This simple application shows the sunrise and sunset times based on your GPS location in clear and large text. It updates once an hour and only needs your location to be accessible when it first launches. I created this application because I was tired of applications that had this as part of their functionality and had advertisements or other features that delayed the ability to quickly and simply view the sunrise and sunset time. I hope you enjoy it. If you want to see improvements, please feel free to add your ideas as comments in reviews, and I will work to implement them iteratively over time.
