Useful other than that. ### 3/5 — Good free app but not always accurate *2020-05-25* This is a great free alternative to the Photographers Ephemeris but I have noticed a couple of times where the moonrise and moon set time is completely inaccurate. I use it for photography but don’t feel like I can always trust it so I have another moon app to compare the times to. But for a free app it generally does well. ### 5/5 — Terrific app! *2019-11-14* Perfect for teaching “seat of the pants” navigation and general interest in the outdoors. Sixty years in BSA and this is a VALUABLE teaching tool. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Not bad, some features clunky or missing *2019-11-05* I can’t seem to figure out how to use the location search feature to set the location - Loading the coordinates seems to always default it back to the current GPS location. I am looking for an app that can display altitude angle at locations and times other than my own. Scrolling through time of day seems very slow, and doesn’t seem to change the altitude angle shown. Thanks anyway! ### 2/5 — Отзыв *2019-04-15* Мне не понравилось, что после одного из обновлений при запуске программы она всегда работает по местному времени, и, я каждый раз должен в ручную переходить на нужное мне время UTC. До этого обновления было гораздо удобнее. Программа сохраняло часовой пояс, установленный перед ее предыдущем закрытием. ### 5/5 — Boa apresentação *2019-02-26* Muito boa a forma de apresentação dos dados. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2019-01-21* 对于每天追寻太阳月亮的我太需要了 为此点赞 ### 5/5 — Works! *2018-10-25* Works fine on iPhone and iPad. A very nifty app for knowing current and future location of sun and moon, as well as other cool facts. Works for current location or location of your choice. ### 5/5 — Don’t need Google with this app! *2018-06-29* Love it!! ### 5/5 — Отлично! *2018-06-28* Простая интуитивно понятная программа именно с тем функционалом, который я искал, но долго не мог найти. Показывает направление захода-восхода Солнца и Луны в любой точке, сегодня выбыл на место съемки, проверил — всё сошлось. Спасибо разработчикам, реально упрощает жизнь при пейзажной съёмке. ### 5/5 — Superb *2018-03-12* Do almost the same as TPE but for free And really don’t need all fancy features from TPE just where will be sun rise and set on the day what I want shown on map Only what i miss is lock position button on map when u try to zoom in/out to see bigger area ### 5/5 — 微小的赞美 *2018-01-29* 谢谢你让我拥有了找到月亮的机会。让所有夜晚都不再孤单。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — デバイスがハッキングされアカウントが停止しましたとの表示が出る。 *2026-06-16* 広告がでるならまだしも、こんな表示がでるなら信用できない ### 1/5 — CRASHED!!! *2026-03-08* Don’t really know what this app is for… ### 1/5 — uncorrect calculation *2024-06-10* 11/06/24 it writing wrong time if next full and new moon - i mean huge miscalculation - ext ew moon will be at 18 june 2024 its nonsence ### 1/5 — Collapse since last update *2024-04-15* Loved this app, including its nuance that the times projected were always from the user’s local time. Since the last update, the app crashes seconds after losing. Every time. Hope it’s rectified or I’ll look for a replacement ### 1/5 — No Azimuth *2023-10-21* No Azimuth for sun/moon rise set that I could find (except by going to the predicted times). Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Popup in Thai(?) In launch, no option for English. *2021-05-30* I LOVED the sun map app; it used to work fine. When I launched it yesterday a pop up appeared, with what looks like the Thai language, with two blue buttons. I can’t read Thai, so I have no idea what it said or what the two buttons were. There was no option to change the language and no way I could see to avoid the pop up and get the all to work without clicking on one of the two buttons. I deleted the app and reinstalled from the App Store, but the same pop up remained. I deleted-reinstalled again today but same thing. Let me know when it’s fixed, I’d love to have this app again! ### 1/5 — Kopf aus dem Fenster *2019-12-18* Und gucken ist billiger ### 1/5 — Total waste *2017-10-01* Does not work at all on Apple Watch. Displayed only 5 of 8 sun times (rise/set/twilight), then hasn't changed in 3 days. Brain dead useless app for Apple Watch. ### 1/5 — Won't open to your location *2017-05-06* Appearance of Chinese letters and failure to launch to your location or appear in Settings make this app a big fail. ### 1/5 — Stinks *2016-11-15* Unable to shift time by scrolling, it doesn't save last location ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 拍日月最好用的免费APP， *2025-09-19* 最棒的是能查询以前和以后的某个年月日太阳月亮每时每分钟的位置数据！ ### 5/5 — 无法正常使用 *2025-07-09* 点击图标进入后立即退出了，导致无法正常使用。 ### 5/5 — 不会用啊？ *2023-06-21* 当前太阳方位是怎么显示的呢？ ### 5/5 — Super *2023-04-05* Un seul petit reproche : les données ne sont pas rafraîchies en temps réel. ### 5/5 — Such a great app *2021-07-05* I always use this app when i want to do sunbathing. ### 5/5 — The best. *2020-10-04* Zoom around , 600ks northwest. What’s sunrise, sunset? If you can guesstimate where you’ll be around sunset you won’t need signal. My job relies on sunrise/ sunset. ### 5/5 — 太陽、月について *2020-08-12* 太陽、月について、ある日時場所における詳細な方位、角度等が分かって便利 ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2020-07-01* 👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Fascinating *2020-04-23* It’s fascinating tracking the sun and moon. So clever being able to select any time or day, anywhere in the world. I’m considering moving house and this app was brilliant in showing me where my new home would get the sun. I know it does far more than I use it for, but I don’t understand some of the terms. Thank you to the developers. ### 5/5 — 不错，哈哈，真的是不错。 *2020-02-24* 不错，哈哈，真的是不错。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
