The thing to remember is the moon, like the sun, rises in the east and sets in the west, and like the sun it also "travels" across the horizon depending on the time of year. A full moon will rise more to the north in the winter, and to the south in the summer. In it's other phases, the location and timing of the rise changes, and the new moon rises pretty much where the sun rises, around the same time the sun is coming up, hence why the moon is "new" aka invisible. The apps in question basically do the math for you in regards to where it'll be visible relative to any point on earth at any given time, but if you sort of get used to paying attention you'll start to see the patter in the moon - it's phases, it's location in the sky, when it can be expected to come up - you can sort of anticipate it as well. The main thing to keep in mind is you can't get a shot of the moon rising in it's full phase at the same time the sun is rising, and you can't shoot it to far to the north or south when it's rising or setting. It's also really hard to expose for the moon along with a foreground interest when it's pitch black out, there's a five stop or more difference between the moon and a given landscape, typically. I've tried it with reasonable results but I had to make two exposures. Hope any of this helps, good luck and have fun OP.
