User reviews

No widget

I like the idea and can’t understand why this is not incorporated in standard clock apps. I bought it expecting at least a widget but there is none. The whole idea of being able to see daylight hours at a glance is weakened if I have to open the app to see it.

Great app!

Use this all the time to plan my outdoor activity.

Knowledge is power

Know when darkness (not just sunset) is coming and time your activities precisely.

This is a solidly useful app

If daylight is important to your activities you will find Skyclock invaluable.

There is peace in this app

You will have a greater understanding of the movements of the Earth and Sun with respect to each other.
