Moonly: Moon Phases & Calendar Reviews

by BekkiMaz579

I was very excited reading about and downloading Moonly (knowing there were some components I could choose to purchase) and using it as a key tool in my journey towards peace and spirituality (as advertised) and it offers everything I am looking for...except you only get access to a bare-bones daily lunar calendar/horoscope...? The free options are so limited that you can’t even tell what you would be paying for should you chose to do so. Why would I blindly pay for something so vague that I can’t even take for a test drive? I might even go so far as to say it was borderline false advertising...

Everything that drew me to Moonly is completely inaccessible without coughing up the dough... Ironic considering the nature of Moonly is advertised as a tool to grow and better your life and spirituality in all aspects, and center yourself around the basics.

I was really looking forward to using Moonly, but I’ve already experienced so much disappointment and frustration with it that I will be deleting it altogether.

Such a disappointment...self-help tools should be accessible and geared towards *actually helping people*... Moonly is just a money-grab. Major thumbs down. Boo 👎🏻

Moonly requires a subscription but isn’t very interactive, which is incredibly frustrating. I thought it would have writing prompts, and other helpful tools to help in the educational tools they have on here. They definitely do not. It’s a lot like clicking through someone’s instagram story, but the grammar isn’t always the best. The meditations are okay, and the rune learning tool I have found somewhat helpful, but the downsides to the rest of Moonly really bring down it’s quality. You can’t switch from sidereal to tropical astrology, and it’s difficult to catch up with the terminology in sidereal when that’s not what you’re used to. I do hope they add more interactive features because Moonly is not worth the subscription price

Much of this information comes from the ancient practices of Africans and other indigenous peoples. This isn’t new age for us. “Shadow work” is root work.

We are not given credit - as usual- as our cultural practices are rebranded and sold to the white masses.

Nor will you see our images within Moonly. There’s an OVERWHELMING amount of white imagery in Moonly which is very off- putting and doesn’t at all feel inclusive.

I am tired of spiritual spaces still reeking of white supremacy via cultural appropriation and erasure of Black and indigenous cultures and customs.

I would love to love Moonly. I’m sure most white ppl or others conditioned to ignore these issues or those who don’t know these issues WILL love Moonly.

But I’m traumatized by how the practices that my ancestors were KILLED for can be rebranded by white ppl and praised AND while excluding my ancestors from this altogether.

Just like how white ppl did with yoga. And Swing Dancing and Rock and Roll and CornRows and …

For once, give credit where credit is due. And find pictures of non white women. They’re all over the internet!

Listen, I’m a cis female, but if someone wasn’t cis-het who is using Moonly - they may not get much from it. A lot of rather dated information about what is different about men and women. For example, “the secret for women is to appeal to their feminine side and be filled with deep femininity, learn to love, accept, and understand themselves first.” I understand historically much of this comes from the Devine feminine, but here’s another example, “men are able to find a source of energy primarily in physical recreation, sports, proper diet and self-fulfillment in a suitable field.” Really?! It all just seems stuck on traditional ideals of what men and women should be or should do. I can’t imagine being a non-binary person using Moonly, not much would be for me. It’s 2022, I think we can move away from stereotypical notions of what separates men and women and work toward equality and inclusion of those who don’t identify as either. Just a thought.

Moonly is very useful for beginner witches and/or spiritualists. It’s very easy to use and I’ve seen no bugs so far. My biggest problem with it so far is that it is extremely focused on, as Moonly puts it, female energy. Multiple times it brought up making a “female circle” with other women, and it is heavily implied that is its for cis women. From the Yoni Eggs section to the Woman Sacred Power section where it talks about vaginal and uterus health. It’s trans exclusionary to put it simply. It also talks about there only being two genders, which is not correct. I feel like cis and maybe trans men could find some information that could help them, but this is very harmful to trans women and non-binary people. 3.2 stars.

