For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Findings that met the published evidence standard.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 37 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 35 reviews we read)
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Trial converts to a charge: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 258 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The free trial demands a payment method up front and/or rolls into a paid subscription with no usable warning.
Paywall with no way past it: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 215 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
A paywall screen ships with no dismiss, skip or 'maybe later' affordance anywhere in the package, so the app's own text offers no way in without paying.
Hard to cancel: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 215 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
Misleading advertising: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 215 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
Reviewers report clear pricing: raised by 7 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 184 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own text offers a one-time or lifetime purchase, or reviewers report that the price is stated clearly.
The store privacy disclosure (5 entries) links no contact details or identifiers to the user — consistent with an app that does not require an account. Self-reported by the developer.
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own screens offer a way past sign-up — guest access, skipping, or browsing before registering — rather than gating the product behind an account. The store's privacy disclosure is checked alongside it: that disclosure is self-reported, so it corroborates this credit rather than establishing it.
1,290 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Raised by 37 distinct reviewers — about 1 in 35 reviews we read on this store leg (App Store).
Money Grab — Sure. It’s decent. It’s AI instead of human readers so there’s that. But the biggest thing I can’t get behind is how much money they ask for. I got the full year subscription which I thought would get you majority of the…
I love the app — I’ve been using this app now for quite a while, and it gives me much insight on things I need to understand and things I may not understand what they have this tool on here where you can get a deeper insight on a question…
Paywall everything — You’re required to get a subscription to even get access to the app then you have to pay more to get access to anything else, you’d be better off using chat gpt
Lied About Free Trial — This app literally lied to me about a one week free trial and charged my card $30 immediately. I can’t even get a refund. I tried going through Apple but they denied it. So unless you wanna be forced to do a “free…
No trial period — The app looks really interesting but I don’t like being unable to try it out. You can’t actually use ANY features of the app until you get a subscription, and the options are weekly @ $7, annual at $35ish (can’t recall)…
Can’t use without paying. — Don’t bother downloading
Over charge — You cant even see you sun sign without paying. Honestly a scam because i already know but wanted to see what they would show due to the amount of ads they force down my throat. You are being charged for EVERY. SINGLE. THING.
Unable to cancel — They charge so often and I can’t find the app in my subscriptions to cancel
!!! DO NOT BUY THIS !!!! — IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION NO WAY TO CONTACT ANYONE FOR HELP
Scam! Don’t do it — Bait and switch you get a chart and a gimmicky tarot deck and some meditations then they try to charge 19.99 for every thing else each thing do t do it and especially do not pay off the AppStore site then you can never…
Waste of time-bait and switch — I was hoping this would at least tell me the moon phases for free, but it's not even usable without paying...I couldn't even get past the initial app set up without paying. That kind of thing should be made…
Bait and switch — To start off, the subscription levels are purposefully skewed to make you purchase at least a year. In Canada the options are: - $7 for one week - $25 for a year - $50 forever $7 should be the monthly charge not weekly…
Questionable subscription pricing — I don’t understand the purpose of a one-time payment of $50 for all the benefits and then piling on additional costs for key features of the app- like asking questions (after 10, you have to pay)…
Not a fan of the updates — I’ve been using this app with full access for years, and while I’ve always been a big fan, I find myself using it less and less with all the latest updates. My daily usage of the app is now I primarily for the…
Paid for a subscription but don’t have full access — I like the app so far. I paid for Moonly plus; the yearly subscription. The only thing I can say that I don’t like currently is that I paid for a yearly subscription but I still don’t…
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
“Not assessed” means we could not measure it. It is never a zero and never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.
Supporting measurements: not a complete list of possible harms or positives. Measurement vocabulary 1.4 · how these are measured

moonly-apple-1489889871Assessed 2026-10-26 from 1,290 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Write to [email protected], or use the form. Name the finding, the app version and the evidence that needs correcting. Factual corrections are free and never depend on buying anything.
