Daylights is your calendar for daylight and night-dark hours around the year, all over the globe. It offers three alternative daylight visualization styles, allowing you to choose whichever feels the most intuitive to you: • The Classic: the 12-hour clock alternates between daylight and night-dark, whichever is shorter. • The Light: the 12-hour clock always shows daylight, overlapping with itself when necessary. • The Magic: a 24-hour clock shows the full day, and highlights the "magic hours" around sunrise and sunset! You can pick any location on the planet to look at the interplay of the polar night and the midnight sun at the big latitudes. And finally, you can see how the light and dark hours would shift in your hometown if daylight saving time became the permanent state of things or was removed altogether, or if they decided to move to the next or previous time zone. ## Key features - Global daylight visualization - Three distinct visualization styles - Explore polar night and midnight sun - Daylight saving time impact simulation - Time zone shift simulation ## Recent user reviews (3 of 3) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daylights/id1344857062/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Best free app I’ve ever tried *2021-07-19* It’s simple and works does what it should nothing more nothing less thanks! ### 2/5 — Does not keep settings, no 12 hour Magic mode *2020-10-04* This app has potential, but falls flat... it doesn’t read my daylight savings time properly, so have to add +1 hour in settings - then when you exit app and open again, the same problem! Why not save the settings?? Stupid! Also, I don’t like figuring military time all day, Magic mode is the only useful screen display for me, and it does NOT allow for 12 hour/Magic Mode, stupid again ... fix those basic issues and would rate 5 stars, otherwise useless! ### 5/5 — Intelligent design *2020-08-14* Love it! Solves a prob I’ve always had but never knew to solve only critique is more customizations for displaying information!
