Review summary

Users consistently praise the app’s simple, attractive moon widget and clear changing-phase visuals — it’s useful and does what it promises. Repeated complaints focus on widget reliability (not updating/working), the app feeling too basic or limited, and some aesthetic polish issues (corner styling, overall design). These are the most mentioned strengths and problems across reviews.

Simple and true to its description — easy to use and lightweight.
Provides clear moon-phase visuals (changing icon) that users like to place on their home screen.
Useful and informative — gives the basic moon information most users want.

Cons

Widget reliability issues — several users report the widget not updating or not working.
Too basic / limited features — a number of reviews say it lacks functionality or is overly simple.
Aesthetic shortcomings — some users want improved visual polish (rounded corners, more styling).

2024-11-29	Ke*****	10/7/14 I request to you that the moon shadow will be transparent to look like real when it is combined with the day/night live wallpaper. EDIT (11/29/24): The transparency option for setting a shaded part of the moon works really well; it looks good partnering with day/night/weather live wallpaper; even the other official version of the app is great! Im loving it!

2022-08-09	Se*****	What's new in 1.9.4: Added ads. 60% bigger with no improvements. Stuff like this is why I don't allow apps to auto-update. I guess I'll make sure I have a copy of the apk for 1.9.3 or earlier, and just use that for the rest of time. Is otherwise a decent app though, and I prefer it over its "successor" called Simple Moon Phase Calendar. Provides a nice moon widget, and that's all it needs to do.
