Lumy Positive Reviews

Amazing support straight from the developerOther have described what an amazing app this is and how useful it is to photographers. That’s true. I use it when I travel and am taking photos to help me keep track of the different types of light in the day. I find this especially useful with landscapes, when I find a really pretty spot and want to know when to come back for that great golden hour light. But that’s not why I’m writing this review. I run or walk every day and use the Lumy complication on my Apple Watch so I always know when sunrise or sunset is. That lets me get up at the right time or get home from work in time. When I updated to WatchOS 10, everything changed, and I emailed the developer to ask what had happened. He was incredibly responsive, released a minor update to address my problem, then talked me through the settings to get it just right. How often to you get that kind of support these days? I am so impressed..SelladorVersion: 4.9.18

Simplicity + Elegance = BestI’ve been using Lumy for nearly 5 years and it is by far the best sun tracking app available. It has come a long way since its inception, now offering various tools like the sun arc, showing its position in the sky relative to time, the sun compass showing its position relative to the phone holder, new time details like daytime and nighttime durations as well as widgets for your Home Screen. This of course on top of all the old features that have been polished to fit the new UI and general design. This app is super simple and ultra customizable. Once you set your location, you can then select which light periods you want to see and even what your app icon looks like! There is also integration for Apple Watch 4 and newer. I have an Apple Watch 3 so I don’t get to take advantage of this yet but hopefully soon. There are various Watch Faces/Complications you can add to your Watch via the Lumy App! I look forward to the future of Lumy. It is an invaluable tool for photographers, whether I’m shooting a portrait session or going out for another attempt at the Milky Way, Lumy has been there for me! Try it out for yourself and you’ll see! No app is perfect but this one definitely deserves 5 stars for ease of use, design, and features. One wish: I wish there was a sun compass widget for iPhone. That would look sick on the Home Screen and would be super useful!.Rock4Jesus777Version: 4.0.7

Clean and Polished for iOS16This app is exactly what I needed. I travel frequently and need a quick way to check the sunrise, golden hour, and sunset times. This app lists everything out in a simple way without any clutter. It lets you customize the information you want to see too! Now with iOS16, the lock screen widget is an absolutely incredible addition. Now I can see a countdown at a glance straight from the lock screen! It is beautifully (not lazily) done too and actually looks nice. I have one suggestion/request! I wish the countdown widget had the option of counting down to multiple events. For example, have it count down to golden hour, then once that time has passed, have it count down to the sunset, then last light, etc. If this were a customizable feature it would be amazing. Overall very happy with this app!.Nmn0003Version: 4.7.2

Perfect.Randomly, I was thinking to myself several weeks ago about having a nice app that looked pretty to check sunset (and nautical and astronomical sunset) for my observational astronomy. Literally not one full day later, I watched Apple’s keynote for the new iPad Air and Apple Watch. This app was featured as an app that was rebuilt for iOS 14, and I thought it was exactly what I was looking for! To be fair, the price is a tad higher than I think necessary for the functionality of the app. It would be cool to see more information rich widgets as well as better weather data and more visuals in the app. Just as an FYI, I bought the calculator app you made as well, I love your design language and I’ll buy any app you release, even if I don’t have a function for it. I’ll find a way to use it. Thanks for the great work, keep it up..Prometheus641Version: 4.0.7

Lovely app, complications are hit and missThis app is lovely when it works. It truly is. But the experience on Apple watch is hit or miss as far as the complications go. The large complication you can have in the ‘Middle’, doesn’t always show information. Sometimes it will show cloud cover and rain chance percent, and it’s great when it does. Then sometimes, those date points (cloud cover and rain chance) will randomly disappear. For the Siri watch face, you can select Lumy as a data source, but it never appears. However as Apple hasn’t touched the Siri watch face in some time, I don’t use it anymore so that’s not a big deal. But; even so, I’ll never not have Lumy as my main Middle watch complication. It’s just so lovely to look at, honestly. The developer is also very responsive and proactive about fixing issues and I don’t doubt eventually the complication bugs will be worked out..VtboyarcVersion: 4.6.8

