Thank You.

I’ve used it for years. ### 5/5 — Melhor aplocativo *2025-01-15* Aplicativo lindo, tudo perfeito! Parabéns aos desenvolvedores! ### 5/5 — Круть *2024-09-18* Офигенное приложение, абсолютно ничего лишнего, даже рекламы нет, стильный дизайн, спасибо, даже ребёнок скачал его ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-09-10, version 6.1.1* Always on exact target. I recommend to anyone curious about our moon ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-07-21* Recomendo! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-06-05, version 6.1.1* Very easy to use. Does what is expected of it, swiftly and accurately… who could ask for more! An absolute joy to use. ### 5/5 — Great app!! Best!! *2024-04-06, version 6.1.1* Months later after my first review and this is still the best app. Absolutely hands down the best! Best moon app. But, would request that the wolf howl longer, goes way too quick. A longer full wolf howl would be good. Thank you. This is my go to moon app. Still the best! Good app ### 5/5 — Mooncast :::Past:::Present:::Future *2024-02-26, version 6.1.1* A Great App A great tool for school. It can teach your children all the phases of the moon. It will send you an alert to the next new moon and full moon. Pick a date in the past or in the future and find the phase of the moon on that day. I have had this app a very long time and I have it set to the wolf sound. You can set it to the time of day or night that you want it to alarm. I give it 10 stars. Thank you Mooncast Grandpadad ### 5/5 — Très utile au potager. Fonctionne parfaitement ! *2024-02-22* Voilà une appli remarquable que j’utilise depuis des années sans jamais avoir eu de bug ! Merci ### 5/5 — Mooncast *2024-01-26, version 6.1.1* Would be great if you could say what sign it is in ### 5/5 — Moon 🌚 *2024-01-09, version 6.1.1* Simple and precise 👌 ### 5/5 — LONGEVITY TO THE MOON AND BACK *2024-01-08* If you need to know when anything else to do with the moon prior or after this is probably one of the better abs I've been using it probably for over a decade so I might be biased towards it but if it's not broken why fix it ### 5/5 — Mooncast *2024-01-01, version 6.1.1* I really like this app. It isn't too complex but it is useful with a new moon and full moon reminder ### 5/5 — Prof *2023-12-24, version 6.1.1* Fantastic,well done x ### 5/5 — Einwandfrei *2023-11-19* Die App gefällt mir gut. Benachrichtigungen sind möglich. Auch Widgets sind dabei. Weiter so :-) Das winzige was nervt, sind die ständigen Aufforderungen zum bewerten, obwohl ich bereits bewertet habe! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-07-20, version 6.1.1* Except for the pretty picture, there is nothing here that’s not on the most basic general calendar. Do NOT waste your $$$. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-09-13, version 6.0.3* There are so many other resources that provide much more useful information! What a waste of money!!! I am sorry I downloaded it! ### 1/5 — Love app but would love additional details *2022-06-15, version 5.1.1* The moon does cool things and I want to know when they are happening! Wouldn’t mind paying $2.99 if they provided this information. Other than that great app! ### 1/5 — Complication *2020-08-04, version 4.12.3* I got because I thought it would show the current phase of the moon in the complication not either the full moon or new moon and time. ### 1/5 — 通知が来なくなった *2020-07-04* 今まではとっても素晴らしいアプリだと思ってた。半年前くらいから、設定した満月の日の通知が来なくなり、アプリを使う意味がなくなった。 ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2019-01-21* Der Mond ist nicht zu 100% sichtbar da hier in Halle dicker Nebel ist. ### 1/5 — Kein Kommentar zur Mondfinsternis *2018-07-27* Die Mondfinsternis des Jahrhunderts und der einzige Vermerk ist, Vollmond. Von einer App die sich ausschließlich mit dem Mond beschäftigt, ist das wohl sehr schwach. ### 1/5 — Rausgeworfenes Geld *2018-02-21* Diese App ist unnötig und nichtssagenden ### 1/5 — Twitter *2018-01-31* Twitter投稿したい。 ### 1/5 — Não funciona no iPhone 5 *2014-11-05* Instalei e reinstalei para ver se melhorava, mas o app tem bug. Não deixa vc colocar uma data diferente, ele simplesmente coloca a que ele quer 😢. Precisa arrumar. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Moon *2026-08-05, version 7.0.1* This app lets me know the phases the moon is in.

I love that Mooncast gives us the exact time of total fullness. Don’t even get me started on eclipses! ### 5/5 — Une belle application 👌 *2026-03-26* Un peu légère pour les astrophysiciens en herbes certes, mais une interface simple et claires, des paramètres graphiques biens dosés, un widget de qualité, et cerise sur le sunday " c'est totalement gratuit", comme dirait J.Coni ! Bref une appli bien conçue, efficace à recommander à tous les loup-garous !! 👍 ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-03-03, version 7.0.1* I really like the simplicity of this app, but wondering if it would be possible to add events such as eclipse, blood moon etc.? ### 5/5 — После стольких лет… *2026-02-17* Обновление!! ### 5/5 — All Moon; All the time! *2026-02-16, version 7.0.0* Wonderful resource and very pretty. ### 5/5 — IF MOON IS YOUR THING THEN THIS DOES IT *2025-12-01, version 6.1.1* Its simple yet it gives you most of what you need to know about the moon. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
