Ratings and reviews

So very interesting and informative. Love this app. Learning something new every time I look at this app. Sharing the information is exciting and addictive. Thank you, Planet Finder

I watched and waited all weekend for the Full Blue moon this weekend. Then that night it is EXTREMELY cloudy. This app helped me locate the direction of the moon and wait til it came through. thank you for everything

very insightful. seems to be out of alignment, using the moon as a known basis. used it before and it was spot on.
