Simple and easy to read. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the review. You can change this to 12 hours in the settings screen. You can access settings by tapping the small settings cog icon in the top right corner. Please reach out if you have issues. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Awesome for Fishing and Outdoorsmen *2023-04-08* Absolutely love this app. As someone who likes to get on the water for fishing right when the sun is coming up, I can check ahead on whatever location I’m heading to and know exactly when to leave. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-03-27* Love this app! So easy to use and great info! Can’t wait to plan a romantic sunrise date! ### 5/5 — Favorite app for sunrise/sunset *2023-03-27* My favorite part about this app is it is very simple and exactly what I need! I like to check the sunrise the night before so I can plan my morning walk before I start my day. There aren’t any ads which I find it hard to come across in an app. ### 5/5 — Love seeing the sunrise times at a glance *2023-03-22* This app is really helping me with planning my days, love the straightforward list of times and also, the fact that I can set notifications to tell me of the sunrise times. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from this app. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-03-20* Great app - helps with SAD to see when brighter days are coming, something other weather apps typically don’t have. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2023-03-20* Love it! ### 5/5 — Hey Sunrise *2023-03-17* Great anytime but I use it a lot while on vacation scheduling activities, dinner reservations when you want to know when sunset is etc. Also useful for fisherman and hunters, sports league scheduling, golfer … pretty useful for planning any future outdoor event. ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2023-03-15* Whether it’s for photography and catching the golden hour, figuring out best time to run before sunset or just curious of sunrise/ sunset times, this app is so easy to use with great additional features like notifications and a Home Screen widget. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Best sunrise and sunset times app *2023-03-09* This is the best app I have used for tracking sunrise and sunset times. It’s easy to use and beautifully designed. Plus it’s free with no ads. I use it daily to know when the best time to go for a run is (morning or evening after work). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unfortunately *2025-06-25* It is quite unfortunate the alerts are no longer free ### 1/5 — Can’t change time *2023-09-18* Don’t want military time ie 16:00 hrs. Uninstall **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the review. You can change this to 12 hours in the settings screen. You can access settings by tapping the small settings cog icon in the top right corner. Please reach out if you have issues. Thanks! ### 3/5 — The alarm selection is limited *2026-06-06* The alarms basically suck. ### 4/5 — almost there *2025-01-30* In app purchase price is one of the most reasonable of the sunrise/sunset apps that I looked at. And I'm happy that the app has widgets! I have a few wish list items to make it 5 star. (1) Being able to set a preference for which view the app starts at. Some people might want the calendar table at startup, but I'd prefer to start with the Today view. (2) I use my tablet in portrait mode, so every time I start the app, I have to tap to get rid of the location pane, as it blocks the data pane. A minor annoyance, I know. As it is, I don't toggle locations, so it'd be fine if the location choices were in the settings menu. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. This is great feedback, I will take it into consideration for future releases. ### 4/5 — Pro member features could be better *2025-01-10* App is missing dawn and dusk times. ### 4/5 — Was excited now a bit bummed 🫤 *2024-03-22* I had this app on my android and loved it. I waited to switch to the iPhone because I couldn’t find it…then when I did it was a paid version which I did super excited that I found it -BUT it doesn’t let you choose your alarm anymore. I used to have my own sound playing. 🥲So I’m giving it 4 instead of 5 because on this paid version I don’t have the benefits I did on the free version on android. Otherwise, it’s still the best because you can adjust the alarm ⏰ time. Still worth the $3 but miss my alarm sound. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the review. So sorry to disappoint — unfortunately the reason for the missing alarm is a platform limitation. iOS does not have any mechanism for developers to build alarm apps in the same way that Android does. Nonetheless, I am working on a workaround right now that should be almost functionally equivalent to the Android behavior. Stay tuned! ### 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 *2025-08-01* Lots of information and locations. Accurate and nice and easy to use. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I'm thrilled to hear you find the app accurate and user-friendly. If you have any suggestions or need help, feel free to reach out! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — La meilleure *2025-07-24* Merci ❤️ ### 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* Great app ! Easy to use and good to have knowledge of times so easily available ### 5/5 — Love this app 🙌 *2025-04-17* Found this App really useful when I was travelling to the other side of the world! ### 5/5 — The new maps feature is chef’s kiss *2025-04-15* this app has always been super simple and useful for me, but the new maps feature has added so much. I’ve been using it when searching for a new house to figure out where the sun will be during the day. As an avid gardener, this is super useful and exciting when looking at potential houses.. not to mention the reasonable one time purchase prices 🙌🏼 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-10-07* Simple straightforward design that makes it easy to use—important for someone who does not drive in the dark to plan appointments. **Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review, glad you like it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
