About this app

MySunset gives you the ability to view sunrise, sunset, and golden hour predictions for the next 6 days.

There are two methods to view sunrise/sunset data:

1 - An interactive map with an overlay showing the forecasted quality of upcoming sunrises and sunsets. By default, your current location is shown on the map. On this screen, you can toggle between sunrise and sunset, change the date, move the map around, and zoom in and out of the map.

2 - The second screen is a table showing a list of custom locations. Each location displays a forecast percentage, a corresponding color representing the quality of the sunrise/sunset, and the time of the sunrise/sunset. Add as many custom locations as desired.

Tap on a day to view weather data for that sunrise/sunset. Even if the sunrise/sunset isn't great, this data is meant to assist in accomplishing your unique artistic goals.

Current location:
- % cloud cover
- % chance of precipitation
- Humidity
- Wind speed
- Temperature

50 km (30 miles) East/West:
- % cloud cover
- % chance of precipitation

150 km (90 miles) East/West:
- % cloud cover
- % chance of precipitation


Tap the three dots to open more options:
- "View on Map" will open the location on the Map screen
- "Configure Alerts" allows you to receive push notifications when an upcoming sunrise or sunset is predicted to be colorful. In-app purchase required.

Ratings and reviews

Updating my review now that the map functionality is back. It is the 2nd most useful feature (after the ability to view forecast for multiple days) and a strong differentiator of this app against other competitors. I really appreciated the dev's quick response and turnaround time to get the map readded. It certainly says a lot about the effore that goes into maintaining and developing this app, especially bringing back a costly feature to the free users. Thanks a lot! And keep up the great work!

App is accurate so far. I have been using it the past whole year. Today got a 94% awesome sunrise. I'm using the paid version. I dont give 5 stars because the map functionality got removed (I dont know why) Map was useful for me to check where I could potentially get a better sunrise/sunset and plan accordingly. I hope the developer can bring the maps back. And remeber people, we are dealing with weather here, it tends to be unpredictable. This app have worked for me most of the time.

Amazing little app! You need to take the distant predictions with a big grain of salt. But, I've found that while the exact times change as they get closer this app really does help you to know when there is a good one coming. And the close (24h) predictions tend to be a little optimistic, but will at least tip you off of a real chance of something good so you don't miss it! 40 percent chance and up means that there will usually be something pretty to see if you can see the low horizon.
