An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The idea is liked, a simple colorful moon-phase calendar with risings and settings, and it showed some people how much they did not know about the Moon. But the app fails at the basics, for many the calendar is consistently off by exactly one day and goes years unfixed, and location detection dumps you in Moscow with no way to set a place by hand. As a result the dates and rise times come out wrong.

Calendar consistently off by one day and unfixed for years, location dumps you in Moscow with no manual setting, rise and set times are wrong, the watch version is out of sync with the phone

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

The dates on the calendar are off by one day. I would think it's an easy update but there has not been one offered and I've had the app for at least 6 months. I'll be deleting this app and looking for another.
