LastLight gives you precise sunset and last usable light times right on your Lock Screen and Home Screen—so you never miss the perfect moment. WHAT MAKES LASTLIGHT DIFFERENT Most apps just show sunset. LastLight goes further by calculating the exact moment when outdoor light becomes truly unusable—what we call "Last Light." This carefully calculated time tells you when you need to wrap up outdoor activities, set up camp, or head home before darkness sets in. Whether you're a photographer chasing perfect light, a hiker planning your trail time, or someone who simply wants to make the most of daylight—LastLight delivers the precision you need.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Windometer at Free against LastLight Pro's $0.99. Windometer also leads on ratings volume (249 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). LastLight Pro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (daily vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
