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

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!
