### 5/5 — BUG: Civil, Nautical, and Astronomical Twilight all the Same Time

*2026-07-12, version 1.2509.1*

The same time is listed for all three stages of twilight. This bug affects both morning and evening twilight. In order from brightest to darkest, it is civil, nautical, and astronomical. These twilight stages don’t occur simultaneously.

Please address this in a future version.

### 5/5 — Thank you it works

*2021-11-24, version 1.4*

Apple Watch widget does what I need

### 1/5 — Location settings in iOS 14...

*2021-03-15, version 1.3*

...seem to not allow this apps watch complication to work. The only location options are now “allow once” or “only while using app”. Obviously I’m not going to have the app open to look at my complication on my watch. So it only shows two dashes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-11-28*

When added as complication it just leaves a hyphen, even after allowing location. 

Download Watchsmith instead, got it working in no time and it allows more options.

### 4/5 — Love the functionality

*2020-10-08, version 1.3*

I love the Apple watch complication however, it reads 6:27... 

I assume it's trying to display AM or PM. Would be nice to either leave that off or modify the sizing so it can all fit.

### 5/5 — Great complication

*2020-10-03, version 1.3*

Really like the complication, however on my 40mm watch the complication shows the sunrise as 7:32..., I’m assuming it’s trying to show AM or PM but it’s getting cutoff. Would be nice to turn off the AM or PM or reduce the font size or something so the whole thing will show up.

### 4/5 — Nice simple app

*2020-08-01, version 1.2*

But the complication should be change from sunrise to sunset right after is sunrise and vs, not at 12am and 12pm. Thank you
