    Everything you want and more. The info is fantastic, the format easy to navigate, and the developers are smart enough not to mess with it.

    This app is very easy to use. The information allows me to plan my night photography. With the times and dates of the moon and sun, I can plan my night photography for taking photigraphs of the milkyway, planet alignments and deep space photography of Planets and nebulae. It leaves the guessing as to when I vac be there to capture the best photos.

    Alarms not always work. Had this problem before. Have to turn alarms on and off, restart device, make sure is updated, etc, etc. Bottomline, it’s too buggy and too “high maintenance”. Used to be great the first few years; not anymore. Cannot recommend.

  • Notifications

    The notifications do not work very well. Let's say I create one for sunset, and then when sunset rolls around, it doesn't go off. But for the most part this app is really good.

  • Useful Tool

    Update: “system” theme fixed in widget so it automatically switches between light and dark. One star added. I’ve used this app for years, mostly to check the sunrise and sunset times, and the moon phase. I love the new widget. My one nit is the color scheme. I have iOS set to automatically shift from light during the day to dark at night. It would be really nice if LunaSolCal also supported this. In the main app, the only choices are dark and light. The widget offers dark, light, and system. I hoped that “system” meant that it would select whatever scheme iOS was using. But as far as I can tell, system doesn’t do anything. Still, other than that it’s a great app.
