• Astrophotographers and stargazers hunting moonless nights and Milky Way season

• Anyone with family, friends or colleagues in another part of the world
• Sailors, hikers, runners, gardeners
• Anyone curious about the sky

PRIVACY FIRST

• No ads, no tracking, no account, no advertising IDs
• No analytics SDK — SunZones collects no data about how you use the app
• Your saved places stay on your device. Their names and coordinates are sent nowhere, ever
• Crash reports are the one thing SunZones sends, so a launch bug gets found and fixed. Places and coordinates are stripped out first, and you can switch it off in Settings → Diagnostics
• Reminders and the widget run entirely on your device — no push service, no backend
• Payments are handled by Google Play; SunZones never sees your payment details

Sun times are computed with commons-suncalc against each location's own time zone, so a city on the other side of the world reads the way its residents read it — not the way your phone does.
