### 2/5 — Crushes

*2026-06-13, version 3.1.1*

Had the app for six years. Recently it keeps crashing “subscription error, no products found”. Also on the description it says it’s sharable in family but it is not. It messed up family members’ paid subscription too.

### 2/5 — Rising sign is wrong now

*2026-03-21, version 3.1.1*

At one time it was correct, Libra rising, changed itself to Virgo rising.

### 4/5 — No Zoom on Calendar?

*2026-02-15, version 3.1.1*

I do love your app. It's is so very helpful for laying out my monthly ritual calendar. I  appreciate being able to understand all of the planetary positioning when I write in my monthly new moon journal, and the astrological takes are often poignant in my life. 

So why four stars only? It's because of the inaccessibility of the lunar calendar. I get that sometimes available space influences the graphics final rendering and creates  difficult decisions to use smaller font fixes -- I'm a web and graphic designer as well -- but to not include the standard "pinch to zoom" feature so widely used in touch screen devices is purely frustrating. In my current workflow, I typically snap a shot of the calendar and zoom in there to see the dates. Wearing my glasses does not help. This is less than ideal for a number of reasons. 

I have been subscribing for a few years now, and have kept hoping you would institute this most basic of features. My design aesthetic is accessibility first. I would very much appreciate it if there was a way for the Moon Calendar to institute a similar protocol.

Thank you so much for listening. I really do enjoy your app. I appreciate all the work you've done to make it what it is so far.

### 3/5 — Canceled Subscription

*2026-01-18, version 3.1.0*

Downloaded the app and it has sun, moon and ascending info. 
So I paid the yearly subscription of about $5. When entering in information to get info on my sun, moon and ascending, it said I didn’t have subscription and to pay another $5. However, I know I have the subscription because Apple subscriptions are showing I paid and basic app features with getting subscription is present. CANCELED SUBSCRIPTION.

### 2/5 — better before

*2026-01-13, version 3.1.0*

I loved this app last year when it would give a synopsis on your moon and sun as well as rituals which included recipes for different things and how different planets affect areas of your body. But it now seems like they've gotten rid of those areas for the free trial and only leave you with your moon and sun synopsis. very sad to see. will be deleting soon as i can get a horoscope from any other app.

### 3/5 — 2026 change?

*2026-01-07, version 3.1.0*

What happened to all the content? It’s been reduced to  Sun and Moon reading. Is this temporary?

### 2/5 — Pay wall

*2025-11-26, version 3.1.0*

Cant do nothin!

### 5/5 — R

*2025-10-01, version 3.0.9*

Beautifully crafted, great interface, well priced, 5/5

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2025-08-23, version 3.0.8*

Used to love this app, as it would notify me of the moon cycle dates and times but it has been three months now and I don’t receive notifications anymore but I have paid my subscription

### 5/5 — The best astrology app

*2025-07-23, version 3.0.8*

I can’t believe this app doesn’t have more reviews! it’s honestly so well thought out, with customized horoscopes and lots of extra content, like a mini grimoire. Love it!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Is it disabled

*2026-05-31, version 3.1.1*

Clicked icon and won’t even open. Shows a big moon and then vanishes. 🌚

### 1/5 — What the heck?

*2026-04-10, version 3.1.1*

Today’s horoscope: “If there is something you wish to learn, try an online platform rather than a book. Technology is your friend. Resurrect that old workshop you have not had time for. Dust off that trusty notebook of yours. Take your education seriously, just for today. There is more to learn than you realize. Enlist a romantic study buddy.”  

Technology is my friend (not books) but I should dust off my “trusty notebook.” Enlist a “romantic study buddy” because we all know how effective that is for learning. Seriously, did AI write this?

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2026-03-10, version 3.1.1*

Every tab you click you will get a subscription ad and a lot you can not access without it.

### 1/5 — Charges multiple times a year $15.99

*2026-03-05, version 3.1.1*

I have 2 total subscriptions on Apple, this app and Crunchyroll. While I did agreed to the $4.99/year, this app will randomly charge you $14.99 for no reason.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-12-03, version 3.1.0*

Update: I don’t get the moon phase notifications, despite the notifications being toggled on.

First, it needs to make it clearer which phase the moon is in. I feel I have to hunt to find it. Second, I clicked the free 7 day trial and two seconds later they charged me the subscription fee. Definitely not okay.

### 1/5 — Why send notifications AFTER an event instead of before, when it would be useful?

*2025-11-20, version 3.1.0*

Got this so I could get notifications when a new moon, full moon, etc. was coming. Instead it only sends you notifications after they’ve already passed. Seems kinda useless to me.

