5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked Elevation Mars, you should pick this up, as well
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2016
This is every bit as good as Elevation Mars, and it's so cool to see the moon in such detail. I highly enjoyed Elevation Mars, and this app has tons of locations, and the awesome water feature to adjust the "water" level of the moon according to bodies of water found on Earth. For instance, the Black Sea would cover 1% of the surface of the moon, and water is added to fill up some of the craters, etc. The textures are pretty hi-res, and combined with the elevation, feels like you're looking at the surface of the moon.

For the price, a fun astronomy app that will give you hours of fun exploring the Moon. Several landscape settings to choose with many lunar features identified. One of my fun times with the app: patching Kindle through a large flatscreen T.V. and setting a slow spin on the Moon. It was like being in your own Apollo 8 Command Module orbiting our ever mysterious inconstant Moon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2014
The 3rd in a fascinating trio of planetary apps from Riptide. Elevation Earth, to Elevation Mars and now Elevation moon. Just like the others the 3D is amazing, wondrous eye candy through every orbit. On the educational side, the points of interest, landing zones, massive creators and mountains, I didn't know the moon had mountains. My only complaint, I can't see the alien base on the dark side, must be camouflaged.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2015
The Elevation series of apps are beautiful. You can customize the view to your liking. Only 4 stars because the moon is bland compared to the treatises on the other planets in this series by Ripside. The series I rate 5 stars overall. Kindle Fire Hdx 8.9.
