  • Accuracy

    It wasn’t always accurate
  • worst app ever!

    Junk!!
  • Great for filmmakers

    This app has become invaluable for planning film shoots. I never schedule a shoot day without checking helio first.
  • The best

    This is the best Sunset app ever
  • Don’t bother

    This app promises a small amount of information and delivers less! It’s advertised to “never miss another sunset”. Not much, but in fact, it doesn’t even deliver that. Weather Channel gives me the sunrise and sunset time. I’m deleting this loser.

    bobhhy, I’m sorry you had trouble with the app. We recently released a new version. Give it a shot and let us know what you think! You can always contact us by using the support button in the app.
  • I love this app

    I love this app! It helps me know if the sunrise or sunset has good quality which is what I love the most. I also like how it doesn’t locate your location, you type in your location. I would recommend this app.

    XReviewer4X, thanks for the positive review! ☀️
  • Better at predicting than others

    At first I didn’t find this app impressive, however, it’s simplicity has certainly grown on me, and the accuracy of the predictions far outshines the competition, which makes it a valuable tool in my opinion! Thanks for your efforts!
  • the design!!! but widgets please :-)

    as someone who was raised in tucson, arizona, i know how important the sun is and how beautiful golden hour can be. i’m so glad an app exists so that we can track it!! the design is a clean and simple and serves the exact purpose that i need. just waiting for a widget feature to be added 😏😏 it would also be nice if users could see a day ahead or behind (calendar feature almost? although unsure how far into the future the sun forecast goes). maybe also let us toggle between sunset or sunrise golden hour time, or let us see both on the same screen ✨ either way, great app, thank u developers + designers 💛

  • False negatives

    Way too many false negatives. I’ve used this for a good month every day and have never seen it predict a sunset as being beyond fair quality. That has not been the reality in the least.
  • Simple & Beautiful

    Cute simple app built for one purpose and one purpose only - never to never miss a sunset. I want to slap this right on my home screen always & forever if the devs can turn into a widget for ios14. Would live on the watch face too :)

    Feature request - enable notifications and allow user to set a threshold in which to trigger a sunset warning. Aka over 85%, I must see this!

    Thanks for the feedback! Notifications are coming soon. We can’t wait for you to see them. iOS 14 widgets would be awesome! We’ve added them to the roadmap.
