CaskFinder vs Sunsync

CaskFinder is the app from beer industry experts Cask Marque and is designed to help you find and enjoy cask ales all over the UK. Use the pub finder’s location finder to locate nearby pubs serving great quality cask ale. See what cask ales they had on sale when Cask Marque’s team of 50 professional beer inspectors last visited. If the licensee has access to our system they may also have listed what other beers they sell, including stout, craft beers and lager. New beers are constantly being added by brewers in both the UK and overseas. Choose from over 1300 brewers and see all their beers in one place. When you are in the pub, if you don’t recognise a beer then use our pump scanner to take a picture of the pump and within a few seconds receive back tasting notes telling you what to expect in terms of colour, smell, taste and more. On the beers page you can see over 10,000 different beers with tasting notes stored on the Inapub database, which along with Cask Marque, powers the data behind the app. Click on the beers and find tasting notes from Cyclopsbeer.co.uk as well as lots more information including calories, beer & food match and interesting facts. If you haven’t already done so, join the World’s Biggest Ale Trail and discover new pubs all over the UK. You have about 10,000 to choose from and they have all won the Cask Marque Award for the quality of their cask beer. Scan the QR code on the pub’s Cask Marque certificate and win prizes as you go. On top of this the app now offers ale trails from our corporate customers and Visit England. Complete smaller ale trails and win prizes from our partners, as well as see beautiful parts of the country. CaskFinder is not just another list of pubs – it is an indispensable tool for every beer lover! Please note that many pubs regularly rotate their beers and once they are sold out, change them for another. Cask Ale, by its nature does not have a long shelf life, and should be sold within 3 days of putting on sale. Accordingly, some pubs may not have the same beers in stock today than when they were last visited by a Cask Marque assessor, so if you are travelling a long way to sample a particular beer, phone ahead to check before you set out to avoid a wasted trip – you can access the pub’s phone number from CaskFinder automatically from the pub details page. We hope you enjoy the app and give us a good rating. If you don’t like something on it or have great suggestions for improvement then please email us at appsupport@cask-marque.co.uk What’s New - Redesigned user interface - Quick access to main features - Improved pump clip scanner accuracy - Ale trails from our corporate partners - Tasting notes for all beer styles, not just cask - Ratings & favourites stored in the cloud, not in-phone - Change password feature - Regular beer news

View and be notified of solar times--dawn, sunrise, sunset, and more! Have the accuracy of NOAA in your pocket--the times are as accurate as NOAA's online calculator with some modest improvements for solar noon and match timeanddate.com to within 1-2s. Keep your day in sync with the sun! - See times from all over the world and on any date! - Schedule a notification just once or be notified on a recurring schedule - Display a clock to visually see how near a solar time is - No or spotty internet connection? No problem. The app still functions. Offline Mode Features and Caveats With no internet connection, the app will still work, but it will need to be connected to the internet again every few days for recurring notifications to continue working automatically. If that is not possible, the user can manually make them continue to work by flicking the switch to turn them off and then on again every few days. If a user wants to create a new location while lacking an internet connection, the user can create a location using latitude and longitude coordinates, using the convention that negative values are South of the equator and West of the Prime Meridian. The location created while offline will lack timezone information to display the times to the user in the local time of that location, but otherwise, everything works as expected. When the user comes back online, the app will automatically attempt to update the location with a name (if a match can be found) and timezone. If multiple locations match to the same place, the app automatically deletes all but one of them--no duplicate locations are permitted. Clock View The user can turn on the clock view from time settings. The clock view will display the time of the event that is selected and the user's current time on the hands of a clock and will update as the user taps more events. Tap and hold one of the time events to make the clock view display that event's time without popping up the notification creation form. The color of the event's clock hand changes depending on whether the event time is AM or PM. Limitations The algorithm used comes from Jean Meeus' Astronomical Algorithms and will be accurate to within a minute for most latitudes (+/- 72 degrees, i.e., up to around the Polar Circles) and within 10 minutes otherwise. Due to atmospheric refraction and other conditions, the calculated times may be different from what is observed. The algorithm is very good from the years 1800-2100 with still reasonable but decreasing accuracy from the years -1000 to 3000. The algorithm has a higher risk of error outside that range.