Nice App, Change Complication Color?This is a great companion app for photography and weather alike. I got it for the nice Apple Watch complication, and love it in full color. However, I often like to make my watch face a single color, and it turns the complication rectangle light gray which makes the color text hard to read and looks terribly bright against the black background. Can you please update it so no matter what color we select, the complication will have a black background behind the colored text? The complication also has enough space under the current text to include temperature and condition icon, which would help save space so I don’t need to have another complication taken up by current temperature. Those two changes would make it a perfect complication!.Curtis R. ShidelerVersion: 4.0.7

Unique outstanding design app!Some times in life you run into something that makes you go WOW ! Your words to describe the moment come to a standstill. This app is truly one of those times. The Developer has truly truly put out a unique outstanding design 5 star app. Not only is the Data that this app puts out is right on ( so they say ) , but so outstanding in the way it is presented on your phone let alone how outstanding it is on your watch. I truly thank the Developer for putting this app out for all of us to use. Please download this app now today it’s that great! You will not be disappointed or sorry! ( Really ) Thanks again to the Developer!!!!.RLNfirstVersion: 4.0.7

Great, but terrible watchOS supportI bought Lumy as a great way to monitor sun activity and hopefully have better timing with sunsets. While the iOS end of the spectrum is alright, the watchOS support is utterly terrible. The complications tend to glitch and show odd squares. This is most notable with the X-Large face and a background color enabled. And sometimes the widgets that show seconds till an event don’t update, being stuck on the last displayed second count. Lastly, as well as the naming of the widget names on watchOS. The dynamic island glow is a nice touch, except I feel a nicer touch would be an option to have it do a glow all times of day- I have yet to see an app do a gimmick with the dynamic island since getting my 14 model a few days ago..FairytaleForestVersion: 4.7.3

Great App!This app is great! I have been using it now for almost a year maybe a little less than but it’s always been accurate. I use this app for work to know when sunrise and sunset are in different towns etc. legally we can travel 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset in Fl with oversize load transports. Other states are completely different when it comes to that info and have saved us on many occasions. We are very satisfied with this service and we hope it continues to be of use for us in the future as well..Kstnd327Version: 4.7

Super helpful app!!!This is app was exactly what I was looking for. I have it on my Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad. In my opinion this app, is helpful for both the photographer (who needs to know what the time is golden hour or blue hour) and also great for those who just need to know how much time they have left in their day. It’s helped be more purposeful with my time when it is day. Very clean graphics. Very helpful widget. Highly recommend. You won’t regret the purchase. You will love the Apple Watch complications as well..Reviwer24Version: 4.6

Great for photographersI’m a photographer, and I would definitely recommend this app to any one who wants to keep tabs on atmospheric light times, it is one of my main apps for that I use for light, the others being PhotoPills and Sunservay And TPE 3D and others. But it is the best one for just a quick glance by use of a widget. And is the only one that lets me use in a watch face, were as all the other apps I use for light information don’t. A great app, would highly recommend.😄👍.Joseph HazVersion: 4.5

Nice little appI like sun, you like the sun; I mean, guys…why shouln’t you have the latest information on our beautiful glowing ball of gas that sits a mere 92,024,000 miles away?! This is the definitive app for simple light information. It’s not the photographer’s ephemeris, but I don’t even think photographers care about the kind of garbage that level of sun nerding allows for. I love this app, and I look at it once daily sometimes a couple more. Well worth the couple of bucks!.Iamjones1981Version: 4.8.3

In LOVE WITH THE LUMY APPOkay, I just purchased this app today after watching a YouTuber, Zollotech, explain his awesome watch face and what it was compelled me to jump on the AppStore and buy it. I was looking for an app and it’s features to do what the LUMY app does. I have it all setup the way I want and think this is just a really cool app to keep track of moon phases, sun phases, golden hour, blue hour and so much more!!! Excellent job and definitely one of the best apps like this out there today. Well worth the $5 bucks..SpankmymotoVersion: 4.5.5

