Desktop Moon App Reviews

The moon really looks great on my desktop :-) It shows fascinating details and the pictures are fantastic. If fully resized you can see the individual craters even better! The time-lapse-movie is also good fun, you can have a glimpse of the next full moon :-) I highly recommend this App not only to moonstruck people like me, but to every person who wants to have something beautiful and special on their screen!

I love it. Work great. The only thing I would love to add is the ability to lock it in place on the desktop (behing all windows).

this app is definitely awesome! still itll be better if i can have it full all the time.

Unfortunately I get a repeatable bug after awakening my Mac from sleep: Desktop Moon tells me it can’t autoupdate location’ and wants to keep sending me to The Security & Privacy pane in System Preferences in order to enable Location Services for the app… but the app had already been granted permission by me!

but I experience the same bug as Corvi. There is another bug: the moon’s northern pole keeps moving so the eastern side is closer to north. This makes the light/shadow areas irregular too. I will give it 5 starts when these are fixed.

A great app! Exactly what I wanted. The Moon on the screen is clear and bright and matches whatever phase it’s in at the time. My favorite way of using the app is centering the moon exactly in the middle of the iTunes Visualizer (running in ‘classic’ mode) when I’m listening to my music collection. I’m hoping Jörg will create an Earth app exactly like this one. I couldn’t find an Earth app that would let me place it on the iTunes Visualizer like Jörg’s app lets us do. I’m also hoping he’ll put together Sun, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune Apps as well.
