Extremely flexible and powerful sky event tracker

Great app with a lot of features and zero nonsense. The ability to create very precisely-timed notifications has been very useful to me. Also, the availability of many different widgets has made getting the exact data I want very easy. Invaluable app for moon, sun, and solstice observers!

Woohoo the app was updated and looks great

I have been using sundial for years and was very pleased that it has been rewritten in swift. It loads fast and looks great on the watch and phone. Thank you for keeping the app current.

Apple watch complication doesn’t work

Installed sundial+ and allowed location always in iphone settings. Apple Watch complication doesn’t work because it can’t locate me. Tried turning watch off and on again, didn’t help. Tried going back to classic sundial, now that complication doesn’t work either

Hi again. Still would like to debug and resolve your issue by connecting on e-mail. Please open Sundial+ on your iPhone, touch the Settings icon in the bottom right toolbar, scroll down and find "Contact the Developer" and send me the info contained in there + a screenshot from your watch. Thanks!

Best for solar times and moon phases

Great app! One of my favorite features is how it shows the percentage elapsed of daytime and nighttime depending on where the sun is, it really helps me feel time passing in a real way and make the rest of the day meaningful. The widgets are awesome, whole app is customizable to exactly what you want to see, and anything you could want from the interface, the creator has already thought of. Love it

Great App, Even Better Developer

I’ve used the original Sundial app for several years and was excited to try Sundial+ when it was released. The developer generously offered existing users a free 3-month trial of the new version, with no automatic subscription renewal. Sundial+ has some great improvements and provides an impressive amount of detailed solar and lunar information, all readily accessible in one place.

Shortly after installing it, I ran into a display issue and emailed the developer, Mike. To my surprise, he responded within a minute or two, correctly identified the cause, and suggested a simple workaround that fixed the problem immediately. He had already submitted an update to Apple to address the issue permanently.

When the update was released, Mike personally emailed me again to let me know the fix was available in the App Store.

I’ve always loved Sundial, but that kind of responsiveness and follow-through really impressed me. It’s refreshing to see a developer who is so involved with his app and genuinely attentive to feedback. Happy to support Sundial+ and highly recommend it!

Sundial + Sunrise

I’ve been using the original for as long as I can remember, it’s great to learn and follow all the information… I will definitely opt in for the yearly subscription. Thanks for all your hard work.

Very handy sun-moon calendar

Packed with options and features, but easy to navigate. I used VelaClock for years, got attached to that app. Now it’s obsoleted, and am making friends with Sundial+

Wonderful App

My go-to app for many years. All kinds of information but also simple if you just want dawn and sunrise or phases of the moon. Just as useful app should be.

Eigentlich nur ein Update

Eine neue Version, die einige neue Funktionen enthält, aber eigentlich bei näherer Betrachtung nur ein Update der alten App ist. Bitte nicht falsch verstehen, ich nutze diese App täglich und schätze sie sehr. Aber ich hätte lieber einmal für die neue Version bezahlt, als sie zu abonnieren.

