I love the upgrades. but, I cannot move the widgets on the dashboard, although I can add, delete and resize. :( ### 3/5 — Can’t close the initial window promoting the Gold subscription? *2026-10-12, version 2026.28* As the title states. The window won’t close. The app just returns to the onboarding question every time. Very confusing. Is this a paid-only app? Is this glitch? Or is this the free version of the app’s function? To ask a question, then show you a static page..? ### 4/5 — Unimpressed by the update but hope things will settle *2026-10-08* I have enjoyed this app for many years. Although the app support is amazingly good, I remain disappointed by recent changes. The succinct simple screens are now swamped with too many boxes and clutter and navigation is less obvious. Simple was good. **Developer response:** The new design is made to be flexible to support various new devices and form factors. It’s evolving fast. Your feedback is super valuable. I’ll be moving fast and polishing the new design over the coming updates. ### 5/5 — Very nice, responsive developer *2026-09-22, version 2026.27.5* I’ve really enjoyed the various ways to view sunrise and sunset info, the visuals are nice, the developer responsive. Great experience! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-09-19, version 2026.27.4* Does everything I need for sun rise, sunset, faces of the moon direction of rise and sets. Direction of shadows. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-09-19* Ganz toller Entwickler, der auf Probleme umgehend reagiert und diese zeitnah zu lösen versucht, und es in meinem Fall auch innerhalb von ein paar Tagen geschafft hat. Und sonst eine sehr schöne App die ständig weiterentwickelt, sehr informativ und optisch einfach super toll gemacht ist. ### 5/5 — Most beautiful widget I’ve ever seen with a better approach than other sun apps *2026-09-17, version 2026.27.2* Legit, I love the way the widget looks. Circle > dot on a graph looking thing.. Easier to visualize than other similar apps and widgets! ### 4/5 — Try it now *2026-09-17, version 2026.27.2* This is a beautiful app! I’ve had it for years and love the new update. You may think you don’t need all the information in this app, but really you do. 😁 ### 5/5 — Awesome App for Photographers! *2026-09-15, version 2026.27.2* As a photographer, I’ve been using this app for over a year to calculate the exact timing of the golden hour light for future photoshoots, and it’s never let me down! An excellent tool for any photographer looking to catch the best light. Highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — What happened to ur dick dad *2026-08-19, version 2026.26.3* Was it the herpes? ### 5/5 — Please add Russian language *2026-08-04, version 2026.26.1* Very please ### 5/5 — Sehr nützliche App *2026-06-24* Ob Sonnenanbeter, Fotograf oder Hobby-Astronom, die Informationen, die diese Apo liefert, sind sehr interessant, nützlich und genau. Die Zeiten der goldenen oder blauen Stunden erleichtert das Fotografieren und die Dämmerungszeiten helfen die richtigen Zeiten für Himmelsbeobachtungen zu finden. Tolle App, sehr zu empfehlen **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Rückmeldung! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir SolarWatch mit den Zeiten für goldene und blaue Stunden sowie für die Dämmerung so hilfreich ist. Genau dafür habe ich die App entwickelt. Danke dir für deine Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-06-23, version 2026.22* This is a solid app ### 5/5 — Following the sun as a spiritual energy *2026-06-19, version 2026.22* Solar watch allows me to track the sun as the one eye of the creator. In this way the warmth and the divine reaches my eyes as I follow throughout the day and within the seasons the divine nature of the sun. This always us all to find peace and tranquility. Especially before First light.. A time to prepare for the day. ### 5/5 — Ein Muss für alle, die Solar-Apps mögen *2026-06-14* Tolle App, die ständig weiterentwickelt wird. Die Geländedaten und die Sonnenfinsternisse sind hervorragend umgesetzt. Dazu kommt noch ein freundlicher Support, Hinweise werden gerne angenommen und schnell umgesetzt. Freue mich auf neue Updates die noch umgesetzt werden. