★★★★★Simple, easy, great!🇺🇸 US

I’ve been using this app for years and love it! It’s easy to use, and has a clear presentation of the basic information about the sun and moon. It’s always been my go to app to see when sunset and sunrise are going to happen … today, or any other day. Great app!

★★★★★Love it. It works. Simple.🇺🇸 US

Used it for many years. Definite winner. You can win bets around the solstices, because the times of sunrises and sunsets do some crazy things due to the earth's elliptical orbit.

★★★★It's ok.🇺🇸 US

I'm a truck driver who hauls oversize loads, where sunrise and sunset times are critical. An error can cost around $500. So far this app has done well as far as accuracy is concerned, but it would benefit from a better list of cities. I find myself hoping I have wifi so I don't have to set my position manually on the map. This app is trustworthy, but would benefit from additional development and patches.

★★★★★Used to be five stars🇺🇸 US

Have had this app for almost 2 years it used to go to set location without any problems now have to make five trips around the barn just to get info that used to just pop up not happy with what you did to it please put it back the way it was. Now really inconvenient !!!! If it hadn't cost money I would have dumped it by now!!!!!

★★★★★Ok app🇺🇸 US

Always starts by trying to get location. If last location was map or city search, it should remember it. Also, better date handeling would be good. From the main sun screen you can only go up or down one day at a time. I know you can go into the date set mode, but that seems like a lot of extra clicks when a popup or swipe would do.

★★★★★Awesome🇺🇸 US

Exactly what I needed. I'm a photographer and do much of my work at night. Now no matter where i am I can know instantly what time to start and stop shooting, and how much light the moon is going to give me. Thanks fir such a useful app.

★★★★★Wanted to compare locations🇺🇸 US

I was looking for an app that would store more than one location. This app only stores one. Looking to compare sunrise/sunset locations side-by-side. Will say it has pretty pics and easy to use. Only one FL city listed, need more. Can only choose cities listed, cannot search specific cities. It would be more ideal if user could store more than one location and retrieve from "retrieved save."

★★★★★Sun and Moon🇺🇸 US

Excellent app. I love the moon especially full moons. I also have painted moonscapes with oil paints and this app. Let's me know exactly what time the moon rises or sets or for that matter where it is in the sky at any time of any day. I just use the map and drag the pin to my location to get sun and moon info. ~tc

★★★★★Sun n Moon🇺🇸 US

Has all the info, but have to look it up each time by hand, when the city is not in the list. Why can't we save a list of perhaps 5-7 locations frequently used?Can only save last location inputted. A pain when planning a trip to photograph in western USA, as most areas are not listed, as there are no cities nearby. So one has to drag the pin from place to place, time and again, across multiple states, as there is no where we can save a list of areas, such as Jackson Wyo, Helendale Ca etc.

★★★★★Sun n Moon🇺🇸 US

Both my son and I are into photography and since we got this app we have become sunset photo buffs. Knowing the exact time of the sunset makes it so easy. This summer we travelled from Oregon to the mid west where the sunsets were spectacular and right on time as shown in this app. Very cool that the program could use the built in GPS and auto correct for our new location. Anyone who loves to photograph the great outdoors will love this app.
