Moon Map Pro
Moon Map Pro is a very good alternative to Moon Globe and Moon Globe HD. This app is iPhone only and will run on the iPad in 2x mode. The app includes tons of different moon landmarks and includes some handy calculations such as libration, terminator, illumination, right ascension, and declination. This is a quality app that may be worth your buck.
