Worked well until I upgraded
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.
Not working
It seems the app is not working anymore for some reason. That’s unfortunate
Better than Nothing
An attractive idea, but it seems to need further research and development. I hope the company is using some of our funding for that.
Great idea
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.
Accurate!
Thank you Emily, I use the app all of the time, it is pretty darn accurate! Happy shooting ☺️
Amazing App!
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.

No longer usable
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.
Pointless
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.

False predictions
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.
Add Location feature does not work!
Hi Emily, multiple people on here have been complaining about the add location feature not working. I don’t see a follow up or response to any of them. When is this going to be fixed? I paid for the pro version and it isn’t a friendly experience. Feedback requested.
Cool but only current location works
Really cool but I can’t seem to add any locations. I’ll type something in and locations will pop up as I type but when I click on one nothing happens and it still only shows my current location. It’s frustrating because I’d like to use this to plan a trip.
App been malfunctioning for months - pro version
Bought the pro version because I thought it would improve performance. Basically can only see “my location” and no other locations. I’ve deleted app and re-installed it. No performance improvements. Sorry I spent the $ on it. Disappointed because when it works, it’s great.
App is useless since new update
Can’t add additional locations anymore. Only shows current location.
Just wow
When I first came across this app, I looked at it as a backup or confirmation to TPE and considered it to be more as a curiosity than a serious app. When TPE began to give me spotty results this year I decided to give MySunset a second look. All I can say I I wish I had done so much earlier. I live in the DC area and it’s batted 1.000 for me this year. It’s been so good, I’ve traveled as far as Gettysburg or Fredericksburg (70 or so miles) based on its predictions (80% or higher) and I’m 1000% satisfied with the results. It has been simply outstanding!
The map is buggy and inconsistent and the colors change when you zoom in and out. (I have no idea…) Yes, highly irritating but I’ve learned to ignore it completely when I realized how good the tabulated data are.
If you’re into sunrises and sunsets I can’t recommend this app enough. Wish I could post photos. Give it a try!

Problem with ads
There are problems with the way the ads display. I get the same banner ad displayed 10 times in a row on my screen, to the point where I can’t even see the location information. Also, sunset prediction is accurate about 50% of the time.
Data not populating anymore
What’s going on? In the last few days many locations have no data at all? With the last update I also lost my favorites.
My go to photography app
This app has been amazing over the past few years I’ve been using it. So much data and information in one place. Can’t wait to test out the latest update with golden hour predictions.
Latest version still doesn’t work
No data loads
Great idea, bad implementation
It may have to do with the way that the SunsetWx data is processed, but I saw, as other did, wildly different data with small movements on the map. The UI is “okay” and I’d say it works fine if the information being displayed was accurate. Sometimes you just see a giant circle that indicates a GREAT sunrise/sunset, with a low score, but then a small swipe and it’s gone. Something I noticed was that the highlight always seems to have an “X” pattern to it, highest in the center. Just doesn’t help me. Cancelled trial and deleted the app.

The worst
Drove 45 min to a sunset spot as the app said 73% for the sunset. We got there and it was pouring. Huge thunderstorm. Spoiler alert: there was 0% visible sunset.