Hallo noch einmal. Hier sind einige neue Funktionen in Sundial+, die man leicht übersehen könnte: Es gibt 12 zusätzliche Alarmtypen, darunter Benachrichtigungen für die „Goldene Stunde“, die „Blaue Stunde“, verschiedene Mondphasen (wie die Mondsichel) sowie das „Equilux“. Die Komplikationen und Widgets für die Apple Watch sind jetzt vollständig anpassbar. Auch die Alarme lassen sich nun detaillierter konfigurieren – etwa mit eigenen Tönen und Bildern oder der Option, sie als echten Weckalarm auszulösen. Zudem lässt sich der Startbildschirm der iPhone-/iPad-App individuell gestalten, sodass genau die Daten angezeigt werden, die für dich am wichtigsten sind. Außerdem ist die App jetzt in vielen weiteren Sprachen verfügbar. Ich verstehe deinen Frust bezüglich des Abonnement-Modells im Vergleich zu einer Einmalzahlung. Doch hinter Sundial+ stecken zwei Jahre Arbeit, in denen die App von Grund auf neu entwickelt wurde. Abonnements helfen dabei, diese Zeitinvestition zu decken und die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung zu finanzieren. Ehrlich gesagt decken die Einnahmen nicht einmal annähernd den Zeitaufwand, den ich in das Projekt gesteckt habe. Sundial und Sundial+ sind Nischen-Apps mit einer kleinen Nutzerbasis. Ich arbeite weiterhin an Sundial+, weil mir die Entwicklung Freude bereitet und ich das positive Feedback meiner engagierten Nutzer sehr schätze. Konstruktive Rückmeldungen nehme ich sehr ernst – die Updates von Sundial+ 1.1 bis 1.4 basieren allesamt darauf. Ich habe noch viele Verbesserungen geplant und werde Sundial+ stetig weiterentwickeln. Eine 3-Sterne-Bewertung, nur weil dir das Preismodell nicht zusagt, ist für einen kleinen unabhängigen Entwickler wie mich jedoch entmutigend – zumal ich im deutschen App Store bisher keine weiteren Bewertungen habe. Mir sind Ehrlichkeit und Transparenz sehr wichtig. Ich habe zudem das Problem behoben, das bei dir zuvor im Zusammenhang mit dem App-Layout auftrat, wenn auf bestimmten Geräten Funktionen wie „Ränder anzeigen“ (Show Borders) oder „Anzeigezoom“ (Display Zoom) aktiviert waren. Falls du weitere Ideen hast oder auf Probleme stößt, melde dich bitte per E-Mail unter help@sundialapp.com. Vielen Dank!

Disappointing switch to subscription model

I’m disappointed that another app is going down the monthly and annual subscription route. The 3 month trial for existing paid supporters doesn’t feel much like a benefit. I’ll happily keep using the previous version.

Just to clarify: anyone who purchased Sundial classic within the last year gets a full year of Sundial+ free. Those who purchased more than a year ago get a three-month free trial. I’m an independent developer, and Sundial+ represents two years of work rebuilding the app from the ground up. Subscriptions help pay for that investment of time and support continued development. Sundial classic remains available, with everything you purchased, and I’m glad you’re happy to keep using it. That’s exactly why I’ve kept it available. A two-star review of a separate, optional app feels a little harsh when your existing app still does what you paid for.

Update - great job.

I am really enjoying the Sundial+ app. The latest update has resolved the accessibility issues that I had noticed when I first got the app. It now responds to my accessibility settings making it much easier to use. Thank you.

Update: fix is in the App Store now with version 1.2. Hi. That display issue may be caused by having the "Show Borders" or Display Zoom accessibility setting enabled. I submitted a fix for this to the App Store Thursday evening. The review is pending, so in the meantime turning this off is a work around. I am so sorry for the trouble. I'll report back here when the fix is available.

Solid Rise/Set Utility with Good Support

This is a nice little app, with lots of information. Once you’ve installed it, customize one extra homepage with only the information you want to see at a glance. I found this was a good way to get started. Highly recommended. Highly responsive developer who fixes things quickly. Give it a try.

A Truly Fine Tool

I have been with Sundial for years. I welcomed this Sundial+ upgraded version and immediately purchased it. Given the quality of work, the fee isn’t even a question to me. Support has always been excellent and frankly I use the tool several times daily. It is particularly useful to me for planning nature and dogs walks. It is well designed and highly functional. I thank the Sundial team and hope to see this product go forward for many years. Great job.

Widget Notch bug

Hi, things are going well, but there is a bug where the circle still shows up when I select the green notch for the sundial widget on a tinted iPad background. Can you remove the circle?

Hi Raindrop :-). Fixed in version 1.2 now in the app store. Could you let me know if this looks good on your end, and thanks for letting me know about the issue. BTW, I made the notch the default for Just the basics, Dials with Extra, and Dials and Rise/Set Times widgets. This will only apply to new widgets, but I think they have large enough dials for the notch to work well.

Awesome app!

This app is awesome! I love every bit of it! The upgrade from the original is so much better and it is so worth the money! Thank you so much for this app!
