New Updates for our Mobile App: Phases of the Moon

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we've released several updates for both the

Android

and

iPhone

versions of the Universe Today mobile app: Phases of the Moon.

This is our handy mobile app that shows you a photorealistic view of the Moon's current phase. You can seek forward and backwards in time, and drag the phases of the Moon around like you're spinning a ball.

It's both beautiful, and functional, and we're really happy with it. And the people who have purchased the app on the Google Play store are really happy too. Check out the average 4.9 star ratings.

What's New on Android

On

Android

, we've added several features, like Moon rise/set times, the distance to the Moon, updated second by second, and the ability to seek the next full Moon/new Moon. We've got a cool desktop widget and the ability to rotate into landscape mode.

What's New on iPhones

For

iPhones

, we've completely rebuilt the app from scratch in native C code for iOS. This was an enormous amount of work, but it's totally worth it.

Just like the

Android version

, you can drag the Moon's terminator back and forth, pulling it through its phases. It's useful - and cool. The

iPhone version

also has a monthly calendar view, and more.

Where you can buy it

The app is only $.99 on both the

Google Play store

or the

iTunes store

and is compatible with every device we've been able to get our hands on.

If you want to support Universe Today, buy a copy of our app, and tell your friends, it'll really help us out.

P.S. We've got an iPad version in development too, which should be available in a few weeks.
