Ephemeris Reviews

Making you accept auto subscription to try is a shady business practice. Shame on you. Good apps speak for themselves in the trial period and create loyal customers. If you make trial auto payment obviously you can’t keep subscriptions based on the merit of your product.

I just purchased, thinking once I paid that a map view would be available. As best I can tell it is not. I was looking for Photographers this app, which can be used to plan where to be when the moon or sun rises using a map based system. I’d like a refund.

I enabled notifications so I could get notified of reminders I set up about sun position etc, but it’s sending me push notifications about Jeff Bezos. If it’s possible to disable these, they bury the setting somewhere deep in Ephemeris .

Just read the other reviews, the 5-star rating here seems like it must be someone promoting it for the company instead of an honest review.

$0.99 a month or $9.99 for full access seems pretty excessive for finding the position of the moon and sun in the sky at a particular time. There are numerous websites that do this for free, and they are less complicated.

Just my own opinion, make your own call.

Just not easy to really see the Sun and moon, with way it is on a phone app maybe. But wanted to see the way Sun and moon would show here In Michigan sky and what time. Doesn’t really give a tool user guide so just winging it won’t need for even my other photos bummed because I absolutely love their other Apps!

I cannot even start using Ephemeris without beginning a trial - this doesn’t allow me an opportunity to check out how Ephemeris works without beginning a subscription, which is a bummer because it suggests that it could be a good solution to what I need. SolarWatch seems to be a better option.

2 stars, because of portrait mode only. Well, that’s how it initially opens up, and first selections (allow location and notifications) are oriented. Since it wouldn’t switch to landscape mode during initial setup, I deleted Ephemeris . Come on developers, to do this sort of app in portrait mode only, in the age of tablets, is archaic.

The data is very useful and presented reasonably well— the compass especially. The UI is not intuitive, with no great way to switch between different views; swipes work on some screens but not others. But by far the most annoying are the constant notifications for other apps by the developer. One of the key features of Ephemeris is setting alarms for certain positions of moon/sun/Milky Way, but the only recommendation from the developer to avoid these ads is to turn off ALL notifications, which includes the ones you set. This is the paid version! The cost of admission should include the ability to avoid spam.

I really like Ephemeris . It gives me notifications for astronomical events. I used to be able to see write-ups about the notifications but recently the ability to find those write-ups disappeared. I don't know why that happened but it makes the notifications useless. If not for that Id have given 5stars

I love Ephemeris! One star off for installing on my OSX devices, but not working corrrectly becuase it does not support keyboard input. Would be great if it did.

I love Ephemeris so accurate and informative!!

Ephemeris is amazing, use every day..

We live in a world of man-made time that sorta correlates to nature? Once upon a time we kept time by the sun and moon and seasons…we were also much more self-aware! Technology is nice, but it’s not everything. Use Ephemeris as the ancients used sun dials and the equinoxes to keep track of “time”

Finally a good freemium sun and moon tracker for hobbyists and professionals alike! I appreciate the affordable pricing and good features at any price tier! Keep going.

For a définîtes location location data is clear.

I used it to plant 8 fruit trees on my property and was able to pick the best locations based on sunlight throughout the year. Thank you so much for Ephemeris!!!

I’ve been wanting to find the best time to take photos and Ephemeris is very helpful but my only question is can you take photos and if so how?

Thank you so much for making a great sun and moon tracking app without having a subscription attached to it just to get all the features. Ephemeris has an amazing ui and super user friendly. You all are amazing

I just redownloaded after I got an email and I didn’t notice I have to click on the X mark. Using it as old school just basic I would love to download the flat earth but $10 for an app ridiculous. hopefully a company can create one , Hint Hint.

10 bucks for an app is off-putting at first, but Ephemeris is the most polished of all trackers of the sun and moon available on Ephemeris Store.
