Description
JupiterMoons is your essential guide to observing the king of planets whenever Jupiter reigns over the night sky.
Sky & Telescope’s app helps you locate Jupiter’s four largest moons and time transits of the Great Red Spot with an easy-to-use interface. (The moons’ orbits are shown to scale with respect to Jupiter.) Plus, learn more about what makes these fascinating solar system denizens tick.
Observe Jupiter
• Locate Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto at the specified date and time — unlike in Galileo’s day, they’re clearly labeled.
• Zoom in by tapping on the screen to better watch accurately timed Great Red Spot crossings and moon transits and eclipses. Or zoom out for a full view of the moons’ orbits.
Take Command
• Use the time controls to step through the seconds or hours, or speed through days or even years to see where the moons will be down the line.
• Customize your view to match what you see through your telescope.
Focus on the Details
• Click on any item in JupiterMoons’ complete events calendar to see the action. The calendar lists all the Jupiter-related happenings for the day: moon eclipses and transits, Great Red Spot transits, and moon-shadow transits.
• Learn more about Jupiter and its ice-and-fire moons with our encyclopedic descriptions, accompanied by spectacular images.
Please note: this application is designed to work in landscape orientation only so that you may view Jupiter, the Great Red Spot, and the Galilean satellites at their best.

mnew67,
Wide Angle needs to be wider
The only knock on this app is that the wide-angle view does not allow sufficient room for Callisto much of the time.
skr213,
Decent - needs date/time control
This WOULD be a good app if it let you set your own time, rather than going off UT. Because that’s a 7 hour difference, when it gives me “today’s” events, it’s useless to me because technically anything I’m going to look at tonight is “tomorrow” according to the app. But you can’t switch to any date other than today on the “Events” page (if I’m wrong, please someone show me how!). You can move back and forth in time on the chart page, but not the event page, which is the page that would actually be useful for organizing my viewing.
Disgustedagain666,
Great for an astrophotographer
When the sky is clear I shoot photos of Jupiter, but have no idea which moon is where. This app helps me figure it out. It also helps me plan ahead to see if I can capture the great red Spot that night. Highly recommended for anyone who does planetary photography.
gholt00,
NOT for iPhone X!
I love this app, but I can’t use it now that I have an iPhone X. Until they update this don’t try to use this with an iPhone X — you can’t get back out of it.
Anthony in SF,
useful and easy to use
This is a simple app that does one thing well: it shows and tells you when Jupiter's four Galilean moons and their shadows will be moving across Jupiter's face, when the moons will be passing behind Jupiter or through Jupiter's shadow, and when the Great Red Spot will be in the middle of Jupiter as seen from Earth, and thus most easily visible through a telescope.
I've been using the tables in Sky and Telescope Magazine to plan when to see Galilean moon transits, but this app makes it much easier and quicker -- you don't have to scan through a long table of fine print and mentally translate from Universal Time to your local time zone. It's all right on the screen with a clear diagram of what everything will look like through your telescope, and you can adjust the display to show an inverted or mirror image, to match the view through your instrument.
The supplemental information and images of Jupiter and the moons are well chosen and helpful, but the main screen is the reason to get this app.
As other reviewers have said, it would be nice to be able to set parameters for alerts, e.g. a shadow transit or occultation between 7 pm and 11 pm local time. Another quibble: this app only displays in landscape mode, which makes sense to get the widest diagram of Jupiter and the moons, but I would like to be able to shift into portrait mode because that's how I hold my ipad when I'm at the telescope.

JSpiceCA,
This app rocks!
Love love LOVE this app. While Jupiter's gracing our skies for the season this app will be a constant reference. I used to use the website but now, at a glance, I can find moon, moon shadow and GRS transits at a glance - and not even have to convert from UT!! With the ability to move back and forth in time, both in large and small increments, I can plan my astrophotography sessions or check which moons I captured.
PD Ferguson,
Very thin application
This app is disappointing in how little it does. Besides the main display of Jupiter and its four visible moons' positions, it has very brief descriptions and a few photos of the planet and the four moons. It is far from a complete reference on Jupiter. For example, it mentions the fact that Jupiter has more than 60 moons, but contains no other information about them.
Compared to other full featured astronomy apps like Star Walk, Safari Pro, or Luminos, each of which costs only a few dollars more, this app delivers very little for the money.

South Star,
Nicely done!
I look at Jupiter through my telescope every night I can. This app quickly and smoothly shows me the info I need. Ditto on the previous poster's request for a notification feature, but still worth 5 stars.
Mt. Nipomo Observatory,
Date Option
I've been using the on-line version for years and a bit disappointed we are nickel and dimed into paying for this. One glaring omission is an option to enter another time or date manually, instead of tapping, tapping at minute and hour intervals to get other dates and times.
rakisone,
Great!
This is an awesome idea for an app. No more reading a chart in Sky&Tel for me. Graphics are fantastic and very intuitive UI. One thing I'd like to see if a notification option to select certain types of events to be notified on my device.