Great appIf you like taking pictures and making videos in the light. This app will make your stuff look like a professional did it for hundreds of dollars. I been using the app for a few months now. So whenever I have the chance to take pictures of my grandkids. I simply Glock for the golden hour and it will give your picture the perfect shot..JapsandersVersion: 4.8.3

Love App, but have REQUEST!I just absolutely love the Lumy app. My only complaint, suggestion, or request to the app developer would be if you would please consider those who may have trouble seeing very small characters. If the characters (letters & symbols) we’re just a slight bit BIGGER, or able to be adjusted by the user, then I think your app would be 100% top-notch! Thank you for your consideration of my suggestion. Once again, EXCELLENT APP!!! 👍🏼 Definitely a “5 Star Rated App” in the making with just one little tweak! 😁.Donnywong72Version: 4.0.7

Love the App, but having an issueI have a new iPhone 15 with iOS 17. Upgraded my Ultra to watch iOS 10. I have re-installed Lumy. There is no watch face for Lumy. A major reason I bought the app cause I liked the watch face so much. Can u help with this? Update: I figured it out and built a watchface. Just use a watch face that can accommodate Lumy widget! I chose a modular face! It’s looks great! All good here!.CodeWriter53Version: 4.9.59

BEST app for Apple Watch Face & iPhone!This is hands down an AMAZING app. I bought my Apple Watch just because of the Lumy face. I even made the Home Screen on my iPhone the Lumy screen. It gives so much real & live data about “Golden Hour” and astronomy and the sky. Words don’t describe the visuals and movement, they’re out of this world. Worth every penny. Try the Apple Watch Face!! Great on iPhone too!.OscarrVersion: 4.6.8

Watch Face Amazing-ness!This app is a must have for any iPhone photographer! The addition of new watch face complications takes this app to the next level! This is one of those apps you didn’t realize you needed until you have it. Ten out of ten stars for this developer! I am really impressed by the simplicity of the app. Even adding the custom watch face is easy with watchOS 7. Thank you for a top notch app!.ThatPolyglotVersion: 4.0.7

An actual nice appI’ve never purchased an app for my watch but the information this provides is a must for everybody who wants to take their watch/info to the next level. I’m an information nerd and the precision of this app when it comes to the moon/sun is unmatched.Jays World.Version: 4.6.8

Great but one problem.I really love these complications, they transform the functionality of my watch. Bug report: The red dots on the complications for sunrise and sunset are on the wrong sides I.e. 88° dot is on the west side and the 272° dot is on the east side. This should be reversed. Update: That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for taking the time to respond to my review. I agree that documenting this feature will help many people. Thanks again!.Bob Jones VIVersion: 4.0.7

Interesting App for the Backyard AstronomerJust found this app on my iWatch and set it up. Then, i found it for my iPhone. Had some questions about what the complications were in the App, but figured and set it up from phone. I always want to know, astronomical twilight and when the Moon is coming and going for observation and imaging purposes. Think I’ll like this App..FishDad911Version: 4.9.60

Almost perfect...I love this app, and I got it mostly for the watch app. This is why I only gave it 3 stars, the watch app does not update my location like the phone app does. It doesn’t make any sense, I changed my location in the phone and the watch just doesn’t follow. This has essentially rendered the watch useless in my travels. I just stopped using the Lumy watch face all together. Very disappointing, fix this and it’ll be an automatic 5 stars..ANanoMoose-13Version: 4.0.7

More accurate than apples.....This is more accurate than apples native moon phases...I find that incredibly awesome and sad at the same time 🤪. Good this app was made (even if Apple fixes that problem this app still provides way more....everything 🤩👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.....⭐️!). Awesome work..AngelBee2k3Version: 4.8.6