Moonly isn’t what it use to be I feel like they added things to it to make it better or I just haven’t opened it in a long time lol. I hope they are just adding things to Moonly cause the new stuff I saw was actually pretty cool originally downloaded Moonly for tarot but it doesn’t actually teach tarot it just gives you some details about tarot and how it came about. Before I thought Moonly wasn’t worth paying for but with the changes I’ve seen assuming they weren’t already there lol it looks like it could be worth it after all 🤷🏽‍♀️.Overall I like Moonly and hope more changes come, beneficial ones too.

by Morganashleyp

I love Moonly so much, I paid for the lifetime! I love the daily updates on how my day will go, what I should eat, what I should focus on, the affirmations and all the info it provides! I will definitely always recommend Moonly to friends in search of a good lunar calendar app, I just wish I could track my cycle on it! I would like to combine my period tracking app with this one to totally get to know my body and cut down screen time and phone storage. I would definitely re-rate to 5/5 stars if y’all made this happen! It’s just so good!

Hello! I just got Moonly and i am broke AS FRICK and i chose not to do the subscription, little did i know you NEED the subscription for the moon calendar. Its a little annoying because I’m really into this stuff but I don’t have the money for the subscription, at least show the calendar and you don’t need to add any facts about it, but i wanna see what the moon will be like… lets say its Monday and u wanna see what the moon will be like the rest of the week, BUT WHOOPS you cant scroll because you need a subscription.

Again, you don't need to add facts or horoscopes or ANYTHING just allow people to scroll through the days to see what the moon will look like because it only shows the moon 3 day’s before and 3 days after, like on Wednesday you can see what it looks like until Friday.

In conclusion, please think this through instead of tossing it into a pile of unread reviews and just have a robot respond, thank you

Moonly is so great, I love everything about it, including the affirmations, and even considered paying to unlock everything, but I recently realized something seemed off when it told me about the moons. I looked up what sign the moon was going to be in tonight and it said Libra and on Moonly it said Virgo. I live in Alaska and so I’m not sure if that’s the reason for the different info. Other than that I’d say Moonly is really good, I just wish the correct moon info was being shown for me. There’s no option in setting to change the time zone, the developers of Moonly said to go into your setting and set the time zone there and it will show the correct info in Moonly , but after I did that it still showed the wrong info. I even deleted Moonly and redownloaded it after changing my time zone and nothing has worked.

by Lavenderwoods

Update: after reading Moonly makers response, I guess apparently my phone’s time zone was set to a different location but once I set it correctly it still shows the same lunar calendar. Oh well I guess I’ll keep it since I had paid for a one year subscription. The information and tips is still kinda neat.

Old:
This doesn’t seem to be for Washington state. The moon and eclipse phases are wrong for my area. Throws everything off and it doesn’t have a settings to set to your location. Even if it’s eastern or western neither is going to be more correct than the other they should provide both for everyone. I feel like they could do better.

I never leave reviews nor usually pay for apps but Moonly breaks down both those beliefs and is an absolutely amazing addition to anyone’s daily routine. The developers created something aesthetically pleasing, simple to use/navigate, with valuable information that is concise and focused in per topic. It has everything you need for a spiritual pocket book. More than horoscopes!!! Literally would recommend Moonly to anyone looking for light & guidance as they take on their day!!

by JinxtKitten98

Thank you for everything you have made available to us. There is a free version. However, the price for the rest of the features is next to nothing in comparison to what Moonly and its developers have actually given me. I have raved about Moonly in multiple therapy groups and have highly recommended it to my friends. I have even sent details to people I pushed away years ago. It helped pull me from a dark place. I have been using it for a while now. It helped me find the motivation and the will to seek help. So I did. I feel human again and I WANT to get out of bed every day. I WANT to maintain self care. I WANT to socialize again. This application is incredibly easy to use and I don’t hold a shadow of a doubt that it will save lives. It quickly changed from a crutch to a gateway to self improvement. I highly urge you to try this out. The developers have my innumerable thanks for everything that they’ve done. I will absolutely be a lifetime member and will always recommend it. I don’t leave reviews, but I strongly felt that people should know what it’s done for me. Please seek help if you need it. You matter and I’m proud of you 💖

Moonly is so informative and I love the daily runes reading you get. I love how it tells you exactly what you should stay away from and what to engage in. I honestly can say I don’t think I have one bad thing to say about Moonly. I do have a question tho; would there be some way to go more in depth about our birth charts? How to make one, what they mean, etc? Keep up the great work this app staff!

