Today you won’t surprise anyone with a horoscope app on your iPhone. Access to such information is open today, you just need to enter the corresponding query in the search window and App Store will offer you a list of programs with corresponding functionality. But what if you want something more serious? For example, applications with a lunar calendar. There's an app for that!
This application is called “Your Moon” and you are unlikely to find analogues in the App Store.
The program provides the user with a wealth of all kinds of information about the phases of the Moon, various parameters of the Moon and the Sun - the visible surface of the Moon, its age, position and condition at the current moment in time.
After launching the application you are taken to home screen, the amount of information on which immediately confuses the unprepared user. Without going to other screens, you can find out not only current time, but also the quarter in which the Moon is located, the time of sunrise and sunset, azimuth, elevation, percentage state of the Moon phase and a lot of other information. The background of all these numerical values is the zodiac sign in which the Earth’s only satellite is currently located. In the upper right corner you can see a small icon with information, touching which you will open a menu that allows you to calculate the parameters of the Moon for any date.
The main menu contains five screens at once, and you can switch between them with a simple swipe. The next screen after the main one contains all the necessary information regarding the position of the Moon relative to the Earth, its angles of inclination, azimuth, elevation, ascension, declination. It even indicates the time until the next lunar and solar eclipses.
The next, third screen contains various astronomical information. Here the Julian date is calculated (an astronomical method of measuring time, in which the number of days that have passed since noon on January 1, 4713 BC of the Julian calendar is counted - Wiki), sidereal time is indicated. In addition, from here you can find out the exact coordinates of various points: the Ascendant, Antivertex, Lot of Fortune, Eastern Point, Moon, Sun and Midheaven. Opposite each of the coordinates is indicated the symbol of the zodiac sign in which this or that point is located. Its name is duplicated right there.
The fourth screen of the main menu shows detailed information about sunrise and sunset, length of day, peak point of the sun (noon), length of day, etc. If you happen to be Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville, the main character in the movie I Am Legend, then you will probably like the fact that the application displays information about the remaining time until sunset.
The last screen of the main menu contains some description of the current day according to the lunar calendar. In addition, here you can read the signs for the current lunar day. So the application can be used not only as an encyclopedia of various data on the position of the Moon, but also as a collection of daily signs of the Orthodox calendar.
In the second tab you will find a calendar. But this calendar differs from the one we are used to in the dates given in it, on the basis of which the distance and displacement of the extreme (farthest and closest) points of the Moon relative to the Earth are calculated. This year, the Moon will make its closest approach (356,953 kilometers) to the Earth on the morning of May 6, at 7:34. In addition, thanks to “Your Moon” I can find out that it will be full on this morning. This is quite an interesting tool for young men who want to prepare a surprise for their ladies. Dig a little deeper and spend the night looking at the largest moon of the entire year. In this case, you can appeal to facts that are given in the application, such as the zero offset of the Moon or sidereal time - the hour angle of the vernal equinox, used by astronomers to determine the direction of the telescope if necessary. And then I guarantee that your lady will thank you for such a fascinating story and praise your deepest astronomical knowledge, and you, in turn, will thank the “Your Moon” application, which brought to you all necessary information.
The last menu is the settings screen. Here you can indicate your exact location, by selecting a settlement from the list of given ones, configure several settlements at once by entering the latitude and longitude of the desired city, or also selecting from the list of given cities.
The application is quite educational and is intended for both ordinary users, who want to get to know the mysteries of the only satellite of the Earth, and for those who are fully prepared and are able to extract from the data given in the appendix not only useful information, but also benefit.

In addition to the standard iOS calendar, there are many more options in the App Store. Some are more functional, some are simply beautiful. What features should an ideal calendar have, and should it definitely be paid? Let's figure it out.
Google Calendar - free
The version for iOS has a slightly “Android” design; the only inconvenience is the uninformative monthly calendar window and large indents - the design benefits from this, but the readability of busy days does not. The calendar is being rehabilitated by deep integration with Google services- synchronization of tickets from Gmail, name suggestions from Google Contacts, opening documents in Docs/Sheets, and videos in YouTube.
Fantastical 2 - $4.99
One of the most famous alternatives to the standard iOS calendar. The main feature is the “understanding” of what is written (“Meeting with Ana in Berlin tomorrow from 10 to 12 pm” will automatically create the necessary note), convenient search by a lot of criteria (place, time, name) and an original design, where the top third of the screen is occupied by a horizontal bar select a date, and below it a list of tasks scheduled for the day is displayed. The calendar is distinguished by its detailed design appearance and wide settings, but not localized.
Timepage by Moleskine - $4.99

The highlight of the design is the “thermal scheme”, a color indication of how busy the day is by the number of events planned for it. According to the developer, in one glance you can easily assess how busy you will be in the near future. The calendar boasts weather forecast tips and estimated travel times depending on the type of transport, but main feature calendar from Moleskine - its pleasant design.

Eclipses of the Moon and Sun are of a real nature.
The phases of the Moon and the Sun have well-described mathematics and have nothing to do with mysticism.

The program implements 3 additional calendars, which are calculated once a month:
- complete calendar of lunar events for the month
