Today Widget
• A today widget gives fast access to the essential data about sun and moon, including a red arrow pointing in its direction. Excellent when you only need a quick glance at when the sun sets and it gets dark

Notifications
• Notifications notify you of sunset, sunrise, new moon, full moon, solstice, equinox (the sun passes equator and day and night have nearly equal length), and these can be turned on or off. Sunset notification can be sent 30 minutes before sunset.
• Choose in Settings which notifications you would like and which you would like to turn off.
• No unsolicited notifications! Only notifications related to sunsets, solstices, equinox etc.

Share Button
• Share to friends and involve them in the fascinating world of Sun and Moon watching.

Change View
• You can change between Sky View and Space View, where each cellestial bodys position in space is carefully and correctly calculated, however distance and sizes of sun and moon have been resized to make them visible.

The moon phase text field shows the moons illumination, and if the moon is in the Earths shadow it changes to Lunar Eclipse (0-100 %), and if the moon covers the sun for your position, the text changes to Solar Eclipse (0-100 %.)

See how sunrise and sunset times differ for various places and dates.

It will work with no network coverage, and in flight mode, however showing your location as an address requires internet connection. With no internet, timezones are off, so if you simulate the sky from another location on Earth, the times are your local time.
Showing map requires internet connection. Showing the sattelite view on ground requires internet connection.

Dont forget to leave a review, to help others find this fantastic app!
And remember, never look directly at the real sun. Have fun using the app!

Disclaimer. This app calculates the sun and moon positions very accurately with an error margin of up to 0.03°, which is good in most cases, however, always refer to table values for most accurate calculations of solar eclipse and the like, since they require more powerful calculations. The sun and the moon have an angular diameter of approximately 0.5°, and with an error margin of 0.03° each, eclipse times are calculated with an error margin of ± 10 minutes.

So basically youll try to code the 360 degree angle thing for the iPod? And also when will the update come out for the iPod (this app)? And there’s something missing on the app it moon text doesnt say “lunar eclipse yet”!!. And during solar eclipses it doesn’t get darker in the sky!!

Cool thx

Thx and just 2 more things

When there is a solar eclipse, (from 0% to 100%) can you make the graphics go darker as the sun goes through the moon? And 2nd, when there is a lunar eclipse (from prenumbral to the total) can you add the thing saying “lunar eclipse” like when it says solar eclipse? Please? And also a question, is it normal that the 360 degree angle thing doesn’t work on an iPod? And question 2 why does the sun set at an altitude of -0.83 instead of 0?

Bad

It says you can have notifications - no settings for that. Waste of money

Anyone in agriculture is always aware of the weather, and has to know when the sun is coming up and going down. This app and the moon faces which is very helpful for a grower who relies on moon phases for planting and harvesting them. An essential tool for making a good living

Add more graphics but its a great app anyways

• ★★★★★   xavier david poulin 6 years ago ( v 3.5.3 )

Its great but can you please add a north side and make the sky animation more realistic like for example the sky would be be like very light before/after sunrise/sunset but in the opposite direction would be a little darker, can you add all of those graphics please?
