No searching around for desired information. Great to have a photo for current moon view. Just download, open, and use. Good app for camping. ### 5/5 — FABULOUS!! *2017-05-09, version 1.9.1* This is a very simple moon app. It shows what the moon looks like for that particular day. You can flip backward & forward through the dates to see past & future dates. It lists the current date's phase & percentage visible, the date of the next full moon, & the date of the next new moon. SimpleMoon is exactly that... a simple moon app!!! This app was exactly what I was looking for, but when I first downloaded it onto my iPad, it wouldn't rotate. I use my iPad in the horizontal position, but this stayed in the vertical position, even when i turned it to the horizontal. I contacted TAG ALONG K, to see if I might be doing something wrong. I received a reply THAT DAY, saying that it did NOT rotate, but he could most likely change it so that it would, & he would keep me updated! Kyle was very professional & kind, & he really did keep me updated! Ten days later... it now rotates on iPads!!! YAY!!! Thank you so very much Kyle!!!!! Stellar job!!! Keep up the great work!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2017-01-31, version 1.9* Follow the moon phases day by day (easy to scroll to the phases of past and future dates, too). Elegant, simple. Just what I wanted! ### 5/5 — Less is More *2015-12-22, version 1.7* SimpleMoon is just what it claims to be, yet surprisingly compelling. When my daughter tells me to "ask your phone about the moon", out it comes. Especially useful on cloudy nights. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-11-28, version 1.6* Love this app! My kids are learning about the moon phases and this app has been great at keeping them engaged. ### 5/5 — ⚪️♻️⚫️ Very nice *2015-09-22, version 1.6* Being an ordinary lunatic just became next to impossible. With this great app I can anticipate my lunacy and maximize its potency with great efficiency. No more guessing why social tendencies and heightened emotions are trending anymore. Be aware of reality without ever having to go out at night with this app. ### 5/5 — Ok *2014-11-23, version 1.6* Good app ### 5/5 — Moon *2014-09-17, version 1.6* Awsome ### 4/5 — would like to be able to browse history *2013-05-25, version 1.2* It would be nice to be able to go back and see days past. Otherwise nice app. ### 5/5 — ...simply beautiful! *2013-04-06, version 1.2* Why aren't more apps this simple? You see a gorgeous rendition of the current phase of the moon. And you can see what to expect for the next couple days. Thank you for making this beautiful app available. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Moon *2014-02-24, version 1.6* Wright the date day time and location ### 1/5 — ugh.... *2013-07-05, version 1.2* I wouldn't waste your time if I were you. I triple checked and found out that the phases are NOT accurate. For example it could say Friday is a full moon when it's really a first quarter moon. ### 2/5 — No widget *2024-06-14, version 2.2* Without a widget you get mired in detail. No overview. ### 2/5 — Just does not work *2013-01-24* Didn't ask location. Displays (null)% and black moon. Moon outside is nice and almost full. ### 3/5 — Times, please! *2024-12-21, version 2.2.1* The moon’s rising and setting times need to be iNcluded on the "today” page! We shouldn’t have to purchase a separate app to get that iNfo, as well; if we did that, it would render your app, completely unnecessary bcoz who would have that iNfo w/o alsO having the phases iNfO! Other than that! iUse this app & ofteN depeNd upon it and love it that we can l👀k up other dates, sO thank you for what it does do… but we just need the times, too, plzzz! ### 4/5 — Why the Naked Women ? *2026-02-06, version 2.2.1* I loved this app. But recently photos of naked women are on it. At the bottom of the page. There doesn’t seem to be a way to X out of it. WHAT IS THIS ? ### 4/5 — Good, but a few suggestions. *2020-03-27, version 2.0* This is a “good” app, but what would make it “great” would be the ability to drag your finger across the screen to scroll forward and backwards through time. Also a nice touch would be if the app icon showed the current moon phase. Otherwise, nice app. ### 4/5 — 4 stars *2017-04-07, version 1.9* I love this app. But it has one flaw that I don't like. It doesn't have much of any thing on it. It only has the % the kind of moon it is and when the next full and new moon is. I mean it's ok and I don't want to be picky but I just don't like this feature. I hope you liked this review. ### 4/5 — love it!!! *2014-03-04, version 1.6* love it ### 4/5 — Great for teaching kids *2013-09-02, version 1.3* I'm using this as I homeschool my preschooler. We are keeping track of the moon's phases. My preschooler enjoys checking this app every day to find out which moon card to stick onto our wall. Thanks for creating a simple and beautiful app! As other reviewers have mentioned, I would appreciate being able to look at yesterday as well. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great reference *2026-04-20, version 2.2.1* Great site ### 5/5 — April 7,TH 2025 *2025-04-07, version 2.2.1* May 1,TH 2025 ### 5/5 — Finally, a simple moon app. *2023-02-24, version 2.1* Appropriately named. Nothing weird or unnecessary, easy to use, just shows you the phase of the moon on whatever date you wish. There are ads, but they aren’t super annoying or intrusive. Solid app, deleted others. ### 5/5 — Moonlighting *2022-10-16, version 2.1* Every night I have to see the moon I photograph it all the time this app lets me see where the moon is at all times. I go outside I always look up first at the sky every time I’m outside which is a lot. Danielle Jeanae ### 5/5 — Just the moon *2022-07-12* Just what I was looking for, a simple phase of the moon… very cool ### 5/5 — Lovely app *2022-03-16* Simple and efficient I’m very pleased with it . ### 5/5 — Love Simple Moon App *2021-10-02, version 2.0* I bought this years ago and still look at it all the time.

This app is really great! Thanks 🙏🏼 and keep up the good work!
