JupiterMoons App Reviews

This is an awesome idea for an app. No more reading a chart in Sky&Tel for me. Graphics are fantastic and very intuitive UI. One thing I'd like to see if a notification option to select certain types of events to be notified on my device.

I look at Jupiter through my telescope every night I can. This app quickly and smoothly shows me the info I need. Ditto on the previous poster's request for a notification feature, but still worth 5 stars.

Love love LOVE this app. While Jupiter's gracing our skies for the season this app will be a constant reference. I used to use the website but now, at a glance, I can find moon, moon shadow and GRS transits at a glance - and not even have to convert from UT!! With the ability to move back and forth in time, both in large and small increments, I can plan my astrophotography sessions or check which moons I captured.

I volunteer at two public observatories. It is very useful to be able to show the visitors the configuration of the moons while they are near the eyepiece

I only wish it had one more zoom level. Sometimes the transiting shadow is too small to see on my iPhone screen.

The only thing this app is missing is the info telling you when Jupiter rises & sets for your location.

Last night this app proved to be very effective. I was viewing a shadow transit across Jupiter when I spotted what I suspected was the GRS, so I then opened the Jupiter's Moons App and it immediately confirmed my sighting.

I've been using the on-line version for years and a bit disappointed we are nickel and dimed into paying for this. One glaring omission is an option to enter another time or date manually, instead of tapping, tapping at minute and hour intervals to get other dates and times.

This app often has bad data concerning multi moon transits and moon shadow transits.

I love this app, but I can’t use it now that I have an iPhone X. Until they update this don’t try to use this with an iPhone X — you can’t get back out of it.

This WOULD be a good app if it let you set your own time, rather than going off UT. Because that’s a 7 hour difference, when it gives me “today’s” events, it’s useless to me because technically anything I’m going to look at tonight is “tomorrow” according to the app. But you can’t switch to any date other than today on the “Events” page (if I’m wrong, please someone show me how!). You can move back and forth in time on the chart page, but not the event page, which is the page that would actually

The only knock on this app is that the wide-angle view does not allow sufficient room for Callisto much of the time.

When the sky is clear I shoot photos of Jupiter, but have no idea which moon is where. This app helps me figure it out. It also helps me plan ahead to see if I can capture the great red Spot that night. Highly recommended for anyone who does planetary photography.

This app is disappointing in how little it does. Besides the main display of Jupiter and its four visible moons' positions, it has very brief descriptions and a few photos of the planet and the four moons. It is far from a complete reference on Jupiter. For example, it mentions the fact that Jupiter has more than 60 moons, but contains no other information about them. Compared to other full featured astronomy apps like Star Walk, Safari Pro, or Luminos, each of which costs only a few dollars mo
