User reviews

Great for moon watchers

I use this to remember when to go out and watch the moonrise. The weather data is super helpful.

Love it!

Beautifully designed. Highly recommended!

Made me want to watch the moon

I love how simple this makes it to find a good moonrise. It’s the kind of app that makes you actually want to step outside and enjoy the moment

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your review. I'm so glad you're enjoying the app! I find that it also helps remind me to get out and see the moon more often. I've gotten some really good photos because the reminders help me get out at the right time to see the moon when it's large on the horizon. I hope you keep enjoying it and please reach out if you have any questions.

Really useful

This app is cool. I used to check Apple weather to see moon status but I never knew what direction to look and I often forgot to look for the moon until it was too late. I like that this app notifies me when the weather is good for watching a moonrise!
