## Review summary

Users like the app for moon sighting information and praise its nice design, but repeatedly report serious reliability problems. The main pain points are notifications that don’t fire, connectivity errors, and incorrect or fixed local times due to poor location/time zone handling. Data is sometimes outdated (e.g., 2023 dates, wrong hemisphere), and bugs with performance and visuals persist. Improvements in time/location handling, data updates, stability, and notification reliability are needed.

### Pros

- Generally described as a nice/good app with useful moon sighting information.
- Fully customizable push notifications.
- Provides moon sighting information and related content.

### Cons

- Connectivity issues: frequent 'cannot connect to the internet' messages and networking problems.
- Poor time-zone/location handling: can't set location, local times are wrong, hemisphere issues.
- Notifications fail to trigger or deliver alerts.
- Data/content is outdated or inaccurate (e.g., 2023 dates or wrong hemisphere).
- Bugs, performance issues, and outdated visuals.
