Good job, guys.
I’ve always been enchanted with the golden hours of the day. This app helps me to do that in a simple and accurate way. Thanks!Scotththomas
Useful but watch the timings
There is some great information here but watch out for inconsistent timing. The app is currently telling me that sunset is in 1 hour at 8.20. It is currently 6.30Laidbackcyclist
Not even a full 24 hour forecast
For the last few weeks I have only been able to view the current day’s sunset forecast. I guess I could view that mornings sunrise forecast but then I’d have to wake up before sunrise to look at an app to tell me if the sunrise will be good when I could just get up and look out the window. I gave two stars because it was a pretty decent app when you could check the next morning forecast the night before and make plans for potential sunrise photos.Show lesseastside willy

Sorry about that. Currently the app is getting a high amount of traffic so temporarily I’ve restricted forecasts for free users so everyone is able to check their forecasts without downtime. I’m planning on updating the apps low usage mode to allow you to view sunrise for the next day. In the meantime if usage looks lower tomorrow I’ll be returning to the previous behavior. You can also unlock up to 4 days of forecasts with Alpenglow Plus or Pro.Useful Feature
Your app is awesome! I use it every day to check the sunset quality. I think you should make the blue hour when the sun is between 4 and 8° below the horizon, that way the blue hour will have a little more time. I also think you should add times for first light and nightfall, when the sun is 18° below the horizon, this will be useful for Astro photographers. Other than that, it's an amazing app!Show lesskghbhfvjvc
Polish and Product Pride
Long time photographer, and when I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to check more data and detailed forecasts, this is great. Bought lifetime to support and also just because yay, no subscription! Price may be steep to some for lifetime, but hey, the days of one-time purchases are gone, so the developer even giving us an option is great. Subscription prices are definitely reasonable, too.
One thing I’d ask for is (contradicting my own review) for a bit more data. I can hop into one of my many weather apps and see exactly why a sunrise/sunset is going to be good/bad, but sometimes, it’d be nice to get the breakdown of info in the app.
Next, a page layout for locations. Obviously, conditions don’t vary much over the course of a couple miles, but as someone who regularly makes trips halfway across Texas (which is many hundreds of miles), conditions vary greatly, and it’d be great to just swipe between pages for each location. For example Houston, Austin, and Dallas… Really no complaints about the app, especially considering this is made by one person. Polish you rarely see nowadays. Much love and respect from a fellow nerd. 🙏
Lastly, I’d love a combo large widget, with times AND quality forecasts on it. We have a large times widget, but I’d love to see a large one that combines quality forecasts and times. Would be so nice, so useful, and undoubtedly beautifully designed. Please! :)Show lessCWK214

Thanks so much for the review and the feedback. I’m working on the next big update so can hopefully make a bunch of that possible. 😁Best app out there
Highly recommend this app. It’s mostly been accurate.gtanramon
Doesn’t work well
This app does not work as advertised. I purchased a life membership, I am now questioning my decision. The app does not change automatically when I travel to the new location, it claims it will but doesn't. What is worse, it misses good sunset alerts. Tonight we had a great sunset, there was no alert on the app. Think twice before investing in the app.Show lessBuck47
Disappointing
In the two months since buying this app, no sunrise or sunset forecast has been even close to correct. I bought a lifetime subscription so I’m hoping the forecasts will improve over time. I live on Puget Sound, maybe it’s harder to predict the forecasts here?Heather1932
If Carlsberg made sunset apps...
Can’t fault a thing! Love this app so much!TR1793

Thanks for the review. :DNailed sunrise forecast!
Got a “great” sunrise alert from Alpenglow - and was skeptical, but went at 5am and the app nailed one of the best sunrises I have even seen. Absolutely nailed it!
Can’t wait for next great alert!
Also love the new multiple day forecast option!gs19701234
