Ratings and reviews

I've been using this since there was only the option to change dates, and I've never had an issues. I just contacted them to help with something and they promptly and courteously assisted, as well. As a writer this is one of the best applications I could ask for, so guys definitely give this a try! It's worth it! If you're a writer especially, you won't regret it!

I used to love this app, when it worked. But I opened it after the last update, and it just stays on the same screen. It doesn't show the current moon phase, nor will it let me click anything else except for the calendar. Can't even click on the settings. I just bought the in app stuff, too.

It's ok, not very helpful if you don't have the paid version, and the payment options aren't very clear, do you have to pay per feature unlocked? Per month? Multiple prices but not very clear what your getting for each...

What's new

This version upgrades to latest Android APIs.

It also widens our definition of a supermoon so the second fullmoon of August 2024 is considered a supermoon. (There's no accepted scientific definition of a supermoon and it appears we were miserly in choosing ours.)
