The best sun-moon almanac

This wonderful app is a labor of love by the designers. The main panel (second from left) has a graphical display with a LOT of information, yet it’s easily understood.

I would like to have an option to select time resolution (one-minute or one-second). Currently it’s fixed at one-minute resolution. I’d pay for that resolution option.

Great app!

This app is great! I use it frequently when scheduling international calls and checking sunrise/sunset for future dates. The visualizations showing day/night, dusk/dawn are super helpful as is the ability to jump ahead or back by increments of minutes, day, week, month, year, or choose a date from calendar. It's also easy to add and arrange places. I used to use it on my Mac as well, but the latest available version hasn't worked on current macOS for awhile. I wish this was still being updated, but grateful it works on iOS for now. I'd gladly pay for updated version but understand it's difficult to get visibility to get enough paid users to make it worthwhile for the developer.

Love this App

As an outdoorsman I got to say this app is one of my favorites and gets used more during the fall and winter when I head to the woods. It is super helpful to know when the sun starts to light up the sky in the early morning so I can plan accordingly. No other app to my knowledge gives you the three twilights. I hope this app is around for many years to come. I would hate it if the developer stopped supporting it.

Oldie but a goodie

The app hasn’t been maintained since iOS 9 but miraculously it still works and is 64-bit. I’ve been using it since the iPhone 3GS days and there’s quite nothing like it as far as I can tell. The visualization of the day, dusk, twilight and nighttime is clear and I like the fact that I can jump to any date and any location I want.

It was useful for planning my trip to Iceland in the winter a couple years ago.

Information dense

I love this app. I can see so much information all at once. I only wish it was updated to support new phone sizes. Still a 5 star app, though!
