### 2/5 — Okay but it has issues.

*2019-12-08*

This app is okay, but it has issues. For instance, every month when the Moon is at 1st quartet, the rise and set times are not displayed.

### 4/5 — Works well.

*2016-02-25, version 1.9*

Drops a star because some days it doesn't show times.

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2013-12-07, version 1.8*

Se cierra enseguida

### 3/5 — Nice app did what i want only one flaw

*2013-07-08, version 1.8*

The date is set up YYYY-MM-DD & that is disconcerting when you're used to seeing it DD-MM-YYYY

### 1/5 — A dud

*2013-05-02, version 1.8*

Like other reviews also said, can't set your location. So it doesn't work at all.

### 1/5 — Mooning off!

*2013-04-21, version 1.8*

Crashes EVERY time I try to do anything, had it installed for about 6 months in the hope all gets sorted, but even with the latest iOS update still crashes constantly. Good idea - shame it doesn't work. :-(

### 1/5 — Would be a 5 star but crashes constantly

*2013-02-10, version 1.7*

Pretty much any feature of the app crashes. In theory is a good app but needs to sort itself out first.

### 2/5 — Cannot pin my location so app is worthless

*2013-01-16*

Worked well when I first got it. But somewhere along the line I lost my position information and can't pin my location now. Deleted and reloaded. Still no success. Also did an iPod reset but still not working. Thought about buying the Pro version but not until the free version works. Hope they fix it because when it worked it was a favorite of mine. Forget about support because it's all in another language.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-01-03, version 1.6*

I really love this app. It's simple and very pretty. Just what I was looking for :)

### 1/5 — Doesn't give times

*2012-12-13, version 1.6*

I tried to pin my location so I could get sun and moon times and it didn't work on iphone5.

### 1/5 — Two days out

*2024-09-19, version 2.0*

Its wrong by a few days?

### 1/5 — Sorry to give it only one star, but it’s wrong

*2022-09-11*

Sad, but true, the app is telling me the moon will be full on Monday, September 12, 2022 when it’s actually 100% full tonight, Saturday, September 10, 2022. Kind of defeats the purpose…

### 1/5 — App has wrong moon times 😳

*2020-10-01, version 2.0*

I’ve had this app for years, and have just realised tonight, on the night of the harvest moon, that this app is giving the wrong times for the moon. It’s telling me that the full moon isn’t for another 2 days, when it’s actually tonight. So basically this app has failed to deliver on its whole purpose.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2017-07-09*

And full of adverts.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2016-10-17, version 1.9*

Does not have moon rising and setting times and you cannot set your location. Basically a worthless app.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2016-09-16, version 1.9*

Earlier versions provided moon and sunrise/set but no longer. Just tells you the percentage of moon you will see. It's worth what you pay for it-nothing.

### 1/5 — Mike Delta

*2015-07-07, version 1.9*

What a hunk of junk! Deleted it within 60 seconds.

### 1/5 — Bob

*2014-10-08, version 1.9*

Have this app simply does not work on my iPhone 4s

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2014-09-16, version 1.9*

Apple should remove apps like these from the App Store so we don't have to waste our time dealing with them. This app is terrible in almost every way. At least it's free(I guess).

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2013-12-17, version 1.8*

Gives me the date and nothing else!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I like it

*2021-03-10, version 2.0*

It shows moon rise and moon set, sun rise and sun set, easy to change to the next day, between the two apps I have installed, this one is my favourite and to go to app to check the moon rise time when I want to go and watch it.

### 5/5 — Works great for me

*2019-11-23*

I use this app to see how much moon I will have for NVG flight operations.   It works perfect for my needs.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-02-18*

Awesome app and I love the different features.

### 5/5 — Simple, lightweight moonphase and sunrise app

*2016-09-01*

Clear, simple display.  Shows moon's phases as percentages and descriptions (ex. "Waning crescent, 6%), plus moonrise, moonset, sunrise, and sunset times, all on one screen. 

Easy interface to select another date or another location.  Date can be selected with arrow buttons or with YYYY-MM-DD rollers/sliders.  Tapping the date display once reverts to today's date. 

Turning the phone horizontally into landscape mode automatically shows the date and rise/set times for the next full moon, which is a nice touch.  Pretty moon and sun imagery also.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2014-12-31, version 1.9*

Loving this

### 5/5 — Excellent, simple moon tracker app!

*2014-09-22*

Works wonderfully, telling the exact percentage of moonphase and also Moonrise and Moon set. Tells you exactly to the minute when the moon is 100% full or 100% new, as well as the percentages of waxing and waning phases. A wonderful and simple, easy to use app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-07-29*

As a photographer who loves to take landscape photos at night, this app is incredible in allowing me to plan shots. Accurate and love it!

### 5/5 — Are you having trouble?

*2014-02-22*

At first I thought this app wasn't working. You need to go to your privacy setting at choose location services and turn on the app on. Then you can set your city and the times will appear. 
Now that I know how to turn in on properly, it looks like it's going to work well.

### 5/5 — Very helpful and accurate

*2013-10-19*

Provides sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset based on your location and date. Be sure to have location services turned on. Very flexible. Also indicates moon phases.

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-05-28, version 1.8*

Great
