    Perpetuum - Moon Phases

    by Longneck

    Perpetuum - Moon is yet another good option. Many people love the interface and design of this app. We found the app a little hard to understand. There are clearer ways to convey this information and we prefer the other apps to this one. That said, many people love this interface. Be sure to check out the free version of the app to see if this design is for you.

    Moonrise

    by AVIA

    Moonrise is a pretty good free app. There is iAd integration, which some may not like. Moonrise is a very basic app. It has things like the moon phases, quick access to the next full moon date, and the ability to look into the future as far as 2099. A decent app for those not wanting to spend some money.

    Luna ~ Phases of the Moon

    by Robert Yarbrough

    Luna ~ Phases of the Moon is an app to avoid for now. The font used in the app is simply a headache to read. It is too light and not clear enough. The other components of the app are just okay, nothing too stellar.
