About this app

Home screen widget that display an image of the earth indicating the sun shade on the globe. The app shows data for sunrise and sunset for the current location or any selected location.

When adding a widget, a default view is selected. By checking the option "Follow position", the projection will be selected to follow your current position. The current position is marked with a red dot. A location may be selected by tapping the globe, which then is marked by a violet dot. Tapping outside the globe again selects the current location.

By default, the widget occupies two by two cells on the home screen. Press and hold the widget to enable resizing.

After installation it is possible to add a widget to the home screen (tap and hold).

Ratings and reviews

It's a cool, simple app. I would like to be able to fully spin the globe in all directions, I live far south and can not put my cityright at the centre of the globe. Also, for some reason, I can not place the time bar widget on my phone (Samsung A53, using Nova Launcher). I assume it's a bug.

Great visualization of day/night. Well done. Some suggestions for future versions if you dont mind. (1)Dark mode(2)Pinch-zoomable globe(3)Lat-long lines on/off(4)Earth axis tilt displayed. (5) Light bands on the globe just like on the day/night bar display (dawn,sun rise, dusk, twilight etc) Excellent work thanks very much :)

Have always loved this app, however since last update the widgets won't auto update, I've checked settings and it will only 'allow while using the app' there is no option to allow all the time like other widgets. So it will only update when you go into the app. Please sort, great app. Thanks for the reply, yeah it was background location update, but still an awesome app, well done, keep up the good work. 5*s.
