### 1/5 — Missing feature

*2024-05-17, version 2.32*

Does not track lunar noon, only has solar noon.

### 1/5 — Alarm doesn’t work!

*2024-02-04, version 2.32*

Installed the app, paid for all features and set an alarm for sunset. Doesn’t work. Either fix it or refund me!

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2022-05-03, version 2.32*

Perfect for time keeping & sabbath. 
There anyway option for changing a new day start setting to Dawn instead of midnight?? That’ll be nice!

### 5/5 — Location?

*2022-03-14, version 2.32*

I enabled use my location and the location chosen is about 10 miles from me. I am wondering if the reason is as another reviewer stated? I appreciate the inclusion of Islamic and Jewish time markers, important for the prayer obligations of both groups.

### 4/5 — The App is aweaone but I wish it had a widget!

*2021-12-03, version 2.32*

The App is aweaone but I wish it had a widget!

### 1/5 — Crashes... not Hindu friendly

*2021-02-28, version 2.32*

The app is not Hindu friendly and assumes only Other religions pray at sunrise. 

The app crashes when you try to add a song as the alarm.

### 5/5 — Can we make this as screen lock or atleast a widget

*2020-10-07, version 2.32*

Widget please

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-10-01, version 2.32*

Poor

### 4/5 — So close to 5 stars

*2020-09-21, version 2.32*

This would be my fave app ever, if only one thing...more sound alarm options. The one and only alarm sound ( unless you link to a playlist) is nowhere near loud or long enough to get my attention. It seems that would be easy update, if it happens 5 stars all the way!!!!

### 1/5 — Spazzing app

*2020-04-30, version 2.11*

Scrolls through all future dates. Can’t see anything because it starts with today and freaks out through — well I’ve seen as far as mid 2021 before I gave up on it. Pity. Wanted sunrise/set alarms.
