  • Little Gem

    Small and easy to install. Perfect for displaying the current moon phase. Has plenty of potential for improvement, but very good already.

  • The prettiest Moon phase widget for WordPress

    Modern and pretty! The remaining plugins on this topic look as if they were born in the previous century. So, it is definitely 5 stars for the appearance! I love how easy it is to work with the plugin. You can add it to the sidebar and change the background color with the color picker in a few seconds. So far, everything is working correctly, geo detection is right for me & the Moon information is accurate. I would also like to be able to customize the Moon phase icons and, maybe, the font. But for the moment, I love it as it is. Thanks a lot to the developer!
