## What is MAX Daylight?

I wrote this app to help me get home before dark while riding my bicycle.  You can see at a glance how much time until sunset, and set notifications for when you are running out of sunlight.  Your loved ones will no longer worry or complain.

Then I added everything solar but the kitchen sink, just for fun.  Not only for your current location, you can monitor sunrise, noon, and sunset anywhere on Earth.  You can compare locations, make movies, and generate reports comparing a location you select to places around the globe.

Check the distance to your location, the Equator, and the North or South Pole from anywhere on Earth.

Quick and easy for its headline purpose, but enough detail to satisfy almost any nerd.

Most of the USA is far enough north to have little sunlight in mid-winter, rapid changes in the amount of sunlight in spring and fall, and a glorious abundance in summer.  You need this app to keep on top of all that.

## Key features

### 5/5 — A great app

*2025-09-17, version 3.1.5*

I use this App everyday many times!
BTW is there a way to delete a location that I saved by mistake or no longer required?

### 5/5 — Best daylight app & more!

*2024-12-28*

I have used many apps to track daylight hours but now exclusively use this one. It’s the best! The clean layout with so much information including moon phases, too, is great. The daily countdown to sunrise, noon and sunset is valuable, and all sorts of “nerdy” (but fun) graphs concerning sun and moon physics has actually taught me a lot. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review - much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Outstanding app – so simple and so useful

*2024-10-31*

For anyone who does anything outdoors that is slightly open, ended, such as a bike ride, a hike, or just going for a walk, this is so helpful and so easy to use. Thank you for all the effort inputting this together.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words.  Please let your friends and colleagues know about our app!

### 4/5 — Lots of info

*2024-10-08*

That I probably don’t need. I just wanted the times for first light and last light for the day

### 5/5 — Wow, great app!

*2024-08-19*

I can say that I basically downloaded every daylight/sunlight app out there and this one is easily one of the top three and probably the most exhaustive one. Congrats and thank you.
It would be nice if you could make a few more widgets to keep track of all that information at a glance…

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review.  Please let us know what widgets you might like via our support email in the app under Settings.

### 5/5 — Great for Astronomy Planning

*2024-03-22*

I use this app in my astro observation planning. Solar and Lunar information very well laid out. Good presentation of graphs and tables. 

Mr. Mykytyn is prompt with support and seems to care very much about his product.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-02-20*

I’ve been using this app for years and the 3.0 UI update made the app even more amazing! I highly recommend this app if you’re a photographer, astrophotographer, or just someone who likes the giant burning fireballs.

Steve has been constantly improving the app and has some great ideas in the pipeline. Thanks for building this incredible app. 

Praise the sun!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review.  Much appreciated!

### 1/5 — Interface

*2024-02-09*

Not a fan of the new interface. Love the data this app provides. It was all in one place, now it is spread out with duplications.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the new UI. Watch for version 3.0.2, we'll be making a few changes just for iPhone users that might make things easier for you.  Check Options on the Settings panel when 3.0.2 is released. Please contact us at support@359north if you have specific suggestions for MAX Daylight.

### 5/5 — Daylight

*2024-01-14, version 2.1.3*

Most excellent app for looking forward to the days getting longer as spring approaches. It’s very encouraging!

### 5/5 — MAX Daylight is my favorite app

*2024-01-12*

This app helps to get daylight alerts on your phone

**Developer response:** Thank you for your rating and review. If you have any suggestions for us on how to improve the app, please let us know.
