5/5Fast and Accurate. Simple.
This app is what a good app should be. Open it and there is the information you want to see! It can’t get simpler. I configured it once to go directly to my current location at the current date using cellular data. If you want a different date, roll to that date. If you want a different location, drag the pin. I just read if you want the moon just shake the phone. I have not tested that. Maybe it has other features. I most often want to know the sunset to know how much time I have left to be where I want to be at that time. I love this app and recommend it if you want speed and simplicity.

5/5Simple, yet incredible!
This has got to be one of my favorite apps… someone mentioned it gives them hope after the holidays. I could not agree more! So fun to see (especially if you like up north like me - Seattle) the upcoming big shifts as spring approaches. It’s also so much fun to play around with different times of year and different locations. How crazy is it that between today (Feb 6) and Feb 24, we will gain a whole extra hour of sunlight?! It’s not only an engaging idea, but also useful for planning around how much daylight one can expect to have! Thank you for creating this!!

5/5Simply Life Changing
This app does exactly what it says it does! It’s intuitive and easy to use. I love to take a walk in the morning and see the sunrise and a walk in the evening and see the sunset. It keeps me grounded and I feel connected to creation. It’s better than morning coffee and better than melatonin at night. 15 minutes before sunrise I go for a walk and see the sunrise. 15 minutes before sunset I go for a walk and see the sunset. I get 4000 steps a day just with my two walks.

5/5Great app! One thing I can’t figure out, though
Perfect app. Simple and beautiful. I like how the picture changes daily. Also, it’s nice to see the moon times, as well! The one thing I can’t figure out - if I move the pin to another location, how do I get it back to my original location? I can drag it, but it’s not always exactly where I want it. It’s probably something simple I’m missing. Thanks for a clean, simple, beautiful app!

5/5Best game ever!!!
One of the reasons why I love this game is because I like messing around with it to see when sunrise and sunset will be at different times. It’s also very helpful for me because then I know what sunrise and sunset times are. I love this game, and I would suggest everyone else should use it if you wanna know your sunrise/sunset times. You can also see moonrise/moonset. I hope you enjoy playing this game as much as me, and have fun! I absolutely love this game!
