Provides a list of LUNAR PHASES, a CALENDAR view, a FLAT VIEW COMPASS, a MAP VIEW and an AUGMENTED REALITY CAMERA 3-D VIEW showing the lunar path and its hour intervals.
* Ideal for photographers and anyone involved in outdoor nighttime activities.
* Great for planning optimal light conditions.
Note - if you are interested in daytime light conditions, please look at the "Sun Seeker" app, which provides related functionality for the sun.
Main Features
* Uses GPS and magnetometer to find the correct lunar position and path for your current location, or for any location on earth
* Flat compass view showing current lunar position, diurnal lunar angle and elevation (separated into above and bow horizon segments)
* 3D augmented reality camera overlay view showing the moons current position, its path with hour points marked
* Map view showing lunar light direction and elevation at all hours, for any location, scrollable for any date and time
* Ability to choose any date and view lunar path for that day
Notes
* The compass accuracy depends on having an undistorted magnetic field around your device. If you use it close to metallic objects or electrical equipment, directional accuracy may be impaired.
Pros and cons of Moon Seeker app for iPhone and iPad
Moon Seeker app good for
There is two positions for mid night. Which create a gap on the display.
Please correct it.
This is a good app, keep it like that. Thanks
Graham Dawson responded to my question about the gap in the moons 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 moons 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.
Great companion app to Sun Seeker! I really wonder what took me so long to find it. Would love an iOS 7 style update!
When I originally bought the "Sun Seeker" app I loved it so much I bought the Moon Seeker app as well. I was a little disappointed with Moon Seeker compared to Sun Seeker. This new update changed all that. Now its AWESOME! This is a SWEET UPDATE!!! : ) Please keep making more positive updates and Ill keep telling my friends to buy this app! : )
The app is pretty good, but I bought it specifically because of the 3D compass view. When I tried to use that feature, it said it couldnt do it because my device didnt have a compass. Is there any way to fix that? Or do I just have to get a new device?
Some bad moments
Sunseeker Works Great, not moonseeker. I hope update will fix compass inaccuracy.
Moon jumps around and wonders off even when not moving the phone. The 3D compass, what I purchased this for, is worthless. Do as many figure 8s as you want.
After installing the companion Sun Seeker app, I found Moon Seeker and eagerly installed it. What a disappointment.
Where the compass feature works great in Sun Seeker, it completely fails to work in Moon Seeker. It lags, does not accurately show the moons position, and I cant even use the feature to see where the moon will be at a certain time.
I was VERY disappointed. I can only hope an upgrade will remedy the issues. Until then, DONT EVEN BOTHER with this app.
This app does not let you set other locations. It wont let you set or display map locations. Do not buy until this is fixed.
Usually Moon Seeker iOS app used & searched for
light seekers,
ozpda,
and other. So, download free Moon Seeker .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