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2025-10-13, version 3.0.9*

Literally can’t do a single thing in this app without paying for it. Why even set it as free on the App Store if you’re going to just charge to do anything. Lame

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2025-09-28, version 3.0.8*

I have had this app for a long time and I loved it. I bought the subscription. In the last few weeks there’s been a bug that won’t let me even open the app. It kicks me out as soon as I open the app. Honestly I want my money back because this app is useless if it won’t even open. I’ve deleted and updated it and nothing has fixed the problem.

### 1/5 — Weeks of no horoscope or personal report; reported but not fixed

*2025-09-27, version 3.0.8*

I loved this app for a long time but over the last few months, it’s been consistently glitching so that I get no personalized information- no horoscopes or personal report when there it’s reading sun or ascendant. I’ve reached out to the developer several times and they have politely provided fixes. However, the fixes aren’t permanent and they include me deleting the app, logging out of my phone, turning it off, logging back on and reinstalling the app and setting everything up again. Only to have it do the same thing a few days later. I’m not doing this every time the app messes up. It’s clearly not being fixed. If I’m expected to do this every time the app messes up (which I can pretty much count on at this point), no thank you! Subscription canceled.

### 1/5 — Unusable.

*2025-09-09, version 3.0.8*

Can't view anything now without the subscription pop up. I used to be able to see rituals and a few other areas of the app but now I'm only restricted to the daily page.

### 5/5 — Impressively accurate

*2026-09-02, version 3.1.1*

I’ve been a nerdy Astro girly since the beginning of time. Not surprised how popular it has become but now there are almost too many apps that it can be overwhelming to choose from. The Moon Calendar is one of the BEST though! I’ve been on this app for years and it is extremely on point around the energies. I love how it gives you so many options to cater to your own curiosity and timeline, I.e. it’s sun sign or ascendent horoscopes, in settings.  I also love the organization and journal areas for rituals and vibe checks. But I think my favorite aspect is the feeling of uniqueness and intimacy it gives. It reminds me where I’m at, which side of the coins I can focus on and doesn’t have any comparison of anyone else like friends and family. It’s JUST for my eyes and my eyes alone ❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Loony, Tunes.

*2026-08-26, version 3.1.1*

🌚 Helps me better dance with the Moon 🌙 Keeps me in tune! Thank you, calendar de Lune 🌝

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-13, version 3.1.1*

Exactly what you would expect. I’ve had this app for a long time, it is so straightforward and helpful to keep track of the moon. 

Also customer service/support is superb. I really appreciate the consistency and the vibe! Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — daily and weekly horoscopes are wonderful!

*2026-04-09, version 3.1.1*

I wish I could give whoever writes the horoscopes a hug! they're always so insightful and lovely

### 5/5 — Rising sign is wrong now

*2026-04-02, version 3.1.1*

At one time it was correct, Libra rising, changed itself to Virgo rising.
I received an email with the fix (re entered my birth information… I probably should have thought of that) and have changed my review. I’ve been using this app for years and it’s great!

### 5/5 — Love it with one request!

*2026-01-23, version 3.1.0*

This is one of my favorite apps and I tell all of my friends and Clients about it. Everything is so beautiful and enlightening.  The only request I have for the creators is to have the ability to see your sun, moon, and ascending signs on one page instead of having to change the setting between sun and ascending.   Thank you! 🌑

### 5/5 — Great affect on my life

*2026-01-07, version 3.1.0*

I have dabbled in a number of moony/astrologicy/witchy apps and this one is my favorite. I enjoy the horoscopes, moon phases, astrology sign, and the houses as daily information to look at. This app has also had a huge role in getting me to build my practice because of all the tools and rituals it has. I can’t say enough good things.

EDIT: I want to add another great feature. With the new year, the moon calendar was a little off and I wasn’t getting all the information for the day. In the help section it has an option to reset the calendar and now everything I was missing is there. It was such a simple fix once I took the time to solve the problem.

### 5/5 — Update makes it useless

*2026-01-02, version 3.1.0*

Used to love this app but every feature is blocked by a paywall now

### 5/5 — The Moon Calendar

*2025-11-06, version 3.1.0*

This is very helpful tool to keeping me on track in my daily life.  I use astrology and often take photos of the moon.  I will be sharing this encouraging and educational tool with others.  Thank you very much Laura Haworth.🪷

### 5/5 — Great affect on my life
