Leave a Review Alpenglow
I needed a “where’s my cat” reminder
This attractive app enables me to set a teminder before sunset ( customizable) so when I forget that my cat insisted on an outdoor stop 20 minutes before sundown, it nags me politely that sunset is x minutes away.
What with feral possums, raccoons, and cats in our city, not to mention my cat’s mobility challenge, I don’t allow him out during the dark. And searching Apple’s app store for cat care stuff was USELESS!
So, thank you, AlpenglowShow lessDeporodh
Useless.
Lovely design but unfortunately the sunrise/sunset outlooks are not accurate at all (e.g. it’s predicting 68% ‘Good’ when there’s 100% cloud cover and complete overcast sky).Akworley
Fantastic For Photography
I love this app. It’s great for photography and the forecast predictions are pretty spot on! I use this app everyday to check for sunrise and sunset predictions as I have found Alpenglow is the most accurate!WillieD33
Great app!
I use this app daily and have come to depend on it for my morning adventures to the beach.Lionel Richies Cat
Surprised me
I was skeptical, especially not knowing what drives the ratings. This morning the sunrise was forecasted for 74% (highest I’ve seen). Weather forecast called for mostly cloudy. Alpenglow was spot on, the sunrise was one of the best I’ve seen in a while. Well done.SlothropsZero1234
Feedback is not available now.
There was a feedback available in the past. So I can provide an on-site photos to prove the forecast was not right.
Sounds like this option is purposely missing now.VladAzarov
Not always accurate but helpful
I use this app to see how the sunrise and sunset are forecasted. The app is not always correct. Some days it will say the sunrise or sunset will be great but turns out a bust. Other days it is the opposite. Each day is different. When the app is correct, the sunrises and sunsets photographed are awesome! It is little annoying to get up each to capture what is forecasted as a beautiful sunrise that turns out to be not so great and/or colorful. I would rate it 2.5 stars but I have to round up to 3 stars.Show lessRdh3142

Thanks for the feedback. I'm actively working on bringing improvements to the forecasts, hopefully in the next few months there will be a noticeable improvement. I'm also looking at bringing in live conditions, as forecasts can be incorrect which only compounds when a sunrise/sunset forecast is made. Using live information from airports etc will allow the app to correct itself if current conditions are looking way off compared to those forecasted by the NAM/GFS models.Report
It would be nice to help improve when this is incorrect, which it is fairly regularly. This morning I was up at 5am for what was supposed to be a 60% great sunrise. It was overcast, foggy and I snapped a picture to share in reports, but apparently 9mins after the event is too long after… somewhat silly. I don’t find this app to be very good at least in my locationShow less0182837465

Sorry to hear. I'm currently working on improving this and hope to have something to reveal in the next couple of months. Field Reports should absolutely be submittable 9 minutes after sunrise or sunset so I'll take a look and see what might have happened there.Being told to purchase again
I purchased a lifetime membership. Now, after a couple months, I’m being asked to purchase a subscription again. I feel like I may have been scammed by this app, so buyer beware.TacomaTrax
Beautiful app and excellent information
I take time lapses of the sunset and this app helps me know when, where and if the sunset is going to be magical! Thank you for such a wonderful app.CaptSasssy
