How do you even use it?
I was really excited to download this app. However, when I opened it, I can’t find any instruction page on how to use it. For exactly, there are various colored lines…I don’t know what they mean.
I wrote an email to the developer to ask, but haven’t heard back. So the time for my free trial is ticking away, with me having no idea whether the app is helpful or not.
Plus the cost. Apple really needs to be more upfront BEFORE downloading on what the associated costs for apps are. This has gotten really annoying, that you have to own the app to be told. Let’s go back to transparent, informed decision making, please.Show lesstrinkrdink

Hey there. Would you mind emailing again? I’m not seeing any unanswered emails in my inbox at the minute aside from a couple with bounced responses. Can use feedback@alpenglowapp.com. I’m working on v10 and plan to add more details about various features in the app. The lines on the map indicate the direction of sunrise and sunset. The yellow line is the direction of the sun at the selected time. The colors of the sunrise/sunset lines match the icons at the bottom alongside the slider. As for the cost, it costs money to retrieve the forecast data and Alpenglow offers a generous number of features for free and I believe the price points are fair given the time spent developing the app. Of course this could be more transparent and I’ll think how to make it clearer in an upcoming app description update. Hope this helps answer a few questions. Feel free to drop me an email with anymore. I’ll also check my spam folder to see if anything slipped through.Inaccurate
Every time it says good sunrise it’s been poor with no sunrise but when it’s been poor there has been a sunrise and missed it. Absolute inaccurate to rely on.BT1UK

Sorry to hear you’ve not had a good experience with the forecast accuracy. It’s something I’m actively working on. Just like any other weather forecast it can have good days and bad days especially as sunrise/sunset forecasts are forecasted from weather forecasts so if they are wrong it can throw things off. If you’re able to submit field reports, these are being used to improve the forecast accuracyLove
Lovely idea, love telling my friends and sounds so wholesome and everyone I tell is intrigued and end up downloadingEmeliaparry
