Can I see where the Moon will be at a future date and time?
Yes. Select any location, date, and time to preview the Moon’s position and path using the Moon Compass, Augmented Reality view, or 3D map. This makes it possible to plan observations and photographs in advance.
Is Moonlitt accurate?
Moonlitt uses astronomical calculations based on the location, date, and time you select. Results may still be affected by device settings, location precision, local terrain, buildings, weather, and atmospheric conditions, so the actual visibility of the Moon or an eclipse cannot be guaranteed.

Many of Moonlitt’s astronomical calculations and planning tools work offline, including Moon and eclipse data. Features that depend on online information, such as weather insights, may require an internet connection.
Is Moonlitt an astrology app?
Moonlitt is primarily an astronomy and Moon-tracking app. It focuses on astronomical information such as Moon phases, position, illumination, lunar events, and eclipses rather than horoscopes or astrological predictions.
Does Moonlitt contain ads or third-party tracking?
Moonlitt does not rely on advertising or third-party behavioral tracking. Location information is used when required to calculate local astronomical data and provide location-based features.
Is Moonlitt accessible with VoiceOver?
