5/5Love it. It works. Simple.
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.

5/5Excellent interface
Beautiful layout - very easy to read. Another comment here said you can't save manually entered locations but you can. You just need to turn off the auto-locate at startup. I like how the phases of the moon animate for different days. All of the iOS4 issues seem to be fixed! Nice addition of the animation of sun and moon position and elevation throughout the day.

4/5Great app, but a minor bug
A great little app that I use all the time. On my 3GS running the latest OS, there's an annoying little bug when the "autolocate on startup" option is on. It seems to find the right location, but it's always 3 hours off in the time zone. A work-around is to go to the map settings and click the "find where I am" button, then turn off the autolocate on startup option. But it would be nice to have this bug fixed.

5/5not enough stars
this rev is exactly what I needed. This app has reached the top. There is no way to improve it from here. I photograph sunrise/sunsets, moonrise/moonsets and used to have to fake out the app by setting the ipod time and date to the time of the event I was interested in to get an actual compass direction for where on the horizon things are going to happen. Not anymore! You can set your location in maps to exactly where you are and with the new rev know exactly where on the horizon the rise/set.. is going to occur. If you are into photography this is EXACTLY what you need for this type of landscape photos. Fantastic job in providing this update. There aren't enough stars to actually rate it.. The only thing to improve on its usefulness to me is for apple to finally get a gps in the ipod touch so I can pinpoint my location exactly.. but that ball is in apples court! thanx for a great update.. hallmark

5/5Sun n Moon
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.
