Ratings and reviews

Tldr: It's missing important features. The good: Simple and no ads. The bad: it doesn't show sunset and sunrise at the same time. It's missing the altitude arc, and it doesn't draw a line from the selected location to the sunset for some reason. Basically it's missing some very helpful features from the website and it's much less useful for photography because of that.

Nice simple app, almost as good as the browser version. I wish it had a few missing features, such as the altitude arc the sun follows at the given location on the selected day and the colored band of altitudes possible during the year, as well as the sunrise/sunset direction rays. However, the time slider and the changing color of the sun indicator (yellow above horizon, gray below) do a fine job of showing the same daily information.

I love this damn app!! Trying to grow potted plants and was confused by my perception of sun's path and what to expect at certain points in growing season. We have some obstructions with trees blocking light. This app really helped me understand what is going on at my location relative to compass grid and sun's path across the sky. I love it. Well done!!
