I had to change to a different view. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-11, version 10.16* I really like the information and how it’s presented in an easy to use interface ### 5/5 — Fan-freakin’-tastic *2026-07-09, version 10.16* The genius of some people. I like to walk at sunrise and prepare to set out about 30 minutes prior to the event. Until I stumbled across this app it’s been a minor pain in the derrière keeping up with time of sunrise from week to week but this app sounds an alarm, I get dressed, and I walk out the door. Seriously cool, boys and girls. UPDATE: this app would be a bit cooler if it had an owl’s hoot for use as an alarm for sunset and maybe a slightly different one for moonrise. ### 2/5 — Unfortunately not working on Apple Watch anymore *2026-07-09* The current update might have fixed issues with Watch OS 27, however, despite several reinstalls and even resetting the watch, the app does not work anymore ☹️. ### 5/5 — Extra features are a one-time payment only! *2026-07-05, version 10.16* I love this app format. It has helped me adapt to changing weather and seasons naturally, sleep better, and learn about my environment. The one-time payment (instead of a subscription) for extra features is such a cool move! ### 5/5 — Honest as they come *2026-07-02, version 10.15* No subscriptions ✨Helped me keep track when it is time to slow down, and when to appreciate the sunrise. Not to mention I reassure my little one when the moon is coming 💕 ### 5/5 — Great App & Widgets!! *2026-06-29, version 10.15* Getting the time of sunset and of moonrise in the same app is so lovely for watching the full moon rise each month! Thank you xoxo 💖💝💕 ### 5/5 — Fun and totally worth the purchase. *2026-06-21, version 10.14* Fun and totally worth the purchase. ### 5/5 — I use this everyday! *2026-06-21, version 10.14* Love this app! The visuals, the notifications! I honor the sunrise and sunset with a prayerful nod, and this app is perfect for notifiying me for that. Same with New Moons and Full Moons, easy to honor with the notifications. Also love looking how much time I have left for outdoor activities- how much longer will it be light outside. Even how much light is left to take the trash out to the curb. Yes, I actually have checked for that, lol! Honoring the natural cycles of days and nights, full moons, new moons, equinoxes, solstices, all made easy with this app! ### 5/5 — Simply The Best *2026-06-20, version 10.14* Love this app so much, was a little confusing at first but I reached out to the developer and even though my message got sent to their spam they still found it and were super nice and informative and helped me fix the notification issue I was having. Can’t say enough good things about it, I have widgets on both my iPad and iPhone home and lock screens and on my watch face as well. Literally no issues within the app itself ever and the amount of customization for the widgets is just crazy. Thank you guys so much for making this, it’s been extremely helpful not only for planning my day on the spot but planning for trips/events months in advance! My phone updated by itself recently and offloaded the app and when I tried to redownload it wasn’t in the appstore. I was sooo scared that the app got pulled and also confused as to why, but I am happy to see that it’s back and was only gone for updates! ### 5/5 — Very nice app! *2026-06-17, version 10.13* This app is a total smash hit for me. The sundial ring is a must have for Apple Watch complications. It totally replaces other sun and moon apps. I really like all those widgets and complications. Thank you so much for the app. ### 5/5 — Super Useful *2026-05-29, version 10.12* I rely on this app to time my hikes with my dogs at dawn and dusk. ### 5/5 — Elegant design *2026-05-20, version 10.12* This app is technically, graphically, and tactile-ly satisfying, a pleasure to use, a fine instrument. ### 3/5 — Too Small for a standard size iPad *2026-05-11, version 10.12* Great idea however on my standard size iPad the circular graph/diagram is too small and text overlaps too see easily. It is nothing like the preview in the App Store ### 5/5 — So amazing! All I could want *2026-05-08, version 10.12* I got the app free part many years ago and appreciated the very useful data, especially on the different twilights, and the intuitive visual displays. Only recently I bought the add-on pack, and it’s certainly worth the small one time fee. For me it was the complications and widgets. These are intensely configurable. I can’t imagine anything that isn’t coveted. You could never match the data or the info density with any other app widget or combo of widgets I’ve seen. Of course when I needed alerts they were as good as all the others. I love everything about this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No more watch app *2026-07-19, version 10.16* This was great until they removed it from the watch. I cannot use this on my watch anymore. ### 1/5 — Watch apps *2026-07-17, version 10.16* I paid to have the watch apps and now it was removed so I can more to get the watch app back. This is very disappointing as I used this everyday and it was great. ### 1/5 — Wrong *2026-07-15, version 10.16* Does not give accurate solar time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work on Apple WatchOS 26.5 *2026-06-17, version 10.13* Does not work on Apple WatchOS 26.5 since latest update of the Sundial app. ### 1/5 — No Support *2026-05-07, version 10.12* I purchased this app in full & yet the watch app version refuses to recognise the purchase. Restarts etc have been unsuccessful. I’ve contacted support twice now (first time was ~ two weeks ago) and I’m still yet to hear even a word in response. ### 1/5 — Actually there is no free trial at all *2026-03-08, version 10.12* Downloaded this app this afternoon and tried to set it up just before going to bed. It said: “Sundial Extras Trial Ended Your 3 day trial of Sundial Extras and unlimited Sundial alerts has ended. If you would like to enable or create a new alert, please unlock Sundial Extras.” They want $ for me to try the app, lol. Nah, I’m good. Deleted. ### 1/5 — PAY FOR THE SUN???? *2025-12-31, version 10.12* HOW COULD A MF THINK TO PAYWALL THE SUN. Pay me 20 bucks and ill text you when I see a cloud outside. ### 1/5 — Used to be free *2025-11-29, version 10.12* Some years ago this app allowed notifications in the free version. Not anymore. Useless. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2025-11-05, version 10.12* I shelled out $15 for this app so I could its complications to my Apple Watch. It was advertised that I could add complications to my Apple Watch if I paid for the app. That seems to have been a false statement. This doesn’t appear to be compatible with my Apple Watch. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-26, version 10.12* You guys keep deleting my review. As someone below mentioned they bait you with free customizations and then you have the widget on your lock screen for a day before it disappears and the app tries to force a subscription. I kept this app on my phone so I could write a review & come to an understanding with the developers but it seems they would prefer to keep scamming people and deleting honest ratings of their app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I use this everyday! *2026-08-19, version 10.16* Love this app!

Also good to know the other end since I am walking early as well. Love the format too.

Always getting updated. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-20, version 10.16* The best app of its type that is out there. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny! *2026-07-18, version 10.16* I use the alarms daily for two hours before solar noon, solar noon itself, and ten minutes before sunset. I wouldn’t be without it! There’s no other app that will do what I need. ### 5/5 — Cool Free app. *2026-07-16, version 10.16* Easy to use. It found my location and immediately displayed a nicely designed graphic clearly indicating Sun/moon rise and set, along with the same info written out. My wish list would start with being able to display past and future times. Thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
