TUAW's Daily App: Phases

And you don't even need an Internet connection -- the app has a database of over 20,000 cities, so even if you can't hook up to the 'net, you can still get information from the app. It's just 99 cents in the store right now, so if the clean design and surprising amount of data available in this one appeals to you, definitely give it a download.

Phases is one of those apps that has a lot of information you wouldn't really think of or need -- until you actually have an app...

Companion app for star walk? I would definitely use this as one.

@Catatonic I believe we are showing the correct images. Don't forget to account for hemisphere. Hemisphere can be set in Phases, so it'll match the moon as seen in your location. (The difference in hemisphere is noted in that Wiki article Robert linked to.)

Actually, yes, this IS a good app for witches. ...but more likely the Wiccan variety than the "Satanic blood alter picnicking tea-party" ones. :)
I actually have iEphemeris lite, which I think is as good or better, though; it gives realtime data as it occurs (continually updating).
I rather like MoonPhase (http://tinyurl.com/yzfme3j); it gives me a Werewolf warning.
