Moon Phase Gadget App Reviews

8 Customer Reviews:

nice little gadget, rather thorough about lunar facts (more than most other lunar calendars). I would only add void of course times to have a perfect little tool.

I keep this on my iMac desktop and its looks great. Well worth the price! PLEASE make a weather app like this too. Like your layout and design of this. It would look amazing next to this app ;)

I first came across the program by Lifeware on my iPhone. Liked it so much I wanted the same on my macbook, and I get all the information on the two smaller gadget windows. I would give them 5 stars but I was actually hoping the app would run without showing up in the dock. Thats only because I tend to hit it by accident since I always have so many other programs running all day. With that said, superb work all around!

Feature wise and appearance wise it is great. I really like the app and would love to keep it running all the time. Unfortunately, it has a memory leak that they have never fixed. It was a severe problem before I upgraded to 16 GB and less so now. But the author should really fix that leak: It starts out at 135 MB, then climbs in over a week to 1.5 GB. I would give it 5 stars if he would fix this.

I loved this app. I was looking for a simple app that would tell me the signs the Sun and Moon are in, and this app seemed to do it perfectly. Today is the day of the spring equinox, when the Sun enters Aries. Im sorry to find that Moon Phase Gadget still shows the Sun being in Pisces, even though the Sun entered Aries early this morning and now its after 5 p.m. The appearance of the app is very good, but since discovering the apps inaccuracy, I know I cant count on the app to always show the correct sign. Disappointing! If this gets fixed, Ill be happy to re-review it.

Excellent app! I dont hesitate giving this app five stars! The only thing I could find wrong? The app was not available a few years ago! With Moon Face Gadget its best to spell Gadget / Gad "Get".

I live in the US but want to check the rising and setting times of the Moon in Chile, in the settings I wrote the Lat / Long of the city in Chile also the UTC offset for Chile however there is no way I can get the times for Chile I always get it for my home town, obviously setting the country, UTC offset and Lat / Long are useless. I do not recommend this software if you want to check the times in other place than where you live.

it does not work well · 12 years ago

The application works well and looks nice, however when closing the settings panel it does not actually close; it drops to what looks like 100% transparency but is still visible over other open windows as a clear window. Closing the application and re-opening it corrects this. Also this application does not seem to use the system preferences for formatting dates or times, it defaults to European standard date format and it can not be changed. Please fix this issue….

Can not close

shows a popup screen asking for a 5 star rating and will not close. Clearly sloppy design.

Wrong!

Can’t trust the constellations. At this moment, the Moon is in Virgo and the Sun is in Leo. This says the Moon is in Libra and the Sun is in Virgo. Wrong!

Practically perfect

Small, simple and sits on my desktop for easy access. It's been very helpfull many times in the past an present and I'am sure this app will be there in the future too!

I *thought* this was a really good app ...

Excellent app, but a memory leak eventually gets you
