Deluxe Moon – Moon Calendar for Android

What is Deluxe Moon?

Deluxe Moon is a paid Android app (US$3.99) created by LWS Research that brings comprehensive lunar data to your device. It combines traditional moon‑phase information with additional astronomical details such as moon age, illumination percentage and the moon’s position in the sky.

Main features

• Moon phase schedule – precise times for new, first quarter, full and last quarter phases.
• Rise and set information – local moonrise, moonset and their azimuths, plus timers that show how long the moon has been up or how long until it sets.
• Lunar age and illumination – see how many days have passed in the current cycle and what fraction of the disc is lit.
• Zodiac integration – the app maps the moon’s position onto both the tropical zodiac (Moon Mansions) and the sidereal zodiac (Nakshatras with Padas).
• Extended calendars – monthly overviews, moon‑day calendars and a dedicated moon‑zodiac calendar.
• Widgets and live wallpaper – quick glance widgets for home screens and optional live wallpapers that display the current phase.

How it works

After installing, the app uses your device’s location settings to calculate moonrise, moonset and related parameters for the current day. You can swipe vertically to move a month forward or backward, and swipe horizontally to change the day. The interface also lets you select a custom location, date and time if you need data for a different place.

Practical uses

• Photography – plan night‑time shoots by knowing exactly when the moon will be above the horizon and how bright it will be.
• Astronomy – track lunar cycles, perigee/apogee events and the moon’s zodiac sign for observational projects.
• Outdoor activities – hunters, anglers and campers can align their outings with optimal moonlight conditions.

Installation information

Deluxe Moon is available through the Google Play Store for a one‑time purchase of US$3.99. After purchase, the app downloads automatically. No additional in‑app purchases are required to unlock the core lunar data.

Things to know before installing

• The app requires Android devices that support the Google Play Store; specific version requirements are not listed, so a recent Android release is recommended.
• All calculations are performed locally; an internet connection is only needed for the initial download and optional location services.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone who needs reliable moon information – from amateur astronomers and night‑sky photographers to outdoor enthusiasts and people interested in lunar astrology – will benefit from the depth of data provided by Deluxe Moon.