BeautifulI really love this app, mainly I use its widget which is the best part about this app, one suggestion I have, i hope you add that the dynamic background (or the glow around the arc of the sun) color gradient of the widget to have a matching hue to the current sun’s position (I.e. orange gradient when it’s the time of sunset), just like the Apple’s weather widget in iOS 15. Thanks.Ramyar HPVersion: 4.5.5

Live Activities seems hit or missBeen using this app for quite some time, but as such, one feature seems to be missing, and for me, even on an iPhone 15 Pro, live activities don’t seem to be working, not sure what setting is being missed here. The app has otherwise been useful in notifications. Just not in live activities..Chris_howard_91Version: 4.9.56

Awesome app and Great Customer ServiceThe app is great! You will find several features that will be useful if you are a photographer. However if you are not a photographer is still a great app and has cool widgets set up and faces for your Apple Watch. Worth the money! Please give it a try!.Gmc1093Version: 4.8.10

Worth the money!This app is designed beautifully, it gives you a lot of information in a beautiful and elegant way, plus I very much enjoy the Apple Watch complications and widgets Definitely recommend I’d you’re interested in astronomical events..SpacebackpackVersion: 4.6.8

Amazing and astonishing!This app is really cool! I 100% recommend it! It tells u when it’s going to sunrise, It tells u the time last night, And u can even use this for ur background which is really cool! I did it with my Apple Watch series 6. 100% recommend!!.Brey_458Version: 4.5.5

Fantastic for the Apple Watch userThis app has the best Apple Watch complications available. I heard about Lumy on the Apple Watch Cast, and I’m glad I did. This is now my favorite and most used watch faces. As a hobby photographer I find having all this information on my wrist invaluable..Sportster65Version: 4.5.5

Finally! The App I dreamed aboutBeautifully illustrated and constructed app. Simple, Yes, but a work of great craftsmanship. A joy to have and use. I hardly ever review apps. I have had many similar apps, but Lumy stands out. The only thing I could want are more choices in notification times. Perhaps in an update but it’s great as is..Frugal1957Version: 4.0.7

Love! Love! Love this app!It’s an awesome app! Love the layout of it. It’s educational for learning the phases and offers useful info about like the best time for photography! Also the the direction of the sunrise and sunset north, south, east, or west which is helpful to plan for the idealist place to get a good view I recommend this app 💯👍.Jenny#8675409:):):)Version: 4.6

Beautiful DesignThis is a beautiful app with so many functions for the Apple Watch. The added features for the moon makes it even more interesting. I find myself creating watch faces solely for this app. Keep up the amazing work!.ThosweilVersion: 4.5.1

App ReviewThis is a fantastic app, and includes an astonishing amount of information in regard to the moon and the sun. As a photographer, I can really appreciate all of the important information in regard to lighting from the sun and the times of the day for the best photo opportunities. Really love this app!.RobJWheelerVersion: 4.8.3

ExcellentVery well designed, every interface both on iPhone and on Apple Watch. The widget selection is excellent. I use it alongside the stock weather app and another weather app to track moon phases and the best conditions for outside photography..FereliVersion: 4.6.8

Perfection! 🤩🥰🤩This is exactly what I was looking for. I needed to track the twilight hours and have tha Apple Watch piece of it too and this app fit the bill. Another app I use to track similar info, including moon phases dropped their Apple Watch support and although I appreciate the transparency of their situation, it has been a deal breaker. This app has everything so elegantly laid out, I just bought it out right and have no retreats so far. Especially cool, no user data being collected. Thank you for your hard work! 🥰.ThinkmillyVersion: 4.0.7

Fantastic appRuns beautifully and all my Apple devices, including my M1 Mac and my Apple TV and my iPad and my iPhone. I do wildlife photography while Kayaking and this is perfect for knowing when the best times of day are without having to guess..TzTerriVersion: 4.8.3

