Ratings and reviews

This moon phase app is reliable, and I've been using it for several years now. It's probably not the most feature rich when compared to some others in the Play store, but it does the job well as advertised, and there's hardly any ads. Just a small banner at the bottom of the screen when you open the app. The widget is good. Only one other thing I wished it had was an option to show a moon phase indicator using colors in the status bar. But haven't found any similar type app having one either.

Very cool app. Works perfectly, no issues, widget is great! Recently I became interested in vedic astrology and it would be great to be able to adjust the zodiac sign shown in the app so it is based on the sidereal zodiac, as an option (it would just involve adding a fixed offset in the calculation of where the moon is on the elliptic) 🙏 Then the sign shown would match the moon's actual position in the night sky, as well.

I was loving it until recently the Moon phase widget no longer updates. This change occurred without my changing any battery saving settings (I checked the support recommendations in the app) nor a change of OS. I now use a workaround of opening up the app's settings, opening the widget settings and then closing. When I return to the widget it has updated. AMEND: I've been using the current version on a pixel 3a Android 9.
