## What is Sunrise?

Experience the natural light phases of the day right on your screen. Whether it is sunrise, golden hour, or sunset, the widget greets you with a calm and inspiring scene every time you glance at your device. It also displays a clear digital clock on the front.

Your Sunrise widget combines functionality with beauty. You can choose to display the digital clock alongside stunning dynamic backgrounds. Subtle details appear in the distance, such as a sailboat, a fishing boat, or even a surprise UFO in the sky. The widget provides a moment of calm while showing the current time in a large, easy-to-read font.

Track your day like never before. Just like battery life on your device, the widget can show the percentage of the current day that has already passed. Your personalized Sunrise widget can be placed on your iOS home screen in small, medium, or large sizes. You can choose up to six widgets to display and place them anywhere to see the current time or day progress at a glance.

Enjoy the golden hour, the first hour after sunrise, and the last hour of light before sunset, when natural light is at its warmest. The app is designed for anyone who wants to stay aware of the day’s progression and be greeted each time they use their device.

This premium and useful app works across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

### 1/5 — Not what I was expecting

*2020-10-30*

Didn’t figure out how to get widgets to display the time information I was hoping it would display. The app seems to be some sort of settings page but it has few options.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Sorry you have had this bad experience.
Add a widget in IOS 14 is very easy.
1. Long press on your home screen.
2. And the top of your screen you see the "+" icon. Tap on this button.
3. Search for the "Sunrise" widget.
4. Choose your favorite widget size. And tap to add the new widget to your home screen.

In the Sunrise app, you can customize it to your personal style. And when you install it for the first time, it should show you the current time in the widget.

If you need any further help, please let me know at https://www.stefanvd.net/support/ and choose the topic "Mobile". 

Thanks,
