Hold the Moon in your hands. Moon Globe turns your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad into a precision instrument for viewing Earths Moon. Satellite imagery and topographic laser altimeter data are combined to render the Moon with realistic lighting in realtime 3D.

Use the multitouch screen to manipulate the view. Spin above the surface, or switch to Telescope mode to see the Moon as it appears from your location on Earth. Adjust the display time and watch the sunlight shift over the lunar landscape. A "tag cloud" floats just above the surface, labeling terrain features and spacecraft; touch any label to find out more about that feature. Moon Globe also shows you where the Moon and Sun are in the sky with its dynamic sky compass.

This sophisticated astronomy simulation is FREE so that you can learn about Earths Moon and wow your friends with what your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad can do. For Moon Globe fans, Moon Globe HD is also available with twice the map resolution.

Pros and cons of Moon Globe app for iPhone and iPad

Moon Globe app good for

I like this app Whenever I want to know how is the moon right now I just open it All details are there But there is one thing missing to call it "perfect" : The hours of moon rise and moon set These data are necessary to sky lovers and dreamers who want to admire or shoot the moon I really miss this Please add it in a further update ! ;-) Congrats anyway Isa
Quite usable, only the polar areas might need some polishing.
Excellent! Worth buying an iPad just to be able to get this app.
So much to move the moon around, impressed the heck out of my science teacher!
Invaluable tool for anyone who has a telescope. Amazing app, nice, useful, immersive. Id give it 6 stars if I could! Cant believe its free.
Fantastic graphics. All the features you need, and more, for viewing the Moon. Its amazing that this program is free. Like looking thru binoculars. A must have for anyone interested in astronomy!!

Some bad moments

Mare Insularum, zoom in and you will see a crater named Reinhold, right of that you will find a long section that has been smudged out or covered by a dark box to be "cencored" ...strange? Look at it. Now if you ask your self why, you need to check out a documentry named "Moon rising" and it will help you understand the "why."
Tonight was super moon and total eclipse and this app was off by a huge margin. We were staring in complete wrong direction thanks to this app. Lame
You cant zoom in that well. You should be able to zoom in on the way. We all know theres better pictures with better resolution out there
This app is the worst app I have ever used, it isnt even fun like Flappy Bird or Schoology, not even able to write like in Notability. Terrible UI and no pay to win. Linear story line and no tutorial
There is a weird line thats blurred on the map, by Davisson and Nishina, makes the map very annoying
