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.

Every timer type, in one app: - Countdown: count down the days to a birthday, holiday, wedding, or trip, and let it roll over automatically every year. - Count Up: track the time since an anniversary, a milestone, or the day you started something new. - Progress: see how far through the week, month, quarter, or year you are. - Stopwatch: count elapsed time up from zero, starting and stopping as you go. - Standard: a simple one-shot timer that counts down (or up) to a set duration. - Repeat: a timer that repeats a set number of times, or infinitely, for periodic reminders like stretching or drinking water. Widgets, done right: - add timer widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen - interactive widgets, so you can start and stop your timers without opening the app - customize the theme of each widget, or pick one from a gallery of over 50 themes More to love: - run as many timers as you like, all at once - name every timer (emoji supported) - lots of alert sounds to choose from - multiple finished modes - local notifications alert you when the app is in the background (no network required) - long press to re-order the timers on the main screen - works with Siri and Shortcuts Some features require a purchase of either a Premium Subscription or a Premium Lifetime Unlock.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Enjoy the Sunset at none against Widget Timer's 3. Enjoy the Sunset also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Widget Timer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widget Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Timer has 181 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Enjoy the Sunset's written reviews are positive against 45% of Widget Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Enjoy the Sunset ships an update every 8 months, Widget Timer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
