Timer Messed Up

It is November and this stupid app is trying to tell me that golden hour sunset is 11:30 at night for the Pacific Northwest, lower 48. I don’t live in the Southern Hemisphere near Antarctica!

Not correct at all

When I put in my exact location it tells me sunrise GH is ending 3:22PM
Sunset ends at 0:22am
What?! I don't think so!
Deleted app.

Golden hour is when?

Says sunrise in South Carolina is at 11am? Say what?! It looks like this app has been abandoned by its developers which is a shame, because it’s simple and relatively easy to use. Unfortunately I’ll be looking for another app that ACTUALLY reflects when golden/blue hour is in my location.

Wrong time indicated

Something is wrong with this app on iPad. Does not indicate the right time.

Bad App

Terrible location services.....choose Lorena, TX USA from their list and it tells me Golden Hour starts at 12:43 pm and ends at 2:17 pm! Maybe on Mars, but here in good old Texas the sun is at high noob that time of day. App not ready for prime time.
