Pros and cons of Mooncast app for iPhone and iPad

Mooncast app good for

I thought that I would see in the background images for my iPhone as the moon phases. Is it possible?
Very nice app. I like taking pictures of the moon, so this app helps me know when the moon is full a day ahead. Good work, thank you
I love this app! You dont need Internet to access it which is soo helpful!
This is my first time. It seems pretty interesting so far. I think I will b tuning in. Lugaaar !!! ...
This is not a terribly informative app, but does what it says. It is fun to watch the moons illumination percentage change and be reflected on the iPad. I love to know when the next full or new moon is, so this is helpful even though it doesnt specialize in new moon info- I just need to look for 0% illumination. You can also go forward or backward in time to see what the moon was like on a particular day which I love to do too. Cool app overall, thanks.
Love quickly being able to look up what moons going to look like on future dates! Super functional, product as promised. Merci! ;)

Some bad moments

How can this app be precise if you cannot input your location and time?
Does what it says, no more, no less. Go with a free app instead
Theres not a single lunar app on the App Store that pushes reminders at the exact start and end time of a lunar phase and this app is no exception. Review will be updated to 5 stars once I have the ability to schedule alarms for the start and end of specific lunar cycles. For example if the start of a full moon is at 4:09PM an alarm should sound. The user should be able to stipulate what events they receive notifications for. For example full moon, new moon, blue moon, black moon etcetera. Currently this app only allows the user to select what time on the day of a full moon they receive an alert. For example on the day of a full moon starts at 5:11PM the user would receive a notification at 9:00AM or any other time the user selects. Why not have a setting that is for "full moon start" and another for "full moon end". Have that option for all phases so the user can select which phases they want to be notified for. If your going to make such a specific app why not make it the best... Design and layout is perfect but looks arent worth a damn without functionality.
Bella limmagine, ma povera di informazioni, specialmente tenendo conto che non é gratuita. Non da nemmeno gli orari di quando sorge e tramonta. Nice image, but too little information, especially since it is not free. It does not even tell you when the moon comes un and when it goes down.
So glad I stumbled upon this app! Thank you for the simplicity and straight forward functionality. Great job!
My apologies for earlier negative review, messed up my math lol.
