Sol: Sun Clock

I love this app. I am alerted when the golden hour is happening which is a great time to take pictures. It indicates the hours in the day and night and the seasons.

One of my most indispensable apps. The interface is user-friendly and the information is unbelievable. I’m a photographer and an earth scientist, and I can’t even begin to explain how valuable this app is. If I have a smart device, this app will be on it!

A surprisingly useful little app. Find solar noon and apply sunblock before you cook. Use it to find the right time to take scenic photos. I imagine there are other uses as well. Simple to use also. 2 years later App is still under active development. The interface has been tweaked a bit to add some polish. Still very good at what it does. Sometimes an app doesn't need to have a million different functions. Simple can be awesome. A few years later: still awesome, still being polished. Super app for photography.

First, I used this to help me get more in tune with the sun’s position each day, but for the last year or so, I’ve been crafting my days with this app. Alerts for: Morning sunrise; UVA rise (10degrees above horizon); start dinner (2 hrs before sunset); finish eating & add orange glasses (sunset); go to bed! I’m so grateful for the rhythm and awareness this app has established. One hope is that the platform will allow them to expand the number of days that the app can generate alerts after the app is opened. Now it stops alerting after about 10 days, so I have to remember to reopen the app every week or so. It’s a minor inconvenience for the gain received! Hopes: I love that the alerts window gives the time for the next alert, but I really wish that it would sort by time! It would be so nice to see the day ahead.

What part of “No” is confusing regarding notifications? Not now, not later, not ever, at any time, under any circumstance: I don’t want any notifications, even if they each accompany a simultaneous $100 direct deposit into my personal Apple account! No Notifications!

I use this app several times a week. Love it!

Best in its class. Combines fantastically prepared interface that has accurate and critical information for photographers, astronomers, and regular people needing solar positioning values as well as golden and blue photography “hours”. I have probably tried and bought 90% of these in the App Store and this is my immediate GO-TO tool.

This app is amazing, and I use it on a regular basis. It shows me when sunset will be, and when it will get full dark. Also the alarms are amazing. I can set an alarm for six hours before sunset on Saturdays so that I can take a hike and get back before dark.

People don’t pay attention to the sun like they used to, and since my modern lifestyle is indoors, I find it helpful for this app to remind me about various aspects of the sun. Half hour after sunrise is when the sunlight in my side room is most optimal for sun gazing. At sunset, are my children home? These are things I want reminders for, but my calendar or timer can’t help because it changes every day. This app is essential for those who want to orient their day around natural sunlight.

Bought this years ago and never had any issues using the app, I love this app especially when traveling and planning events it is helpful to know when the sun is setting. Never felt this way about an app before, so good so reliable
