Said sunrise would be “great” and 75% so I got up super early, saw that it was really humid and foggy outside, decided to go with the app’s prediction anyway and don’t even see the sun because there’s so many clouds. The app must not take into account dew point which is probably the most important gauge? ### 4/5 — Awesome App *2026-07-08, version 11.2.6* I never review anything, but this app deserves it. I use it numerous times a day. Even the free version is great. ### 4/5 — Excellent App! But One Issue… *2026-05-31, version 11.2.3* This is one of the best apps for sunrise and sunset for photography for the iPhone and iPad! Love how it factors in all of the aspects of the weather and location! I wish that I could say this for Apple TV 4K. The app loses my location after the recent update. Now all I have is questions of why it’s not factoring in. I don’t get this glitch in Apple TV 4K. Please help! ### 2/5 — Started off good *2026-05-12, version 11.2.2* I’ve used this app for a long time. It use to be fairly accurate. After a few recent updates it hasn’t been accurate at all. Disappointing. As a photographer it was a good tool to have. Now I’m using apps like SkyCandy to get information. ### 5/5 — Nice companion *2026-04-12, version 11.1.16* This app is a nice little companion to help me with determining whether or not I’m going to spend the time driving over an hour each way to capture a sunrise or sunset. The higher the %, the more likely I’m going to go. I do understand the app’s limitations based off of the ever changing weather, it does help me out a lot. ### 5/5 — Update to my review a few months ago *2026-04-11, version 11.1.18* This an update to my review a few months ago. It appears the watch complication issue has now been fully resolved as this updates perfectly with the upcoming sunrise or sunset. The app is wonderful, I have used the prediction of the day to plan out a blue hour sunset photoshoot recently thanks to the free app. Great app thank you ### 5/5 — Information *2026-04-01, version 11.1.16* gives all the info you could ask for in one app!! ### 5/5 — Optional *2026-03-30, version 11.1.16* Optimal ### 5/5 — Juston *2026-03-30, version 11.1.16* PNG ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was good but now… *2026-08-03, version 11.3* Was once a great app for seeing where the sun was rising/setting. Now it’s a paid feature absolutely rubbish ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-15, version 11.2.7* This is a scam. So sad ### 1/5 — cap *2026-06-07, version 11.2.4* it said good but it not good ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-04-29, version 11.2.1* Predictions are never accurate. Right now my location shows 85% at sunrise and it’s so overcast and cloudy that zero sun is coming through. Typical for this app. Total garbage. ### 1/5 — Worst sunrise app ever *2026-04-23, version 11.2.1* Complete scam- I want my money money, refused. This app is not accurate- in any way. I asked for a refund- but my money had already been taken for the year ahead, the information given is incorrect and unreliable- really disappointed and disgusted ### 1/5 — Useless in the UK *2026-04-22, version 11.2.1* This app just isn’t accurate. In fact, it’s appalling inaccurate. Tonight for example, my area is showing 77% great sunset. Yet outside it’s raining and cloudy. I’ve had other days when it says poor, only to see stunning sunsets from my house that I could have been out in the hills enjoying. Do not rely on this app. It seems to contradict other services which are generally more accurate for the uk. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money they use paid reviews *2026-04-16, version 11.1.18* Like many of you I was in intrigued with this app, however even if you use the paid yearly subscription the location data is wildly inaccurate the widgets tell incorrect time for blue hour, golden hour etc, this app is a waste of space and money. Don’t infect your phone with this app save your money look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Completely inaccurate *2026-04-14, version 11.1.17* Don’t know where it thought I was but the good/great sunsets were no different than the fair to bad. In fact some fair nights were excellent and some great nights were meh. I’d hard pass on this If you’re using it for photography, it is not based on fact whatsoever. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2026-04-09, version 11.1.16* Don’t know where it thought I was but the good/great sunsets were no different than the fair to bad. In fact some fair nights were excellent and some great nights were meh. I’d hard pass on this If you’re using it for photography. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-03-29, version 11.1.16* I have been testing this app for years but no one day was accurate. Absolutely terrible app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app. *2026-08-06, version 11.3* I love this app. I like to know where the sun will be in the day. This helps me find shady spots. ### 5/5 — Best off *2026-08-06, version 11.3* Ciao ### 5/5 — My Fav App *2026-07-31, version 11.3* Love this easy and fun way to watch for potentially great sunrises and sunsets! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-07, version 11.2.5* This app is by far the best Sun prediction app I’ve ever used. Hats off to the developer for killing it with this update! As a landscape photographer, this app is as important to me as my tripod. Looking forward to using the new update. 💪🏻🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — A great help *2026-05-24, version 11.2.2* Easy to use and a help when planning photography ### 5/5 — Heavily app. *2026-04-30, version 11.2.1* The best of the very best. On a scale of one to ten, my conservative rating would be at least 250. 🎉🎊🥳😍🥰🤟🏼 ### 5/5 — Grate for photographers *2026-04-27, version 11.2.1* I have it set to just tell me when the sunrise and sunset are going to be good let’s me know days before makes it so easy to know when it’s actually worth getting up early ### 5/5 — My Go-to for Sunset predictions *2026-04-21, version 11.2* I love this app. I have no recollection as to how I stumbled onto this app but it was a god-send. I love how accurate this is to predict sunsets and sunrises. I've had multiple memorable sunsets thanks to this app. I've been using the free version for so long, I considered getting the full version on the 10th anniversary! Kudos to the dev! Thank you. ### 5/5 — Heavily app. *2026-04-20, version 11.2* The best of the very best. On a scale of one to ten, my conservative rating would be at least 250. 🎉🎊🥳😍🥰🤟🏼 ### 5/5 — Inzwischen eine Top-App *2026-04-20* Klasse, wie die App weiter entwickelt wurde. Habe gerne Pro Lifetime gekauft. Neben den vorhergesagten Lichtverhältnissen gibt es jetzt auch eine zeitlich längere Prognose und zu den einzelnen Sonnenstadien jeweils auch die Wetteraussichten. Also auch für Sternengucker erste Wahl. Danke, Andrew! **Developer response:** Thanks for the review.  Alpenglow doesn't focus on Sun position, although I do have the map. The main focus is the forecasting and that is the primary focus. I'll have more features centered around this functionality out in the coming months along with more details around what a particular percentage means, I agree that could be clearer. Glad you've found an app suitable for your needs! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
