Sunset Negative Reviews
Good idea, flaw in the first version that the developer could & should fixSunset offers to tell you the time of sunrise and sunset for your location, or for any other location, for any date during the year. This is very useful for photographers and videographers and perhaps for others as well. Alas, the first version (Jan 20 ’09 release date) has a long way to go. To set a location other than the current one, you tap on a map of the world, and then tap again on the map to set the new location. (There’s no documentation to tell you that…you have to figure it out.)
This is very imprecise because the map is small, although the coordinates of where you’ve tapped are displayed. Still, unless you know the coordinates of the location you want, you’re limited to setting the desired location with a very large margin of error. The program doesn’t offer a list of locations (e.g. major cities) and it doesn’t offer an opportunity to enter the longitude & latitude, although as noted above it shows that data for the spot you select.
Compare it to VelaClock, another iPhone app that costs a few of dollars more. VelaClock gives you a list of cities and has a much more elegant and useful display, showing the onset and end of civil, nautical and astronomical twilight, as well at the azimuth of sunrise & sunset and moonrise/set. The one hitch with VelaClock is that to go to a date other than today you have to tap on a tiny calendar icon in the middle of the bottom strip of the screen. It took a while for me to discover that – the documentation for both of these apps is weak..MsandmanVersion: 0
Two stars for effortI haven't found a way to set my latitude and longitude to get accurate sunrise and sunset times where I live. Using the map link provided is useless. I have to kill the app to return from the map link as I can find no way to return to the app otherwise. If I could find some decent instructions somewhere it would be nice. I have sent the developer a message with the same info written here with no reply. So far it's been a waste of .99..MickeymbbVersion: 0
Could have been so much betterI was really excited about this program until I learned it was totally useless in finding the information while traveling. There is no help. Any icon you click guides you to the sales page for other apps by this company. I believe an upgrade would really make this better if other locations could be entered. I can't believe I had to pay for this poor utility..PensiveTeacherVersion: 0
No goodPoorly written app. Everything I try to do with the app ends up taking me to the web browser. Very frustrating..SoxmomVersion: 0

Waste of .99I should have read the only review before I bought the app, Very Lame!.CA Super JoeVersion: 2.2.0
Not ready for releaseThe only location I could set was the current one from my 3G's GPS. Also when it did display today's sunrise and sunset for current location for aug 25 (the current date) and I changed the date to Jan 25, sunrise and sunset did not change. This is the beginning of an app but not ready for release..Enjoying life in CanadaVersion: 0
No way to set locationI'm very disappointed. Even for 0.99 you should be able to receive a working app. It is impossible to set the right location. All you can choose from is a world map and you have to try to touch your location?? Impossible - I do not recommend this app..WildnisVersion: 0