**I forgot to also mention that I was able to get their promotional monthly price and it’s only .99 cents. For this price alone you have to try out Moonly!*

by VioletAether

Please consider offering either a one week free trial or allowing a few more features to be visible without paying. I do not feel as if I can use enough of Moonly to know whether or not I want to buy it. I am looking at other similar apps and they have free trials and/or more free content to get a feel for Moonly , but honestly I get the feeling I would prefer to pay for this one. (I’m really into runes, so...) I might anyways. But I think a one week free trial would be a good idea. ❤️

Edit: I can’t see the response while I’m writing this but since I rated this I have seen other similar apps that offer the one week subscription but show you absolutely nothing before then and now that I have seen those I agree that this is a better option and I like both what you have now and what you plan to have in the future. I will be buying the lifetime option of this as soon as I can. (There’s really no extra spending money during this pandemic so that’s probably a couple of months away still, but it will stay on my phone so I don’t forget. 😘 ) Also SUPER excited that it’s Sidereal. I’ll miss that Aquarius moon but Aries sun never fit me at all. Pisces usually does. Thanks. ❤️

Moonly has helped me reset my mental spiritual physical and emotional self. I find it to be uplifting that I share it regularly with people around me or message people about it. When I spend the day not looking at it and I reflect back on the notes they always are on point. The self healing tools and therapy options are amazing aside from the moon phases and spirituality side of Moonly . The sound bath and healing part are why I mainly signed up and I’m absolutely in love with Moonly. I highly recommend it and I’m definitely paying for your subscription after my $4 trial month is up

by Greer918

It has NOT ONLY a moon calendar, BUT it has daily affirmations, astrology based horoscopes, a daily thing where you can discover your rune for today and what that rune means and how it applies to certain situations, there’s also all different kinds of guided and non-guided meditation music, and there are wisdom articles you can read about for example: Incenses, moon rituals, chakras, runes and rune spreads, practice of gratitude. Those are just a few of the many wisdom articles that are in Moonly free to read! And having Moonly helped me so much in my day to day practices in terms of working on my mental health, my spirituality, and just my life in general!

by Irenadawn

The meditations with Moonly are incredible! I just read through some informative and inspiring words and ending with an awesome Earth Energy meditation to start my day! The music and voice was perfect to jumpstart my morning! I have never really been a big believer in the actual rituals of the ancients, but there is something to be felt in the practice of a simple self-care routine that is healthy for anyone that needs to slow down and start being grateful and more present and alive in the moments we love , live, and breathe among each other! This is strengthening my patience with others and my faith. It may seem like a silly gimmick , but do not knock it until you try it!

by CareerMommyFL

Moonly is a very convenient way to follow the different phases of the moon, but it also provides so much more in resources ranging from daily meditations, educational resources across all forms of spirituality, religion, healing, on and on. It provides daily access to user-friendly information, educational resources, and simple grounding tools. The information provided is straightforward and does not assume any level of prior knowledge or experience. This makes it a really useful app for anyone looking to learn about the moon, different cultural traditions, ceremonies, holidays, etc. There’s even a calendar for guidance on when best to cut your hair. Meditative music, guided meditations and so much more. I am truly grateful to have Moonly to work with and refer to. Check it out! You won’t regret it.

I have been using the this app app daily for the better part of the past year. Mainly, it is my go-to for my daily rune draw and daily affirmations, which I copy into my journal, and sometimes take a screenshot of to use as a wallpaper on my phone when it resonates deeply.
When I find the time I take part in the suggested meditations. Today, I did the 14 minute Loving Kindness meditation and it was wonderful. I decided to see what was new and found the developers have added *more* meditations, the music of meditative instruments, and nature sounds (I adore the Cat Purr and the Forest scapes!). I also did the 5 minute Planet Awakening meditation, a good follow-up to the Loving Kindness one.
The illustrations used throughout the sections of Moonly are beautiful and encouraging/uplifting.
Though Moonly uses Vedic/sidereal astrology, which might cause some confusion among western astrological adherents, I appreciate that it often helps clarify and/or expand upon my personal readings (and it’s encouraged me to learn more about it :) ).
Love this app. Thank you.