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung! Ich freue mich sehr, dass dir SolarWatch mit den Geländedaten und den Sonnenfinsternissen so gut gefällt. Ebenso freut es mich, dass du den Support und die schnellen Verbesserungen hervorhebst. Ich nehme dein Feedback gern mit und arbeite weiter an neuen Updates. ### 5/5 — Tracking You Sun Couldn’t Be Easier *2026-06-10, version 2026.22* Solar Watch app is a beautifully design app that makes tracking the sun’s position, sunrise, sunset, and golden hour both simple and enjoyable. ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-06-02, version 2026.21* Simple widget current time. What’s up with evening golden hour? I can’t get it to prompt. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Payment *2026-10-07* Idk if this is something I did wrong or if it’s because of the app but I tried to buy the premium & I’ve been charged the $52 one time fee every month and it’s not going through like I don’t think any of them have actually gone through but now I can’t download any new apps because of this. I think the app should at least have a way to cancel your purchase even if it’s not their fault (idk why it’s happening) I should be able to cancel this purchase since clearly it’s not working **Developer response:** Hello there, SolarWatch does not have any product that costs $52. This sounds like there is another issue. SolarWatch has a “Manage Purchases” button as the second item in the Settings screen which lets users cancel and/or change their plans. If you could send me an email using the “report a bug” button in the app, I can see your account and see if there have been any charges from SolarWatch. At any rate, I’d recommend you use https://reportaproblem.apple.com to get a refund for those spurious charges. I can guarantee you they were not SolarWatch. ### 1/5 — Why did you change it?! *2026-09-19, version 2026.27.4* This was an easy five star rating until about a week ago, when the entire layout of the app changed. Now it is sluggish, non-intuitive and unattractive. Bring back the app that I gladly paid for, or at least give us the ability to toggle between the old view and this new “trying to be too much like Apple” view that you’ve implemented. ### 1/5 — AI in your face *2026-05-31, version 2026.21* You are instantly greeted with an AI image of a woman and asked to subscribe before you can use the app.... ### 1/5 — No I do not want to subscribe BEFORE I SET UP *2026-05-28, version 2026.20* When I opened the app, I got bombarded by a screen with no x asking me to subscribe to premium ### 1/5 — Since iOS update doesn’t work on iWatch *2026-01-23, version 2026.16* Once a must have and go to app this is now useless and has been deleted. ### 1/5 — Pay wall *2026-01-02, version 2026.15* Unable to avoid the free trial which is another thing to cancel if you change your mind and there doesn’t appear to be a free version with adds, as it’s more a curiosity I’ll pass due to this ### 1/5 — Fonction AR ne fonctionne plus *2025-12-04* Elle fonctionnait... puis plus. Le développeur ne répond pas aux mails 👎👎👎 **Developer response:** La fonctionnalité de réalité augmentée a été entièrement réimplémentée depuis ce test. J'ai testé la caméra AR sur iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max et iPhone Air et je n'ai rencontré aucun problème. Si vous rencontrez le moindre souci, merci de me contacter via la fonction de signalement de bugs dans l'application afin que nous puissions trouver rapidement une solution. Cordialement de Berlin. ### 1/5 — Приложение не работает *2025-11-20* Бесконечно идет кастомизация приложения после ответа на второй вопрос. ### 1/5 — Isn’t there an alarm feature for when sunsets? *2025-09-28, version 2026.1.1* I purchased a single month to try it out as it appeared to have the ability to create and sound an alarm for when the sun sets. It even appears to choose a sound. But now it appears to only send you a notification??? Maybe this isn’t the product I thought it was. After receiving the developer response: I do not see even notifications being presented to me, even though notifications are allowed for this app. Overall, this is not working for me. ### 1/5 — Developer keeps getting rid of features from the free tier!!!! *2024-11-09* No more weather on widget??? time to uninstall **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I totally understand your frustration. It was not an easy decision for me. Unfortunately the weather data is very expensive and keeps getting more expensive. It reached a point where it was not sustainable anymore. Thanks for your understanding. