Will it still be light when you finish work? Can you fit a run outside before sunset in December? DayLength answers these questions precisely, for any day of the year, anywhere on Earth. Enter any geographic coordinates or search for a city. DayLength calculates sunrise, sunset, and total daylight duration for every day of the year using the NOAA solar calculation algorithm — the same method used in scientific and navigational systems. All computation happens on your device, instantly, with no network required. HOW IT WORKS Open the app and enter your location — type coordinates manually or search by city name. Tap Explore Daylight. An interactive annual chart appears, showing how day enght changes across every day of the year. Drag your finger across the chart to explore any date: the exact sunrise, sunset, and total daylight hours update in real time. The app automatically detects polar phenomena — midnight sun and polar night — for high-latitude locations such as Reykjavik, Tromsø, or Anchorage.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: SmartMeteo at 3 against DayLength's 1. SmartMeteo also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