I’ve been using Moonly since Nov-2020. Love everything on it, daily affirmations, runes, moon calendar…everything it’s great! About a month ago I started to use the Healing area with natural sounds to sleep, specially Thunder. Guys! It’s amazing.

The only little thing that I can have an issue it’s that I wrote support and they never responded. But I fix it 💪🏼 for some reason when I made the new update on my phone it revoke my lifetime membership. I was so nervous that I wrote, but then I when to look around the page and I saw that the only thing I had to do was restore purchase and everything good!

by Damedelamour

The ad shows Moonly will be a moon calendar that explains what each moon phase, eclipse, retrograde, etc will bring. It’s not. It has affirmations. Info about tunes and info about rituals and moon phases. But none of it is in depth. A simple Duck Duck Go search can give you better insight. This is basically an affirmations app. I’d say it’s not really worth the money but it’s pretty cheap, just not what was shown.

I purchase the lifetime subscription of Moonly and was charged. I am limited to the free access version of Moonly, and am told my subscription is “none” yet I was charged for the said amount. I am not happy with this and would either like my money back or the subscription I paid for.

by Mayabats

Literally everything I downloaded Moonly for is locked and is only for premium users. I understand some features being locked because I understand the companies need to make money but there are probably about 3 things on Moonly that aren’t locked. Terrible.

by TwistedLittleWolf

Moonly is based on the Sidoric or Eastern astrology calendar and not the tropical or Western astrology calendar.

It is disappointing that this isn’t mentioned anywhere before downloading Moonly or purchasing the membership.

I absolutely loved Moonly until I realized the past full moon information didn’t line up with my other sources. I was really happy to finally found an app that offered what I have been looking for; only to find it isn’t using the same system I use and want information from and doesn’t express that.

Some of the other features are cool, but they are offer only basic information that doesn’t seem worthy of being paid for information. Or is a feature I get for free in another app that has better information.

by Melodydoc2b

Useless unless you pay, Moonly doesn’t do much & explains less in the free version; if you decide to buy the full version so that you can access all of the features it’s expensive! I don’t want to pay $25 for something that I am not sure I will even enjoy. There should at least be a trial that allows you to try out all the features before you commit to dropping that kind of change.

by Emilyhendershot

I love(d) Moonly. I even have a monthly subscription. However, when I tried reading my rune today, I received an error message telling me to subscribe in order to access the runs. I tried canceling my current subscription and repurchase but that didn’t work. So my original 5 star review has been docked to 3 stars since I’m paying for something that’s not working.

by Kenny Lin16

Cool app. Would like to have more interaction with Moonly like guided meditation, a list intentions for the moon cycle, chakras, etc. , and maybe some informational games like what stone goes with what chakra and pick a tarot card. Also having something that focus on a specific chakra/ body part would be great for those dealing with grounding, third eye awakening and so much more healing of the body. There’s so much to do with Moonly. Excited to see what you guys do.

by SadeeVi

I love apps like this! I can’t wait till you add more to this! I hope my subscription helps you in developing more features for your app! Great start so far!! Very witchy🖤🌟🖤

by Sjbean57

I Love Moonly! Easy to use / understand, and much appreciated how many features are available without having to enter payment information. Nice work!

Moonly is wonderful. Lots of knowledge and easy to manage through. Thank you ✨

by Lieutenantsasa

Just so beautiful and informative. Really easy to read as someone who is into everything and anything moon or like wise it’s just fantastic way to sit quietly in the am have my coffee and get a little idea of the day.

by Hailey Knowl😉

I do NOT regret getting Moonly at all. It is ABSOLUTELY perfect for the events in my life and can’t wait to show it to all of my friends. But everyone is different so everyone has a different taste. I would still recommend Moonly to anyone spiritual in my life.❤️

by Cut@sji

I really like Moonly. I’m using the free version but I just might get the subscription! I recommend Moonly!

by Hrdina Smutku

“I havent memorized any of it very well but an app called this app is AMAZING!
I use it everyday and the runes are always accurate to my day! Sometimes even before I check! It teaches you about everything from runes to chakras and gives these beautiful positive wallpapers everyday!”

by Baby_Blu2015

So far I really like Moonly and I like I’m the information it provides. I just hope in the future more personalization is added. Meaning we can put in our birth Info and receive info based on our charts and how things are affecting us.
