### 3/5 — Color Scheme

*2022-11-09, version 1.2.0*

Why on earth did you choose such a dark color for the oceans?  When the dark night shade passes over them it is difficult to determine exactly the day/night boundaries.

### 2/5 — As useful as a chocolate teapot

*2020-06-22*

Err... thanks, atleast it was free

### 1/5 — Sad

*2019-09-07*

Why did I need to shut down the phone to exit this app?

### 5/5 — Just one thing

*2017-11-24, version 1.2.0*

Please make a zoom-in/zoom-out feature!

### 5/5 — Important contribution

*2016-08-13*

If you need to know the light-dark distribution and terminator-line shifting position across the globe, this is a really helpful app.
Highly recommended for HF telecoms interested people.
Suggested improvement: show sun position please ! 

Thanks go to the developers for making it available on iOS for free

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2015-10-21*

Does exactly what it says it does.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2014-03-22, version 1.1.0*

I have used this app for a long time now. Check it daly and sometimes several times during the day. When watching the news on TV it is easy to use this app to check the region to see if it is currently daylight there. I like it so much that I'd like to pay for it but there isn't a way to do so.

### 3/5 — Good, but not great

*2012-09-26, version 1.0.4*

Would be better if it had a zoom function and real time weather overlay.  Graphics are nice.

### 5/5 — IPad version please

*2012-02-07, version 1.0.4*

Can you make an ipad version of this app please?

### 1/5 — Kind of pointless

*2011-12-12, version 1.0.4*

Kind of pointless.
