5/53D view crashes
Version 5.4 crashes every time I try use the 3D view on an iPhone 5s running iOS 9.3.5

Texas731 · 31 Jul 2026
5/5The gap explained.
Graham Dawson responded to my question about the gap in the moon's path shortly after I emailed Ajanware and his fast response was greatly appreciated. His email follows: "The sun travels very close to a full circle every 24 hours - not exactly, but close enough to make it look like a complete circle. On the other hand the moon travels typically less than 360 degrees during a day, although sometimes it may be more. The app shows the moon's path for one calendar day. If it travels less than 360deg then you will see a gap, where if it travels more than 360 you will see an overlapping section." Again, I appreciate the fast response and am happy to add the app as a compliment to Sun Seeker. It performs as advertised.

4/5Current Issue // Thinks Moon is about 90° Away
Currently says the moon is 90° or so away from its current position. Great app otherwise.

4/5Missing some functions
Missing some function from Sunseeker, like a time slider.

4/5Moon Seeker
It’s a fun app. Similar to Sun Seeker. Unfortunately the Grid in 3D view does not stay off. When reopening the app the Grid in 3D view reappears.

Versions

App Store

5.0
v5.0 * A MAJOR upgrade, with many enhancements, bringing the feature list up to same advanced level as Sun Seeker * You can now select any location, any date, and save locations to a list for easy re-selection * There is a new Map View allowing you to see lunar direction and elevation arrows overlaid onto any map location,and scroll through date and time * The 3D view now has date and time scrolling capability, and an advanced azimuth calibration feature
5.1
v5.1 * New improved date and time scroller, giving finer control and better visual feedback, in both Map View and 3D view. * Added 3D Touch menu items for iPhone 6S devices 1) 3D View 2) Map View 3) Lunar Phases * Fixes issue where timezone was occasionally missing after searching for and saving for a remote location from the built-in location database. * Other minor fixes and enhancements
5.2
v5.2 * The Map view now has a full compass mode, activated by tapping on the compass directions arrows at top right of the map view. Tap on the same arrows again to toggle back to a north-upwards fixed direction map. Alternatively, you can use a manual two-finger rotation gesture to set the map heading to any direction of your choosing. Tapping on the icon at top, left will toggle it back to north-upwards mode again. * Latitudes and longitudes may now be entered in decimal degrees, with optional hemisphere indicator i.e. N/S/E/W. If so, they are immediately auto-converted into d/m/s format. * Fixes bug in 3D view which caused the date/time to revert immediately to Now after user had selected new date to time.
5.3
v5.3 * Fixes compass icon rotation direction in map view
5.4
* Optimised for latest iOS updates and new iPhone form factors * Fixes issues with setting timezone for remote location

v5.6.2 * Addition of a new Settings option to display latitudes and longitudes in decimal degrees
5.7
v5.7 * Updated and optimised for iOS13. * The moon's current phase and visible physical orientation for your selected location is now depicted graphically in all relevant views of the app. * 3D View now offers a choice of camera lenses. Tap on the lens selection button at top/left of view to select an alternative lens. If your device has the new 0.5x ultra-wide lens (11 Pro) this is now the default selection, offering better viewing angles. * 3D View now allows immediate screenshot save via the camera toolbar button, in contrast to a new action toolbar button which offers various sharing destinations for the screenshot. * Includes several other smaller enhancements and bug fixes.
5.7.1
v5.7.1 * Fix for lunar phase image on flat compass being incorrectly oriented when compass rotates * Some cosmetic tweaks and minor bug fixes
5.7.2
v5.7.2 * Fixes a timezone related bug causing some rise/set times to be off by an hour. Sorry!
5.7.3

v5.8.3 * FIXED - If user had denied the app permission to save images to photos, then attempting to save 3D view image resulted in an obscure error message.
5.8.4
v5.8.4 * Even higher accuracy lunar calculations! * Some tweaks and optimisations for latest iOS releases
5.8.5
v5.8.5 * Fixes issue with missing location services permission on first install (sorry!) * Even higher accuracy lunar calculations! * Some tweaks and optimisations for latest iOS releases

5.9
v5.9 * Improved map search * Minor enhancements
5.9.1 · 22 Sep 2025
v5.9.1 * NEW - Lunar Phases tabulation now has an info button on rhs when there is an eclipse, and eclipse details are displayed in an alert view if tap on cell (same code to generate the eclipse description text as in Sun Seeker). * FIXED - Widgets now display legibly in tinted mode
