Leave a Review Alpenglow
Decent app
Just what I was looking for, hopefully they don’t harvest my personal data against mu will like most free apps but who’s really to say what happens with our data? Selling personal data is big business for many tech companies.shdowflare
Developer Response
Thanks for the review. I definitely don't retain, use or sell any personal data. It's one of the reasons the app never asks you to signup or signin. Keeping everything anonymous.Widgets Not Working?
App used to work amazingly 5/5 but since the latest updates my widgets are now not working? This was the main reason for downloading this app, now the widgets don’t work so I don’t have access to the info on my Home Screen. Have tried everything to fix it but once it is fixed I will leave 5* again.jim bibend 012334
Homescreen outlook widget broken
It's hard for me to give a fair star rating. Before iOS 16 it would have been 4-5 stars. Not an automatic 5, because I live in a place where the only sunsets are actually alpenglow and they happen in the east. The app doesn't really seem like it can handle that, so most of our sunset quality predictions are wildly inaccurate. But I was fine with that, and used the app mainly for times and not for quality predictions.
After the iOS 16 though, the homescreen widget for the outlook has broken. It shows only colored boxes with grey lines where the text should be.Show lessPleaseupdate_elance

Sorry to hear. Would you be up for emailing me at feedback@alpenglowapp.com with a screenshot and I'll take a look. Apologies for the delay, I just got back from honeymoon so keen to take a look asap.Update: Great App and Great Support
I tried to edit my 2 star review. I initially gave it two stars because I was not hearing back from AlpenGlow support. However, they were trying very hard and they found me via twitter and asked if I was the 2 star review and wanted to help resolve my issues.
Within minutes we connected and got my issues resolved. So. Great App/Great support. They went above and beyond to find me when the messages from the apple store were not reaching me for whatever reason.Show lessDoug ha

Hi Doug. I've responded a couple of times but unfortunately not heard back from you regarding your previous purchase on the Play Store. Is there another email we could try? Feel free to drop me another email to contact@andydev.co.uk and happy to get things sorted for you.Poor
This app is pretty inaccurate with its for cast. I m currently sat at Southport beach watching a cracking sunset when the app only gave a 7% “poor” chamce of a good sunset. Pretty much gets it wrong every time unless a settled high pressure.sunnysouthportbloke

Sorry to hear you've had inaccurate forecasts from Alpenglow. I'm currently working on improving forecasts and hope to have something out in the coming months. In the meantime, if you do come across in inaccurate forecast you can submit a field report. These will be used to continue to improve the forecast in the future. I'm also planning to introduce current weather conditions in the app. This would make use of weather data from local airports rather than a forecast model and introduce a way for Alpenglow to adjust a forecast if the current conditions are way off from the previously forecasted values. Thanks again for sharing!Map function useless
The map is useless. Such poor quality and basic you can’t plan for where you want to be and need to be. Suggest you try free version before paying.nayfster
Developer Response
Sorry to hear the map isn't useful. I'd love to hear what I can add to make it useful for your planning. Please reach out to me at feedback@alpenglowapp.com if you have chance.Amazing service for those who care
Comprehensive, detailed, and largely unmatched. Huge upgrade from the weather channel.Silica packet
Inaccurate forecasts and unresponsive developer
UPDATE: I’ve increased the review to three stars because the developer did send me a basic email explaining wedding preparations and asking me to send him the emails again. I have done so and I am waiting on a response. Will update review as appropriate.
ORIGINAL: I even sent screenshots and photos trying to understand. No response. Deleting app.Show lessZufabulous
Great Sunset & Sunrise for Photos
I rely on this app for outstanding sunrise & sunset photos. Alpenglow is the first application I use to determine what days are best for my landscape photography. Great photos start with this easy to use sunrise and sunset planner!Hayes043
Not very accurate for my area
Maybe it’s because I live on an island and the weather is less predictable short term, but I missed a glorious sunrise today that was rated as poor by the app. I should have been set up for it!! Would love the app otherwise.Sunrise Junkie
