Moon. app, a selenometric chronograph

Weve been using this wonderful, solid app for far longer than Id care to admit to aid in TST calculations, for estimating both lunar illumination and shear. Though of course not as effective as a dedicated programme, its ability to quickly calculate launch and target lunar distance and angle, while imprecise and challenging to use -- and apparently, very unfortunately not fully implemented on the iPhone for arbitrary time calculations -- has been extremely handy and invaluable in a pinch. Just downloaded this app again under another app store account, with hope and some concern. Fortunately, it currently seems to still be operating OK for us at the moment, tested 5 by 5 on an iPad mini 2 under iOS 9, an iPhone 5s (utilizes the full 4"/10 cm display) under iOS 8, and an antique original iPad under iOS 5. Those having difficulty with previous installations, may wish to try deleting and reinstalling the app. This app currently displays on the iPhone in portrait orientation only (Hint: swipe to the left, and tap "Add"), with banner ads at the top of the display. But, no ads on the iPads, fortunately. Agree with other reviewers assessments. Unfortunately, this currently free app, Moon., is far superior to older, paid, more neglected Moon+ version in its current state. This Moon. app itself could really use some love. We certainly love it here. Would definitely pay for an updated version of Moon., without distracting ads which add glare and local light pollution, and preferably without adding any in-app purchases. That alone would be 5 stars. To a casual user, the lunar eclipse dates may not be readily evident at first. Event times, etc., only display transiently in this app, which makes it difficult to note and record them. Strongly recommend practicing with this app before attempting to utilize it under pressure. Unfortunately, as this app currently stands, thats ideally a two person operation in the field. Very much wish this app would also directly provide lunar transit times, rather than having to estimate from rise and set times. Lunar antitransit times would be nice as well. Solar data, including, in order of increasing importance, the closest sunrise and sunset times directly with respect to lunar event times, solar transit and antitransit times, solar angles, and solar distance, would take the cake. Regardless, much thanks to the developer. We owe you a pint.
