Nothing happens, can’t go to the next screen, can’t pick a location ### 2/5 — Constant errors *2025-09-28, version 3.4.5* I paid for this app and love that the quality of the visibility is rated but everytime I try to use it an error message displays and I have to close and reopen multiple times before it works. Reported the errors numerous times but no response/ resolution. I cancelled my subscription for this reason. ### 2/5 — Way off the mark *2024-02-04, version 3.3.2* I’ve just started using it, unpaid at the moment, and it predicted the sunrise as fair quality 38% but it was absolutely glorious in my area in Australia. I would rate it a lot higher than 38% and definitely more than fair. Puts me off going premium. ### 1/5 — Failed engagement *2022-03-04, version 2.4* Awful at predicting a sunset, I used it to set a time to propose to my partner, and I couldn’t back out, so went for it with an overcast sky and slightly raining, she said no, if it was the good quality 50% sunset you guys had promised it would have been a yes. ### 1/5 — Mal *2021-08-12* Hemos ido varias veces a ver el atardecer y el amanecer cuando lo puntuaba muy alto y no se veía nada y solo había nubes. Pero cuando lo puntuaba bajo era precioso. ### 4/5 — Love it, but wish it had a few more options *2021-08-01, version 2.4* Great, minimalist design app, but wish the sunset rating was available longer into the day. I like the previous comment where it would be cool if there was an option to receive notifications for a certain percentage and higher. ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2021-07-18, version 2.4* I had this app for 2 weeks and It’s basically never went over 20%, and there were some amazing sunsets during these two weeks. ### 4/5 — Better at predicting than others *2021-06-04, version 2.4* At first I didn’t find this app impressive, however, it’s simplicity has certainly grown on me, and the accuracy of the predictions far outshines the competition, which makes it a valuable tool in my opinion! Thanks for your efforts! ### 4/5 — Cool app but... *2021-02-28, version 2.4* Would be great if there was an option to notify the user if the percentage is above a certain threshold (85 let’s say) ### 2/5 — False negatives *2020-09-07, version 1.3* Way too many false negatives. I’ve used this for a good month every day and have never seen it predict a sunset as being beyond fair quality. That has not been the reality in the least. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2026-02-18, version 3.4.5* Present date will take forever to load if inactive on the app for a while ### 1/5 — Once great, not maintained *2026-02-07, version 3.4.5* Used to enjoy this app and found it to be more accurate than not. Over the past year it became increasingly unusable, with error messages all over the place, and as of December 2025 the forecast dates are not updating. No response to my help inquiries, so I take it the developer has given up on the app. Makes me feel dumb for paying for it for as long as I did. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-16, version 3.4.5* App doesn’t work at all except for throwing an error message. No replies from this business after 3 or 4 attempts. Maybe the app business isn’t for you? ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-11-12, version 3.4.5* Get an error ever time I open that app. Can’t get any info. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-07-19, version 3.4.5* This app is a total waste of money. It is always crashing or failing to update. I’m constantly getting error messages. I couldn’t tell you how accurate it is because I can only get an update about a 3rd of the time before giving up on the million error messages ### 1/5 — Accuracy *2024-04-24, version 3.3.2* It wasn’t always accurate ### 1/5 — worst app ever! *2024-02-23, version 3.3.2* Junk!! ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2022-07-22, version 3.0.1* This app promises a small amount of information and delivers less! It’s advertised to “never miss another sunset”. Not much, but in fact, it doesn’t even deliver that. Weather Channel gives me the sunrise and sunset time. I’m deleting this loser. ### 1/5 — The time *2022-07-20* The time is always incorrect… because when si want to look at when the sunset is, it tells me that it was 12 hours ago, and that the next one is in two days… so please fix that **Developer response:** Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I should mention that the times in the app are shown in the timezone of the location you are currently viewing. If you are still having issues, please use the support button in the app and we will get it all sorted! ### 1/5 — Guess work! *2022-05-10, version 2.4* Not sure if this works at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautifully customizable *2025-10-25, version 3.4.5* Everything you could want from this informational app! We love it! ### 5/5 — Helio App Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2025-01-06, version 3.3.2* Helio is a great app for anyone who loves sunsets 🌅 it provides accurate sunset times, weather conditions, and even golden hour details, which are perfect planning your day or snapping the perfect photo 📸 I love the customisable notifications—Helio sends a reminder before the sunset, which is perfect for making sure i dont miss a beautiful moment 😍 It also includes a community section where users share their sunset photos—which is a nice touch for inspiration ☀️ Overall, this is a perfect app for sunset chasers ❤️ 100% recommend ! #teamHelio ### 5/5 — Great for filmmakers *2023-11-21, version 3.3.2* This app has become invaluable for planning film shoots. I never schedule a shoot day without checking helio first. ### 5/5 — The best *2023-10-24, version 3.3.2* This is the best Sunset app ever ### 5/5 — Use it everyday *2023-09-06, version 3.3.1* Fabulous app and is updated regularly! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2021-12-09, version 2.4* I love this app! It helps me know if the sunrise or sunset has good quality which is what I love the most. I also like how it doesn’t locate your location, you type in your location. I would recommend this app. ### 5/5 — mencanta *2021-02-13* muy buena para saber cuanta probabilidad ay de que el cielo se vea bonito i poder sacarle una buena foto❤️🌞 ### 5/5 — Bien *2021-01-24* Bien ### 5/5 — the design!!! but widgets please :-) *2020-11-20, version 1.3* as someone who was raised in tucson, arizona, i know how important the sun is and how beautiful golden hour can be. i’m so glad an app exists so that we can track it!! the design is a clean and simple and serves the exact purpose that i need. just waiting for a widget feature to be added 😏😏 it would also be nice if users could see a day ahead or behind (calendar feature almost? although unsure how far into the future the sun forecast goes). maybe also let us toggle between sunset or sunrise golden hour time, or let us see both on the same screen ✨ either way, great app, thank u developers + designers 💛 ### 5/5 — Simple & Beautiful *2020-06-24, version 1.3* Cute simple app built for one purpose and one purpose only - never to never miss a sunset. I want to slap this right on my home screen always & forever if the devs can turn into a widget for ios14. Would live on the watch face too :) Feature request - enable notifications and allow user to set a threshold in which to trigger a sunset warning. Aka over 85%, I must see this! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
