Daylight

I’ve used this app for years. I like the pie graph. It’s interesting to watch it change throughout the seasons.

I spent over an hour trying out all the free "time of sunrise / sunset" apps I could find (there were around 10 of them), and this is the one I think is the best, for the following reasons: 1) It acknowledges and provides useful info, in layman's terms, regarding the fact that it gets bright before sunrise, and stays bright after sunset 2) It allows one to see how sunrise & sunset will vary as the calendar varies (the daytime/nighttime "clock" display changes as you change the date) 3) It automatically determines your location, but, according to the support page, allows for manual setting if, for some reason, the automatic method fails (it didn't fail in my case, so I didn't get to try this out) 4) Except for a brief mention in the help section about an upcoming version with an extra feature or two called "Daylight Plus", there are no ads. 5) The times are accurate 6) There's an easter egg in it having to do with the moon. Visit the developer's support page for info about that. I think he's cool to have this little feature, but not to boast about it in his iTunes writeup. The only minus is that the graphics are plain, not fancy - but that is not enough of a negative to cause me to subtract rating points. Five stars and job well done!

Nice app. Simple to use. Improvement suggestions: Add numbers to indicate hours on the "clock". Have a "Hours/minutes till sunset/sunrise feature.

This app is perfect for determining what time to meet for pre-dawn activities, or figuring out how much available light is left for surfing, golfing, hiking, etc. I'd love to see the following improvements: 1. Show the date. More than once, I've turned on the app and was misled because it was still showing times for an alternative date that I had previously viewed. 2. Either always boot up to current date, or display non-current date warning. 3. Allow the user to show data for a location other than the current location. 4. Either boot up to current location, or display non-current location warning. 5. Show moon rise and moon set times. Bug: once my sundial became smaller with the icons and tic marks fuzzy. Then it started migrating up and partly off the screen. Wasn't sure why, but after reinstallation it was back normal.

This app is simple and beautiful, not overdone or filled with gimmick features. It's also one of the few free apps I have seen that pinpoints your location AND tells you the Latitilude and Longitude to 8 decimal places AND shows you in Maps if you so choose. Amazingly accurate with good cell service. The twilight times are usually dead on, although the sun will obviously appear to set a tad later from a mountain top than in a valley.
