Try the app now
Try this app right now on your computer. You control the app with your mouse and keyboard to experience it like you would on your phone. Test drive this app before you buy.
How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.
Test Drive TroubleshootingFollow the steps below to Test Drive this app in Chrome. These steps will disable the version of Flash included with Chrome and run Test Drive in a separate version of Flash.

Product Description
Product Description
The moon's image is specific to your time and place
When you open Moon Phase Pro, you see an image of the current moon, big and beautiful. This realistic simulation accurately depicts the phase, and crescent angle, as seen from your location. Near new moon, it even simulates earthshine on the dark side.
The app's main activity also shows key, current information about the moon: its phase percentage and name, the time until the nearest new and full moons, and the moon rise and set times bracketing the present. Everything is there, at a glance.
Finally, this view of the moon is fully interactive. Drag your finger over its surface and the lighted area moves with your touch; stop dragging, and the data fields update to indicate on what day the moon will look like what you see. You also can "spin" the shadow with your phone's trackball/touchpad, or go directly to a date and time of interest by direct entry. You can even change your "observer" location to see what the moon looks like from the other side of the world.
Calendar
Press Menu, open Moon Phase Pro's Calendar activity, and see the entire month's phases at once. The current day is highlighted, and the dates of major phases--full, new, and quarters--are outlined. For the big picture, tap any day and it will open full-screen in the main activity. You can also easily skip to another month by using the buttons in the title bar.
Data Page
For a complete set of details, open Moon Phase Pro's Data page, and see full astronomical data about the moon. There's even information about the sun included. It all updates automatically, in real time. Like the rest of the app, the Data page can easily be switched to show another day, or a different observer location on the Earth. Want to know when the moon will rise on New Year's Day in Fiji? No problem.
Home Screen Features
Moon Phase Pro's functionality isn't contained within the app itself. Three of its features can be added directly to your device's home screen:
- Twenty-four hours before each major phase, Moon Phase Pro will notify you that it's about to happen. Optionally, it can play your phone's default notification sound.
- Moon Phase Pro comes with four sizes of widget, from a tiny one the same size as a single shortcut up to a giant one that fills an entire home screen pane.
- Don't want to devote valuable home screen real estate to another widget? Moon Phase Pro comes with a live wallpaper, keeping an image of the current moon always in the background. If you have an older (or lower-spec) Android phone that doesn't support live wallpapers, Moon Phase Pro has wallpaper functionality of its own. It looks just like the "true" live wallpaper, and updates just as automatically, without you needing to upgrade your phone.

I opened this up because it was free and I scrolled through the calender and then to the right I saw another option and my mind went*pop* there is sunset moonrise and all other kinds of things on here that aren't just related to the moon but the rotation of night and day too

I have the NASA website bookmarked to monitor the phases of the moon. I can't believe a company would make an app like this. It's beautiful and made so well, I love it. I would like to see astrology data included.

Useless
Seemed like a waste of space on my phone before I deleted it. Even for free, it is not worth the phone memory space.

This app does not allow you to specify a location on a Kindle Fire.
This could be a great app if it worked. Using it on a Kindle Fire, the app won't let you put in a location. It's useless to me. Read more