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 1 *2026-10-30* This is by far the best app you can use, I’ve tried many similar apps the fail to alarm and or just don’t have sufficient tracking. **Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback. I’m glad SolarWatch’s alarms and tracking stand out compared with other apps you’ve tried. ### 5/5 — New format is way better now *2026-10-29* Before it was terrible and hard to navigate now it’s way easier and enjoyable to look the data without the hassle of trying to figure out how to do things **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad the new design is easier to navigate and makes viewing the data more enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Great list of data points *2026-10-25* Long time user, one of the only apps with all the data points you want presented in a clean and logical way. Fantastic stuff. **Developer response:** Thank you for being a longtime user. I’m glad you find the data points comprehensive and the layout clean and logical. I really appreciate your support and kind feedback. ### 5/5 — Au 🌞 top 👍 *2026-10-20* Super appli 🌈 très complète avec un big boss formidable et très réactif et un tarif plus que raisonnable j’ai opté pour un achat à vie je pense avoir fait le bon choix vue la qualité du produit (que dieu nous gardes) 👍👏🙏🏻☀️ **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe avis et pour votre confiance avec l’achat à vie. Je suis ravi que vous trouviez l’application complète, de qualité et proposée à un tarif raisonnable. Votre soutien et vos mots sur ma réactivité me font très plaisir. Merci encore ! ### 5/5 — Schön und gut *2026-10-16* Sehr gut konzipierte App, wenn es nicht nur um Sonnenauf- und untergang geht. Dämmerungszeiten, Blaue und Goldene Stunde, Höchststand, all das wird präzise angegeben. Besonders nützlich ist für mich , dass dabei auch des Gelände berücksichtigt wird; sogar den Schattenwurf kann ich vorab einschätzen .Das alles für all meine Reiseziele. Für Fotografie und Astro ist die App für mich ohne Konkurrenz. Sehr erfreulich, dass man dabei selbst bestimmen kann, welche Daten angezeigt werden sollen. Noch dazu ist die App grafisch hervorragend gestaltet und optisch eine Wohltat. Gerne bin ich bereit, dafür den Programmierer auch zu entlohnen. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für diese ausführliche und wertschätzende Bewertung. Es freut mich sehr, dass Ihnen besonders die Dämmerungszeiten, die Blaue und Goldene Stunde, die Geländeberechnung sowie die individuell anpassbare Anzeige bei Fotografie, Astro und auf Reisen helfen. Auch Ihr Lob zur grafischen Gestaltung und Ihre Bereitschaft, meine Arbeit zu unterstützen, bedeuten mir viel. ### 5/5 — First class, Comprehensive information *2026-10-15, version 2026.28* This remarkable app localizes for wherever you may be at the moment and presents instantaneous, accurate past, current and future information about the very source of life on our planet. ### 5/5 — Really useful *2026-10-07* Great that the free components continue to be supported. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. In the history of SolarWatch since 2017, I only ever made a single free featured paid and that was weather data since the weather data costs kept increasing and I could not afford it for free users anymore. Every other paid feature has been some new addition and almost all had some free core with added paid extra data. With the latest redesign a lot of the features moved around. I’m working on making things easier to find again. Please send me a bug report from the app settings about what free features are gone now. ### 5/5 — My favorite app! *2026-10-06, version 2026.27.8* I check Solar Watch every morning and I love all the data it provides. I live just below the Arctic Circle, where we get extremes of daylight and darkness, so it’s really fun to track the rapid changes. I never experience any bugs in the app. Great job! ### 5/5 — Opinion *2026-10-03, version 2026.27.7* Best app about sunrise and sunset ### 5/5 — Love a good sunrise *2026-09-25, version 2026.27.5* I love to wake up early enough to catch a gorgeous sunrise and this app is great for timing. I love how it adjusts the golden hours based on location. When I'm in Alaska, sunset is a lot longer than when I'm Louisiana. Highly recommend it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
