Lunar Phases

Astronomy buffs and even photographers often wish to know more about the Moon’s phases and stage, but this info can be difficult to obtain from a single source, presented intuitively.

Lunar Phases is an interesting app that provides you with an impressive amount of data about the Moon, planets, the Sun and constellations, and it features a fairly intuitive layout, although the UI is showing its age.

When you launch the app, you will see that the main panel offers some brief details about the Moon, Earth and Sun, such as the sunrise and sunset time, Moon phase, age and stage. When it comes to the Moon, you can also view information about its state for the next seven days.

Lunar Phases also allows you to obtain details about the position and characteristics of the Moon and planets on specific dates, both in the past and future.

With this application, you can view information about all the planets in the solar system on a certain date, including their distance to Earth and phase.

For those who are interested in astrology, a detailed constellation chart is also included. You can set a specific time of day, select a precise date and even zoom in or out.

Novices should be able to get used to this application very quickly, as it is easy to navigate through the menus and find the info you need. It is even possible to set custom coordinates if you don’t want the app to get your location automatically.

The user interface is a bit out of date, and its layout could be improved in order to speed up navigation and make the app more visually appealing.

On the whole, Lunar Phases is a good choice for those who want to have quick access to useful info about the Moon’s phases, the Sun and planets. It is relatively outdated when it comes to looks, but it gets the job done.
