Description

*Skylight is a service that requires a paid subscription to show you forecasts*
Do you ever wish you could know when those magical, gorgeous sunsets happen?
Skylight is the new app from the Apple Design Award winning team of friends behind Halide Camera and Spectre that magically predicts what the quality of light in your evening will be.
Skylight not only tells you when important events like golden hour and sunset happen, but does something magical: with the help of lots of weather and environmental data, machine learning and a pinch of magic, the app gives you a brief forecast. Is it going to be a clear, great golden hour and spectacular sunset, with a scarlet lingering afterglow, or a dim and cloudy glow on the horizon? Checking the app or widget will help you get out the door when you are chasing the light.
POWERFUL PREDICTIONS
The Skylight prediction model uses many atmospheric factors near your location to make a prediction about golden hour, sunset and afterglow. Golden hour is the period of time directly before sunset, when the light is at its most beautiful. The sunset period, when the sun starts touching the horizon, is a stunning daily moment when colors can be at their most dramatic. Finally, the afterglow of a sunset is the period of time when the sun’s light can still color the sky and clouds in beautiful, vibrant colors.
Weather forecasts only tell you if you are likely to see clouds, or low visibility. With a quick, scannable forecast and extra information about conditions, Skylight takes out the guesswork when it comes to the most beautiful light of the day. Whether you are trying to plan a photoshoot or simply love beautiful sunsets, Skylight can be a fantastic utility to check every afternoon.
GORGEOUS DESIGN
Skylight is made by Lux, a group of three friends with a passion for making gorgeous, innovative apps. We previously brought you Halide Camera, the Apple Design Award winning camera app for iPhone and iPad, and Spectre, the iPhone App of the Year of 2019.
Skylight builds on our tradition of making thoughtfully crafted, beautiful products. The app’s colors and iconography changes with the quality of light, and every feature and screen was designed with care.
HANDY TOOLS
Use the beauitful, quick app as it is or place one of Skylight’s widgets on your home screen to stay informed about the light near you.
FROM YOUR TINY TEAM
We truly love making apps — it’s truly our dream to create something like Skylight, and we hope you love it. If you like the app and the work we put into it, we’d love to hear from you with a review or rating, or a message! Thanks for your support — we couldn’t do this without you.
COMPATIBILITY
Skylight is available on iOS 15 and above, for iPhone 6S and 6S Plus and newer devices.
PRIVACY AND LOCATION
Skylight needs Location Services to create forecasts for your local light. Skylight uses background location services by default for constantly updating forecasts and to update your local forecast requiring you to repeatedly open the app. Just a note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Skylight Forecast Reviews

Fine but wishing for a lifetime license

R4z3rsPar4d0x on

Honestly it’s a good app with a great UI. Well considered. I’m disappointed that there are only subscription pricing options though. I assume this is due to the weather data pricing (are you hitting Apple weather’s API cap?) but it would be more user friendly to explain why the price is what it is so it feels more reasonable even if everything makes sense to charge for. Great app though, just pricing feels off for me.

No Live Activities

Why is there no Live activities to monitor approaching sunset times? Would be a higher rating if you added this.

Awesome App

I really love this app. I like that this app not only tells you the forecast of the sunset, but also how good the vibrancy will be and what kind of colors you can expect. I feel like most sunset prediction apps in the App Store do not tell you this much information as Skylight does. I would like for you to add sunrise forecasts, because I get curious if it will be a good sunrise as well.

Don’t waste your money

Figured I would try this out with the one week trial to see if it was any good. After the first few nights I could see that it was useless. One night it said there would be a “spectacular” sunset. I went outside to check and it was nothing but gray haze. The other days it said sunset would be “good” and it was similarly underwhelming. But of course, I forgot to cancel the subscription until after I had already been charged $10 for a year… 🙄

Needs more

I beta tested this and found that this app doesn’t provide nearly enough functionality to justify paying for a subscription. The “predictions” regarding the golden hour quality are laughable at best. Pro tip: your weather app mostly like will tell you when sunrise/sunset is. Some weather apps even tell you when Golden Hour is, that’s really all you need.

Pretty great and a fantastic UI

It’s been accurate for my location, which is not an easy place to predict weather. My only request is that you include sunrise as well. Then I can know if I need to get up early if the sunset is looking mediocre.

Romantic

What a clever concept and so well designed for easy interpretation. Has been right 6/7 days this week which is very impressive given volatility of Mother Nature. Able to plan a nice outdoor dinner with my wife thanks to the app which ended quite well. Thanks guys

Love!

Another shameless cash grab

rhythmnation2054 on

As title states; this is another shameless cash grab by the same team that bait & switched people into paying for a "pro" camera app with rudimentary features that can't compare with the existing iOS Pro camera apps into paying a extortionate pricing substitution. ‍ Same thing with this app, there are hundreds of existing apps doing the same thing but they'll trick you into paying another extortionately priced subscription for a mediocre copycat app. Really sad

I am 92.37% sure this is a shell company for Apple please prove me wrong @ “lux optics”

I am 92.37% sure this is a shell company for Apple please prove me wrong @ “lux optics” No, you guys can not have my precise location data 24/7 yes there is an option for an address or even general location but big no-no What this app offers on paper sounds amazing tho Ok my original hyper focus was on halide when I started this review privacy policy for halide honestly kudos for the entire thing fitting on two pages of A4 copy paper on default setting I absolutely loved the ten-day photography course and my little certificate at the end was a nice touch -(actually I really love looking at it after my 10 day reminder to look at it went off) The hide all data from Facebook data thing, kinda cute tho You’re taking an absolutely massive photo with absolutely massive amounts of data if I post something to Facebook the company that can use the micro abrasions on your camera lens to track you [Yes seriously look it up]… that’s not even funny it’s hysterical Oof what a mess this review is big apologies too the the 4 friends who read this ;)
