Sunrise. Sunset. Sometimes the sky lights up with amazing color, other times.. not so much. MySunset provides a sunrise, sunset, and golden hour forecast for the next 6 days as well as notifications for great forecasts. Don’t miss the next great sunset! There are two ways to view sunrise/sunset data: 1 - An interactive map with an overlay showing the forecasted quality of upcoming sunrises and sunsets. By default, your current location is shown on the map. On this screen, you can toggle between sunrise and sunset, change the date, move the map around, and zoom in and out of the map. 2 - The second screen is a table showing a list of custom locations. Each location displays a forecast percentage, a corresponding color representing the quality of the sunrise/sunset, the time of the sunrise/sunset, and an icon representing the weather forecast. Tapping on a date will reveal additional weather information (% cloud cover, % chance of precipitation, wind speed, and temperature). This allows you to see if a sunset will be poor due to too much cloud cover or too little cloud cover. Tap on a day to view weather data for that sunrise/sunset. Even if the sunrise/sunset isn't great, this data is meant to assist in accomplishing your unique artistic goals. Current location: - % cloud cover, including cloud levels (low, mid, high) - % chance of precipitation - Humidity - Wind speed - Temperature 50 km (30 miles) East/West: - % cloud cover - % chance of precipitation 150 km (90 miles) East/West: - % cloud cover - % chance of precipitation Tap the three dots to open more options: - "View on Map" will open the location on the Map screen - "Configure Alerts" allows you to receive push notifications when an upcoming sunrise or sunset is predicted to be colorful.

I cannot restore purchases subscriptions via app. Through my iPhone settings, it says I’m subscribed. Please help! ### 1/5 — Worked well until I upgraded *2025-06-30* Completely malfunctioning ever since I upgraded. Can’t load new locations, can’t reset settings, tried restarting phone and reinstalling app, still doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-06-12* It seems the app is not working anymore for some reason. That’s unfortunate ### 4/5 — Better than Nothing *2025-04-26* An attractive idea, but it seems to need further research and development. I hope the company is using some of our funding for that. ### 3/5 — Great idea *2025-03-12* The app has real potential. It’s reasonably accurate at predicting good sunsets/sunrises. I’ve only used the free version as I can’t justify paying a subscription for the pro version. If it was a one off payment like PhotoPills, I’d go for it straight away. ### 5/5 — Accurate! *2025-01-26* Thank you Emily, I use the app all of the time, it is pretty darn accurate! Happy shooting ☺️ ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2025-01-18* Hats off to Emily for doing the hard work to figure out when clouds, sky, and other weather factors will yield sunrises and sunsets that will look good (or great) is photographs - and then making it easy for the rest of us to benefit from her insight! Thank you very much for a wonderful app. ### 2/5 — No longer usable *2024-10-01* App no longer works on my iPhone. It malfunctions and gives “API error” messages. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it doesn’t help. I enjoy it when it’s working, but that is rare anymore. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2024-08-12* I wanted to love this app and I get that this is not an exact science, but the same thing happens every time I use this app. I check for sunsets two days in advance and make plans for photography. If I see a 70% chance of a good sunset, I plan on going to that location. Almost every time, when that evening arrives, it changes to 20% or less. Last night, as I was staring at a grey sunset, the app was telling me it was a 65% chance of a good sunset. How about a 0% chance? Thank goodness I did not pay for this. It is being deleted. I am tired of wasting my time on this useless app. ### 1/5 — False predictions *2024-08-08* We attempted to use this app while in the Pacific Northwest and it was completely inaccurate. It would forecast a great sunrise or great sunset but change within 12 to 24 hours so you’re not able to plan any locations for photography. Quite disappointing. ## Frequently asked questions about My Sunset ### What does My Sunset do? My Sunset provides a six-day forecast for sunrises, sunsets, and golden hours.
