Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Cancelled&Disputing

★ · v16.3.13 · Oct 12, 2026

Some how ended up subscribed to this. I really don’t know how. And $20 for what?? There is absolutely no way to contact this developer either.

app developer harnesses your power for their own manifestations

★ · v16.3.13 · Sep 26, 2026

You’ll get cryptic push notifications around full moon. I get the vibe that it’s a male behind this app. Deleted.

Hmmmm

★ · v16.3.13 · Jul 13, 2026

Didn’t turn out to be what I thought. I want to cancel my subscription.

Needs an Update

★★ · v16.3.13 · Jul 9, 2026

Started crashing today. Probably needs an update.

Ridiculous Questions

★ · v16.3.13 · Jun 17, 2026

I haven’t used this app in a while, opened it, and was confronted with a half dozen BS questions about “mindfulness”. Wtf!? This is a MOON PHASES app, these questions never used to exist, how off putting!

Confusing

★ · v16.3.13 · Apr 17, 2026

Confusing UI - goes too far on the make it simple thing. Moon phase in the app differs from their own website. Deleted the app.

Tracking and editing

★ · v16.3.13 · Apr 16, 2026

You are a weather app. WHY WOULD I EDIT THE DATA

Junk

★ · v16.3.13 · Mar 31, 2026

Can’t even move moon to see phase

Moon app

★ · v16.3.13 · Mar 3, 2026

Either I don’t know how to use this app or ai paid for a pic of the moon and its phase. Feeling ripped off

I HATE the notifications

★ · v16.3.13 · Jan 18, 2026

Other people have said this for years and yet I see that the weird push notifications still keep coming. I know I can turn these off, but I don’t understand why someone would even be writing them in the first place, much less deciding to hit “send.” Switching to Moonget, which also has a nice widget and minimal interface and doesn’t interrupt my day with “THE SAFE WORD IS YOGURT.”

Don’t get

★ · v16.3.13 · Jan 3, 2026

App does nothing. Waste of money. No lunar calendar. It just shows what is happening that day

Cancel

★ · v16.3.13 · Dec 31, 2025

Want to cancel my subscription and there is not an any contact info on app to cancel.

Stinks

★ · v16.3.13 · Nov 4, 2025

Doesn’t show you anything after asking a bunch of inane questions. It doesn’t even know the date. Used to be good.

Fraud

★ · v16.3.13 · Oct 23, 2025

Can’t find where to cancel this worthless app

Waste of money

★ · v16.3.13 · Oct 5, 2025

Does nothing but show you the moon on the day you choose. NOTHING else. Absolute waste of money. Poor excuse for an app in 2025.

8 million users? 8 million invalids!

★ · v16.3.13 · Sep 30, 2025

Unbelievable that this app tries to get you to subscribe. It's extra adorable that they think they can trick you into paying $19 by saying it's ".28 cents a week billed yearly" But I can see how this would work on the mentally deranged astrology chicks.

Tricked into buying pro. Can’t get refund.

★ · v16.3.13 · Sep 28, 2025

The sign in process to this app was misleading; I ended up spending 20 bucks for the pro app by accident. This has never happened to me before with an app. When I try to find a way to get a refund I get sent back to the app itself. Not good. Beware.

Doesn’t Work

★ · v16.3.13 · Aug 19, 2025

I would really love to have a refund for this app. I requested it from Apple but Sadly it was denied. App doesn’t give any information, Absolutely unsatisfied.

Keyboard to play music

★ · v16.3.13 · Aug 9, 2025

Randomly appeared and then disappeared. Have no clue how to get back to it.

Help

★ · v16.3.13 · Jul 28, 2025

I’m trying to subscribe to Moon Pro Yearly but I can’t get that plan to download. I’m very interested in getting that app. How can I get it? I tried to get help from the App Support. However it doesn’t seem to be working either.

Used to love this app

★★ · v16.3.13 · Jul 9, 2025

Used to love this app because you could tap the stars and it would make music but now that’s not an option?? Boooooo

Not Free

★ · v16.3.13 · Apr 14, 2025

This app is subscription in order to get the full features. All you get for free is just what phase the moon is in on a specific date. I do not recommend this app.

Weird notifications, way overpriced

★ · v16.3.13 · Apr 12, 2025

This just generates notifications, neat graphic, not sure why I installed. Apple has not responded to a refund request, sorry to say

Cant get rid of this

★ · v16.3.12 · Apr 4, 2025

For some reason there is no way to delete this app. Unlike all my other apps, this just gets removed from home screen but updates are still being sent. If I can’t get rid of it, it does not create a feeling of confidence if you know what I mean.

Awful scam scammers

★ · v16.3.5 · Feb 14, 2025

Absolute scam disgusting gross don’t do it

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
