Ratings and reviews

Works very well every time for me! Very helpfel making sure my chicken coop is closed before it gets too dark, and the wild animals come out, by always having an alarm 15min after sunset. For the people having trouble, set this apps' battery usage to 'Unrestricted' in Android's settings, and disable battery saver. Long press the app icon, select App info > Battery > Change usage to unrestricted. Battery saver setting is found with Android's battery settings. Thanks for the great app!

I like being able to set sunrise/sunset alarms with a specific offset. However, the app is failing to trigger vibrations when the alarms go off even though the vibrate option is selected. This makes the app pretty useless for me since I don't want to play audio, so I never know when the alarm has gone off until I happen to look at my phone. (Pixel 6 pro)

Five Stars- Excellent!! This is a really well written app that does anything you can imagine related to triggering an alarm on a solar type event- really solid. Android in all its flavors can interact with this app and screw it up- its not the app, its a bunch of settings that vary by Android revision that try to kill apps like this. Test it thoroughly on your phone/tablet. You have to either enable this app to wake your phone from sleep or tell your phone not to kill this app if its running in the background. This varies by Android version. Also, when you set an alarm to play a song, the song is an alarm sound not music. Make sure that you have the volume levels set properly. Sunalarm also has an audio level that you need to verify. I love this app, it works perfectly but Android is a fickle OS that will fight you all the way.
