Simple Moon Widget vs Plenilune

The app shows a real photo of the moon in its current phase as well as the dates of the next full and new moon and today's moonrise and moonset for your location. Add a small widget to your home screen with just the current moon, or add a medium widget that also shows the times and dates. Light and dark mode follow your phone's setting. No unnecessary features, just a simple app that works.

Plenilune shows the Moon as it is tonight: its phase is computed from its real position, then drawn like an engraving. I built it end to end with one idea: bringing together, in a single app, the precision of astronomy and the beauty of engravings. Version 2 puts the Moon back in the sky. Switch to Sky and it steps back among the constellations, with the sign it is crossing. Tap it and turn it with your finger to reach its far side, with the Earth and the Sun behind it. At night, hold your phone up: the viewfinder lines the drawing up with the real sky and leads you to the Moon. Moonrise and moonset times are computed offline for the place where you are, and so is the visibility of eclipses. And every morning, a moon story: a saying, a belief, a fact of astronomy. Day to day, Plenilune lives on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen through its widgets, now up to the extra large size. It can alert you when a full moon, a new moon or a quarter approaches. Any page can be shared as an image or a short clip, with the Moon drawn as it really is that night. Premium opens the full-screen Moon, the viewfinder and the calendar of every month from 1900 to 2100. It reveals the names and stories of the twelve traditional full moons, alerts you to rarer events such as eclipses, supermoons or the Moon changing sign, and adds inks for the app and its widgets, including one you mix yourself. This is how Plenilune can live without advertising.
