### 4/5 — Moon Seeker

*2024-04-08, version 5.8.5*

It’s a fun app. Similar to Sun Seeker. Unfortunately the Grid in 3D view does not stay off. When reopening the app the Grid in 3D view reappears.

### 4/5 — Awesome app and easy to use.

*2023-02-08*

If you’re interested in where is the moons location is and were it’s going to be then this app is awesome for that.

### 4/5 — Missing some functions

*2021-11-19, version 5.8.1*

Missing some function from Sunseeker, like a time slider.

### 4/5 — Current Issue // Thinks Moon is about 90° Away

*2021-11-16, version 5.8.1*

Currently says the moon is 90° or so away from its current position. 

Great app otherwise.

### 4/5 — Perfect tool

*2021-04-27, version 5.7.4*

I shoot time lapse photography, and this app lets me accurately plan my shots for moon movements. Ideal, simple, very stable. Great app!

### 4/5 — No 3D compass view🙁

*2016-02-01, version 5.0*

The app is pretty good, but I bought it specifically because of the 3D compass view. When I tried to use that feature, it said it couldn't do it because my device didn't have a compass. Is there any way to fix that? Or do I just have to get a new device?

### 5/5 — 12am mark

*2015-03-17, version 4.2*

There is two positions for mid night. Which create a gap on the display.
Please correct it.
This is a good app, keep it like that.  Thanks

### 3/5 — Quite ok, but lacking behind in features with respect to Sun seeker!

*2014-09-28, version 3.0*

Please update the app with all the great feature Sun Seeker already has!

### 3/5 — Not as good as partner program, Sun Seeker

*2014-09-25, version 3.0*

The programmers have a lot to do to pattern this program after Sun Seeker, a much better program. In addition, the program does not function properly in iOS 8.

### 5/5 — Do not buy

*2014-07-11, version 3.0*

This app does not let you set other locations. It won't let you set or display map locations. Do not buy until this is fixed.

### 5/5 — Nice and useful app!

*2014-06-29, version 3.0*

Great companion app to Sun Seeker! I really wonder what took me so long to find it. Would love an iOS 7 style update!

### 3/5 — Missing Date Features

*2014-06-02, version 3.0*

I've used Sun Seeker for a long time and really appreciate the ability to animate the date period, as well as the map view. I just got Moon Seeker and expected to see the same features here, but am disappointed. Please include those features and I will be happy!

### 3/5 — not good

*2013-06-23, version 3.0*

Have enjoyed sun seeker from the same company for years but disappointed in the accuracy of this, when you are trying to anticipate where the moon is going to come up for a timelapse video it wanders all over the place. When it finally settles to a spot it can be a full finger length out at arms length, an enormous error on a long lens and just totally ruined a supermoon rise I had been planning for ages.

### 1/5 — No Refund

*2020-05-26, version 5.7.3*

I requested a refund through iTunes because this app did not have the feature I was looking for. I did not get a response. I tried again and was told this purchase was not eligible for a refund. 1 star.

### 1/5 — Didn't need to upgrade

*2020-01-13, version 5.6.2*

I loved this app ... until November, when it required a newer version of iOS than I have on my phone. Now I feel cheated out of what I paid!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-10-07, version 3.0*

App crashes when I try to open calendar.

### 1/5 — Not ready for prime time.

*2012-09-12, version 1.1*

After installing the companion Sun Seeker app, I found Moon Seeker and eagerly installed it. What a disappointment.

Where the compass feature works great in Sun Seeker, it completely fails to work in Moon Seeker. It lags, does not accurately show the moons position, and I can't even use the feature to see where the moon will be at a certain time.

I was VERY disappointed. I can only hope an upgrade will remedy the issues. Until then, DON'T EVEN BOTHER with this app.

### 2/5 — App always lags and doesn’t update locations

*2022-11-08, version 5.8.5*

What the title said

### 2/5 — Non funziona su iphone4s

*2017-02-15, version 5.1*

Non funziona correttamente su iphone 4s ios 9.3.5

### 2/5 — Completely Inaccurate

*2012-06-15, version 1.1*

Moon jumps around and wonders off even when not moving the phone. The 3D compass, what I purchased this for, is worthless. Do as many figure 8s as you want.

### 2/5 — Great concept, faulty

*2012-04-09, version 1.1*

Sunseeker Works Great, not moonseeker. I hope update will fix compass inaccuracy.

### 3/5 — Falta tradução Português

*2020-12-22*

Poderia

### 3/5 — Does what is says it does

*2015-05-11, version 4.2*

A pretty good app. Unfortunately for me, I keep location services off (call me a crazy person who values their privacy) so I don't get to experience half of what it says it can do. I wish devs didn't assume everyone wants to be tracked all the time by a multitude of large and small companies.

### 5/5 — TOP

*2026-06-28, version 5.9.1*

Si je puis dire !

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2024-10-13*

I am a real estate professional and this tool and its other partner, the Sun Seeker are very helpful on site recys for me. The good part is that there are many things to discover in the app as we tinker around with it.

### 5/5 — Moonseeker

*2023-10-28, version 5.8.5*

Très simple à utiliser 👍

### 5/5 — Moon Viewing & Photography

*2021-04-25, version 5.7.4*

Great app for following moon cycles and relative locations.

### 5/5 — とても使い易いです。

*2020-08-03, version 5.7.3*

写真撮影時に事前に場所の確認が出来るのでとても重宝してます。
日本語版があると更に良いと思います。

### 5/5 — Неправильно показывает

*2020-05-29*

Всегда есть сдвиг то в одну, то в другую сторону, причём иногда реальное местоположение Луны не попадает в нарисованную траекторию вообще. Тоже самое и в Sun seeker.

### 5/5 — 3D view crashes

*2017-10-29, version 5.4*

Version 5.4 crashes every time I try use the 3D view on an iPhone 5s running iOS 9.3.5

### 5/5 — Completely brilliant!

*2015-12-22, version 5.0*

I use this all the time to know exactly where moon will be for  filming and photography. The map overlay and sun path camera overlay are really useful. Brilliant! Great companion app to Sun Seeker

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2015-09-29, version 5.0*

Hey, this is my first comment about apps. This app is awesome, I also use other apps made by ozpda, like sun seeker etc. but one thing I want to talk about is this app's icon, there is a little bit white line in the right hand side. As I always align ozpda's apps in a line, this white line really annoys me, can you make some change about it? Thanks

### 5/5 — Sweet Upgrade!  : )

*2015-08-11, version 5.0*

When I originally bought the "Sun Seeker" app I loved it so much I bought the Moon Seeker app as well.  I was a little  disappointed with Moon Seeker compared to Sun Seeker.  This new update changed all that.  Now it's AWESOME!  This is a SWEET UPDATE!!! : )  Please keep making more positive updates and I'll keep telling my friends to buy this app! : )
