Get out, take a walk, and (most importantly) Enjoy the Sunset! Get a quick and easy daily reminder before the sunset each day. As a programmer that spends a lot of my working day inside at a desk I make sure and take a couple of walks throughout the day. Living in Huntington Beach, I make sure and try to time one of those walks before dark with the side benefit of being able to Enjoy the Sunset. I hope you enjoy this little reminder everyday as much as I do. Thanks for checking this app out, Matt Automatic daily reminder requires that the app has background refresh enabled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Enjoy the Sunset at 3.8 against Daylight BASIC's 2.0. Enjoy the Sunset also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Daylight BASIC's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Enjoy the Sunset holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Daylight BASIC's written reviews are positive against 50% of Enjoy the Sunset's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Daylight BASIC ships an update every 2 months, Enjoy the Sunset every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
