Best app for local solar measurements
I love SOL! I had it on my iPhone for many years until it was discontinued. Now only on my iPad, and it is excellent!
Intuitive and informative data about the current status of the Sun. Best thing I like is changing the location and observing the Sun and how it appears much different. You can also time travel and see what the Sun will be like for any date past or present. Cool!

Still using this app after more than 10 years‼️
Favorite feature: set alarm for best time to go for a hike. Feature request: shadow of gnomon should indicate an approximate sundial effect. Recently learned: You need to swipe the area under the date to show more info. Double-tap that to start or start a newsfeed animation.
Great Alarms & Good UI
I like to be outside around sunrise and sunset every day so with its alarms you can offset to solar events it’s great.
Arctic Day Light
Sol Sun Clock is an invaluable resource for my life in the Arctic. Day light changes radically from winter’s twenty one hours of darkness to summer’s twenty four hours of direct sunlight. Knowing the times of sunrise and sunset is critical for photographic interests as well as knowing what light can be expected through each day of the year. The Sol Sun Clock is the most frequently used app of all apps in my iPhone. Thank you for your support and service. AL7MI (Amateur Radio Station Call Sign)

Perfect & Simple
I’ve been using this app for about 15 years, at first for timing photography during the golden hour, and now also for making sure I’m or there in the fresh air closer to midday for a healthy regulated circadian rhythm.
Intuitive and just works
I wish it had UVB rise and set times (40 degrees) kind of like the golden hour times. Golden hour maxes out at 20 degrees so it can’t be used for this the way it’s programmed.
I also wish it had widgets.
Other than that it’s one of the very best apps out there.
I have to use a combination of Sunrise Sunset app, SolarWatch app, Daylight % app, Sun Exposure app, and this app, to get all the data I need.

This app rules
This app has been a constant on my iPhone for over 10 years and I love it
J’adore!
J’adore cette application, je l’utilise régulièrement depuis plusieurs années, pour savoir à quelle heure le soleil se couche, et à quelle heure le soleil se lève, pour les sorties en kayak ou paddleboard. Aussi pour les marches et pour la photographie - car vous pouvez savoir quand est l’heure bleue ou le golden hour. Je recommande fortement cette application, car vous pouvez en plus savoir à quelle heure le soleil se lève dans d’autres villes. Ça aide avec le planning.

Long Time Quality
For years, I’ve used this app to plot daylight and nighttime hours as well as the time in between. I’ve also taken many screen shots of the app in various states to regale friends. I really hope the publisher will continue to update the app … but I know nothing is forever. I would gladly pay to continue to have this app in my library. Thanks, Juggleware!

One of my favorite apps of all time
Easy to use, simple, and straightforward, and I’m surprised at all the uses I have found for it – – between travel planning, photography, and just organizing my day outdoors.
My most used app
This app is perfection. It is easy to use and easy to understand. I can work out daytimes and sunsets of anywhere in the world at any time. It does everything simply and perfectly.
Super cool app
I use this app frequently and it is incredibly intuitive, user friendly, and very informative. Thank you for bringing this fine app forward. jmb
Perfect
I believe static times aren’t how we were meant to operate. I now have an astronomical dawn alarm with options to offset for hunting trips.
Only note is I had to use a search engine and found your webpage which linked to the app store - perhaps add some extra keywords to the App Store listing to help others in the search? (First/last light, hunting alarm etc).
Thanks!

simple, beautiful, elegant!
i hope this app stays for a long time—been using since 2013 and still love its simplicity and graphic beauty. i like the alarms, i use to stay in tune w/ solar noon and sunset. the round graphic helps me digest the phases of light, is fun to use.
Lifesaving
If only I let this app influence my actual life more than I have. I plan to write about this because it is so important not to let the clock rule our lives.
Fix Needed
I’ve been using this app for several years now. Noticed after updating my iPhone to IOS 18.0, that selecting a day other than today is not correct…seems to be a month ahead. For example, if I want to check what time Sunrise occurs on October 28th, I have to select September 28th to get the correct time.

Golden Hour
I love this app. I am alerted when the golden hour is happening which is a great time to take pictures. It indicates the hours in the day and night and the seasons.
Best app ever!
One of my most indispensable apps. The interface is user-friendly and the information is unbelievable. I’m a photographer and an earth scientist, and I can’t even begin to explain how valuable this app is. If I have a smart device, this app will be on it!
Simple yet useful
A surprisingly useful little app. Find solar noon and apply sunblock before you cook. Use it to find the right time to take scenic photos. I imagine there are other uses as well. Simple to use also. 2 years later App is still under active development. The interface has been tweaked a bit to add some polish. Still very good at what it does. Sometimes an app doesn't need to have a million different functions. Simple can be awesome.
A few years later: still awesome, still being polished. Super app for photography.

One of my favourite apps on my phone
I love this app and use it daily. It makes it simple for a modern man like me to return to his natural element and be in tune with the natural rhythm of life through rediscovering “God’s time” as I like to call it.