Apple Watch complications working againEdit: developer is super responsive and the most recent update seems to have fixed things. Working nicely like usual!.ChristaniniVersion: 4.9.62

Great Photography Reference! RECOMMENDEDMany apps out there for photography references, but many are bloated and redundant. This app is simplistic and to the point. The added watch faces are quite useful and an added bonus. A big thank you to the developer for a useful, simple app that is not bloated..TjgianniVersion: 4.0.7

Beautiful app, and super responsive developer!This is a beautiful and functional app with widgets that works across devices. The developer is also very responsive and will follow up quickly to questions and requests..AlexSof14Version: 4.9.54

Phenomenal ApplicationI use this to tell when I can legally log night flight time since it’s difficult to tell with the whole time of evening civil twilight vs sunset. Very useful app, love the layout and the interface..Jaz Noco BVersion: 4.9.18

Handy toolReally nice little reminder for the periods for great photo lighting outside. Nice watch face options as well to use for those times your are just wanting to focus on photography like a weekend trip..HamrOfDonVersion: 4.0.7

Great golden hour times, not great weather prep.Unfortunately you cannot trust the weather portion of the golden hour range information. The app insists 10% chance of rain when 3 of my other apps say 59% Can’t trust the information without checking multiple sources, which for 5 bucks you’d think it could be close to the other apps..TommyFirefoxVersion: 4.0.7

Beautiful designJust get this. It’s a well coordinated app for iPhone and Apple Watch. On to the Apple TV app. (1 Star.) Well not usable. My first screen says no location found with two buttons at the top L and top R. Neither is accessible with any of the Apple TV remote buttons. A fix please..KyaeckerVersion: 4.0.4

Great App! Beautiful DesignThe app is great! The UI could use the tiniest bit of cleanup work but nothing remotely bad at all. The app does exactly as intended - including widget-ability and apple watch faces, all while delivering beautiful designed infographics.LholmyVersion: 4.6.8

Bug in Apple Watch versionIf you change time zones, the Apple Watch version does not calculate time properly. There doesn't seem to be a way to resync it even after a hard reboot of the watch. The iPhone version does not have this problem..DavidWihVersion: 4.8.10

Overall, great.App is simple, intuitive and clean. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because there is a bug where the app doesn’t update the timeframe on my watch. It will say that golden hour is at 7:38pm, but the “starts in” timeline is wrong and doesn’t update until you tap into that app and then go back to your watch face..DanpsharpeVersion: 3.1

Lumy Negative Reviews

I got this appI got this app and apparently you guys are having problems trying to get my money from my card and my card works perfectly fine so I don’t know what the issue is with your site trying to withdraw the money from my card when on my phone it doesn’t say it needs to be purchased it says open or anything I really like this app and I want it taken care of so I don’t have to worry about it right now I’m only going to give you two stars and tell you fix the issue then I’ll give you five stars after you fix it but right now you only get to because of the issue with payment when I know there’s not anything wrong with my card you need to fix this issue or call Apple support.Cowboys3409Version: 4.6.8

WASTE OF MONEY!!!! plenty of apps for free do this ….I have 2 free apps that do EXACTLY the same thing… I can add them as widgets to my screens, use as apps, they literally have exactly the same information as this app…. but I wanted this app specifically because it had its own apple watch background and i’m to lazy to customize my own….guess what?! it isn’t even compatible with my watch and cannot even be used on my apple watch AT ALL, but the 2 free apps (with the exact same information as this app) work perfectly and completely fine on my apple watch FOR FREE !!!!!!! I am 100% deleting this app, never using it again, and issuing a refund from my bank. Such a rip off..NothinngVersion: 4.6.8

Location update doesn’t work on Apple WatchI like the app, but the fact that I need to manually update my location on Apple Watch every time I travel makes me upset. So if you’re using Lumy on Apple Watch face - it will show you the info only about the previous location, it will not automatically check your precise location..Anna.lynxyVersion: 4.6.8
