Perfect!
Works well, love seeing the different phases of the moon.
Perfect!
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.
Doesn’t perform as described.
No control over any feature, despite description. Installed it on MacBookPro (new!) Disappointed.
I like the idea very much
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.
Beautiful addition to my day
Love the implementation. Here's a feature suggestion. Would love to have the option for the dark portion of the moon to be transparent (as it appears in the sky) rather than black. Not sure how hard that would be to implement at the edges of the shadow, but would look amazing on Microsoft's "Solar Gradients" Dynamic Desktop (and others I'm sure).
