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!
Very handy
Use it pretty much every day. I’m an addicted amateur astronomer, so the sun and moon times are invaluable, plus the app packs lots of useful information into the graphics. Fun interface.
If you travel you need this!
I've had the widget on my desktop forever and I finally sprung for the phone app. If you do any traveling or have relatives or business in other parts of your country or the world, do yourself a favor and pick this up!
Works very well
Works very, lots of information neatly presented. If you need a world clock this app would work well for this also.
Needs an update
I love this app a lot but it has lost a lot of accuracy for some reason and needs an update- when they do I would give it 5 stars.
Best App for Sunlight, Time, Moon
This app gives you clear and easy to use information about sunrise, sunset, and the various types of twilight, as well as moon phases. I’ve used this app for over six years and continue to find it useful.
Perfect for my celestial info needs
Have used this app in evolving versions for the last 6 years. Simple interface and easy use of concurrent displays of diverse geo locations near and far is unequaled. Great value for a few bucks.
Easy, Beautiful, & Complete
Easy to use, beautiful to view, and the most complete app for data and graphs to follow the sun, moon, and daylight hours!
Recent v1.2+ versions are excellent
Quick awesome app.
Great app
If you want to know what's happening with the sun and moon, anywhere, anytime, this is the app.
I've been using this for a few years and really like it.

Can’t live without it
Indispensable.
Bit buggy
Got the info I need but a bit buggy when adding stations. Also would be nice to add location in a format other than degrees and decimal if degrees, maybe by dropping pin on map
This is a useful app
Creative "bar" display of time and astronomical events.
A wonderful thing
If you are interested in sunrise and sunset times and phases of the moon - for instance if you are a photographer or if you just are interested because you are - then get this app: it is perfect.
Very pleased to see updates: the app worked fine but I was dreading the day when it finally broke. No longer!

Won't open
I've loved this since before getting my 4S three years ago (as a paid Mac widget) but I've just updated and it still crashes on launch. :-(
Great quick-reference, and pretty too.
VelaClock is a well-designed display of astronomical dates, times, and other data. It's a great quick reference, and pretty too. I especially like the main "day line" display.
It doesn't display at the iPhone 6's highest resolution, but that's a minor thing. It's one of my favorite apps.
