The Moon: Calendar Moon Phases
doubtful ratingThe Moon is praised for showing the Moon's phase right in the center the moment you open it, which suits anglers and hunters who time things by the phase. But the app is going through a wave of technical trouble: for many it opens and closes within 1-3 seconds, it froze one person's iPhone solid, and the tides section greets you with odd text like 'woman cycles synchronized with solar tides, probably'.
Store 4.82 versus text 3.72 with 58% five-stars, yet a good half of the texts are about crashes and a frozen phone. The praise is specific (Moon centered on open, phases for fishing), but a mass of five-stars amid that many crash reports is hard to take at face value.
