Moon Rotor does not automatically attach app data to the draft. No support message is sent until you choose to send it through your mail provider. Moon Rotor's Privacy Policy linked in the app explains how a voluntary support message is used, retained, and deleted, and how to make a privacy request.

When reporting an issue, include the Moon Rotor version and build shown in Settings, your device model and operating-system version, and a short description of what happened. For Android widget issues, include the launcher you use, such as Samsung One UI Home. Do not send private or sensitive information.

Explore Moon Rotor on iPhone

Tap the lunar readout to open Tonight. Its Explore menu contains Go to Date, See the Moon, Moon Keepsakes, and the existing Reflection Library. The rotor's turn, flick, catch, and tap-to-Today behavior stays the same.

  • Go to Date previews a month and returns the chosen date to Tonight and the rotor.
  • See the Moon uses an offline city or coordinates you enter. It estimates local rise/set times, height, direction from true north, and time above a flat horizon. Use Forget this location to remove that saved selection.
  • Moon Keepsakes stores your own dates and notes separately from reflections. Share cards leave your note out unless you enable the excerpt and review it.
  • Settings > Reminder Schedule lets you choose times and a day-before notice for full and new moons. Reminder opt-in remains in Settings.
  • Settings > Add Widgets explains Home Screen and Lock Screen setup. Choose Today for the moon and subtle ring. Existing Today and legacy Custom widgets use the same face, with no visible text or configuration options.
  • Settings > Astronomy Only hides optional reflective content. Using the Rotor provides help whenever you want it.

Keepsakes and reflections stay on your device and do not sync between devices. Keep normal iOS backups for data you want to retain.

Explore Moon Rotor on Android

Tap Tonight to find Settings and Explore. Explore opens the calendar, See the Moon, Moon Keepsakes, and Reflection Library. Turn the rotor slowly to explore dates, flick to coast, and tap the moon to return to Today.

  • To add the widget, touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen, open Widgets, and choose Moon Rotor. The widget shows a textured moon and subtle ring. Tap it to open today's rotor; spinning is available inside the app.
  • In Settings, enable daily reminders, principal-phase alerts, or day-before full and new moon notices. Your chosen reminder time applies to daily and day-before notices. Allow notifications when prompted. Android and Samsung battery restrictions can delay delivery; check the app's notification and battery settings if reminders do not arrive.
  • Keepsake cards leave notes out unless you choose an excerpt in that sharing preview. You can delete keepsakes individually and remove your observing location with Forget this location.
  • Android uses curated Tonight reflections. Astronomy Only hides optional reflective content; saved and dismissed reflections remain in the local library.

Keepsakes and reflections remain on this device. Android backup and device transfer are disabled, so update the app in place without uninstalling or clearing storage. Share any keepsake card copies you want to retain before removing the app; shared images cannot restore the original library.

Important use information

  • Astronomical values are practical consumer calculations. Local sky estimates do not account for hills, buildings, weather, or elevation, and can be less precise near the poles. The direction is relative to true north; the app does not detect which way your phone is pointing.
  • The independently validated numerical range is January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2050.
  • Zodiac labels and Tonight guidance are optional reflective content, not scientific claims or medical, mental-health, financial, legal, relationship, safety, or crisis advice.
  • Moon Rotor does not predict events or outcomes.
