### 3/5 — The alarm selection is limited

*2026-06-06*

The alarms basically suck.

### 5/5 — The best alarm for sunrise

*2026-02-11*

Everyone needs to download this app. I feel much better waking and resting along with natures circadian rythm. No need to follow “5am” plans to make the best out of your day.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2026-02-01*

The free version only allows for notifications at solar noon, which is not what I wanted. Apple charged me a bit more than $5 just once and now it gives me alarms at sunrise and sunset, which is exactly what I wanted. You can set it to any alarm sound you want, which is nice.

### 5/5 — 日の出、日の入り

*2025-12-10*

分かりやすさが、良い

### 5/5 — Nice to use

### 5/5 — La meilleure

### 1/5 — Unfortunately

*2025-06-25*

It is quite unfortunate the alerts are no longer free

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-04-18*

Brilliant for hiking if you want to reach a certain spot for sunrise

### 5/5 — Sunrise/Sunset

*2025-04-18*

### 5/5 — Love this app 🙌

*2025-04-17*
