Response from developer

Hello. Thanks for your review. Are you still experiencing this issue? Can you please send a screenshot to thesabbathapp@gmail.com so we can resolve for you. Thanks.

Please Restore Previous Version

This version has no locations added still; therefore, one is unable to share or notify someone in another locale about their Sabbath sunset times. I have families and individuals who look forward to me sharing this information. I have notified the developers, yet nothing has changed. Also, the glaring orange for this app is very distracting. Individuals with sight sensory issues do want to open this app. Please, restore the previous version as it was far superior to this new version. Thank you.

Hello, Thanks for your email and patience as we have updated The Sabbath App. We have now fixed the issues raised: - location detection issues - brightness - changed to a darker background with picture like before - adding additional locations - reminder issues not notifying. Please delete current app and download new version to resolve these issues. Thanks Damian The Sabbath App

Horrible app

This is an awful app. It was pretty good until they revamped it. You can enter a city or town, but then it won’t let you select it as a location to find out sunset and sunrise times. It also shows nonsensical things like sunset times 11:00 AM or sunrise at 9:00 AM (maybe in Alaska) in the lower 49 states. If you look closely, even their example app is pretty bad and has those same ridiculously listed times. I received an email from the creator of this app that the problem had been taken care of and to reload their app. It still doesn’t work correctly. Save yourself some trouble and don’t try this app. Here’s hoping someone else creates a better one that actually works.
