Alpenglow: Sunset Prediction

Cool App, but it translated to Russian only 80%. On widget, settings there is an English language. Fix this!

It predicted a great sunset days ago for tonight and reminded me all day to not forget. Wow, what a beautiful sunset.

I love this app. Besides the app telling me what time the sun will rise and set in my area. I can set the sun where it rises and falls on the app to get a better percentage of a better sunrise or sunset. I purchased the app for less than it costs to go out to dinner for a steak and I get to use it forever. My photos are amazing due to the accuracy of this app - did I already tell you- I LOVE THIS APP!

Downloaded this only so I could have notifications for sunset and it doesn’t even do that one job at all.

I’ve happily used this app for several years to ensure I don’t miss a beautiful sunset. I’ve also used it to plan photoshoots with clients including my own proposal around it to get a perfect colorful backdrop for the photos. Thank you!

I really did want this app to be my go to for drone photography of sunrises and sunsets. Unfortunately, the algorithms are clearly poor as what they considered a good sunrise was a non existent foggy horizon. Do not rely on this app if your planning a trip to catch a good sunrise at a specific location. You might be wasting your time.

I was really excited to download this app. However, when I opened it, I can’t find any instruction page on how to use it. For exactly, there are various colored lines…I don’t know what they mean. I wrote an email to the developer to ask, but haven’t heard back. So the time for my free trial is ticking away, with me having no idea whether the app is helpful or not. Plus the cost. Apple really needs to be more upfront BEFORE downloading on what the associated costs for apps are. This has gotten really annoying, that you have to own the app to be told. Let’s go back to transparent, informed decision making, please.

We almost skipped going to sunset because the app said “poor” chances - 25%. We went anyway and it was the most stunning sunset of the summer! Bummed, but tried!

I rely on this app heavily so that I don’t waste time waking up early packing up my gear to show up on location. It is always the absolute opposite of what the app says. You can make this app effective if you do the reverse of what it says because I’ve never seen anything more un accurate, except for my March madness bracket.

I have used multiple different sunrise/sunset apps, and Aplenglow is by far the best one. I can honestly say, that without an ounce of doubt, that if this app says that it’ll be a good sunset, then it will absolutely be a good one. Since I travel extensively for my job, I have used this app to try and find out when there will be a beautiful sunset that I can photograph, and share it with my wife so that we can “share” the experience via FaceTime. Thanks to this app, when I was working out at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego, I was able to choose the right day to head out to Sunset Cliffs National Park and share a West Coast Sunset with my wife in Florida. I HIGHLY recommend this app for anyone trying to track the sunrise/sunset… Addendum: I’ve dropped my rating by one star due to some instances of extreme inaccuracy. Usually the erroneous percentages are on days when the forecast is “poor” or “fair,” but there have also been a couple times when a “good” or “great” sunrise/sunset ended up being mediocre at best. That said, the initial review still stands, as MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, the forecast is relatively accurate. I have read other reviews and comments from the developer, that point out the fact that the local weather forecast is not always accurate, which is a fair statement. I do wonder though, why I have read replies from the developer that says he’s been working on improvements and attempting to work with local news outlets (and other methods of making this app better) that have read the same way for two years of reviews…I have to wonder if there have been any actual improvement updates…regardless, this app is one of the best for this particular purpose
