliable for everyone. We’re constantly working to improve the app, and over the past year, we’ve implemented several significant updates. For example, we added the ability to customize the initial screen, and we completely rewrote the alerts system to make it simpler, more intuitive, and more powerful. ### 1/5 — No homescreen widget *2025-01-26, version 2.9.29* No homescreen widget available ### 1/5 — Bug in elevation chart *2024-11-06, version 2.9.25* Unfortunately, the solar and lunar elevation chart still has a bug (which has been there for months), and it was the main reason I used this app. I hope the issue is resolved soon. ### 1/5 — Disregarding minor request for an update *2024-10-20, version 2.9.25* I like the app but I opt to give it only one star, I have the paid version and willing to keep it for long. Reason for the one star is that I sent a request couple of times to add sunset time on Moon page which is very helpful for new moon siting when I need to move back and forth through few days and I need to keep my eye of sunset time for these days. The request is minor and too simple to be added, yet it was totally ignored by developer. ### 1/5 — Didn’t have a widget for iOS 17.6.1 *2024-08-23, version 2.9.20* No way to add the widget to the Home Screen or control center. Pointless to charge for an app with only half of the features available to iOS. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2024-06-22, version 2.9.18* The “in-app purchases” section of this listing states there is a $2.99 annual pro option, however there is no option in the app itself. I reached out to support, and they emailed back saying the monthly option is the only option. That’s a bit scammy in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Виджеты *2023-11-28, version 2.9.9* Зачем про?версия я хочу установить виджет ,разработчики сделайте все бесплатно как дуолинго ,вот в дуолинго все бесплатно и виджеты тоже ,пожалуйста заметьте ### 1/5 — Updated UI *2023-11-08, version 2.9.9* App needs a design overhaul. The app design is still stuck in the past. It needs a 2023 UI design overhaul particularly given that I am a paying subscriber. ### 1/5 — que vuelva a ser gratis *2023-08-19, version 2.9.5* pongan la wea gratis ### 1/5 — Обновление *2023-07-20, version 2.9.1* После обновления 20.07.2023 пропал виджет с рабочего стола, и больше не устанавливается, данное приложение было мной скачано только из за виджета. Теперь оно мне ни к чему. Плохо, я жалею что обновила приложение. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Moon cycles *2026-08-23, version 2.9.45* Fun app to check for full moons. ### 5/5 — Moon *2026-08-21, version 2.9.45* Love this ### 5/5 — I can just see what the moon is like so every day I can look at it and feel smart *2026-08-21, version 2.9.45* 55555 Stars just so you know, I’m a kid typing this so I might not be right ### 5/5 — Moon Cycle *2026-08-19, version 2.9.45* Great detail and information, helpful to gain perspective on how the moon cycle affects my wellbeing. ### 5/5 — Why I like moon phases and lunar calendar *2026-08-17, version 2.9.45* It’s just helpful and I’m a big moon fan and Yh I love night and moons and I love the weather so Yh that’s why I like it ### 5/5 — Adorable merci *2026-08-02, version 2.9.45* Utiliser les données de sécurité ### 5/5 — Moon Over Me *2026-07-30, version 2.9.45* Moon Phases et al is one of my most cherished apps. Always there to remind me of the light that reflects the Son. Thank you for this! ### 5/5 — Suggestion for a update *2026-07-18, version 2.9.45* I love this app and I use it to capture the full moon perfectly knowing where it is and what time it will happen but I do have some suggestions for a update. Maybe if you can or could make it so that it shows when Blood moon or any type of event’s with the moon will happen on some day can happen in the calendar? That’s just my only suggestion for a little update on the app! It would be perfect, trust. ### 5/5 — Convenient well designed *2026-07-18, version 2.9.45* If you want a clean and easy to read awesome looking app in your phone, this is the one to lookout for ### 5/5 — Distance from the moon *2026-06-30, version 2.9.44* I love watching how close we are to the moon from moment to moment. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
