### 5/5 — just what i wanted

*2020-06-20*

it's strange to me how many similar apps wont let me see the sunset times for more than one day ON THE SAME SCREEN. but this one does!

### 2/5 — No settings

*2019-11-14*

Disappointed there is no customizable settings.

### 1/5 — Full screen ads and cheaply done

*2015-03-19*

Cheaply done app. It not speaking to the eye at all. And to top it off, to put the cherry on top, it has full screen ads. I don't remember if I paid for this app or not. I'll check in iTunes, but if I did and they have full screen ads, I'll be requesting my money back from Apple. 'Cause this would be a rip off.

### 1/5 — Ruim

*2014-08-05*

Propaganda parece mais que o Apple...ruim

### 1/5 — Ads can't close

*2014-07-24*

Can't even open the app because of the first pop up ads

### 2/5 — Ads

*2014-07-14*

Stupid ads don't close.

### 1/5 — What a load of crap app

*2014-07-07, version 1.1*

It wastes more of your time trying to download other apps than doing what it should be doing. It was so annoying & frustrating that I had to delete this crap app immediately.

### 1/5 — YUP ads make it useless

*2014-06-19*

Enough said.

### 1/5 — Horrible!!!

*2014-06-17, version 1.1*

This little piece of crap showed me the main screen for all of 5 seconds, then switched to an advertisement screen and wouldn't. Let me back into the main app.  Immediate deletion.

### 1/5 — Boo

*2014-05-14, version 1.1*

To many flipping adds !
