5.1.6
2020-03-18

Taken an awesome photo of a sunrise / sunset? Send it to us on Instagram @alpenglowapp.
5.1.5
2020-03-11
- Bug fix where app would try and load the incorrect prediction.
5.1.4
2020-03-06
- Couple of small bug fixes around location fetching.
- Predictions for sunrise/sunsets that have already occurred are now hidden. Unfortunately the app would still request past predictions even if they weren't viewed, which was eating into the number of requests Alpenglow is able to make per day. If this continued it would've caused Alpenglow to stop providing predictions.

Alpenglow shouldn't hit limits for a while now. The apps limits have been increased to accommodate for the extra usage. I'll look at increasing the number of days you can request predictions for if things look good in the next week or two.
Thanks to those people who sent tips to help cover the costs of running Alpenglow.
- Fixed issue with crashes when viewing predictions.
- Added dialog to suggest a tip if using the app quite a lot.
4.7.2
2019-03-24
Thanks for all of the kind reviews recently about Alpenglow. I've been seeing a huge number of new users over the last few weeks. Huge thanks to those folks who have sent tips to support the cost of keeping Alpenglow running.
Due to the influx in users Alpenglow has been very close to hitting the number of requests it can make for predictions each day. If we go over this limit, no predictions will display in the app until the following day. You may have spotted this over the last couple of days. To keep predictions loading for everyone we have reduced the number of days in the future you can request.
I'm hoping we can increase this again in the future. I'll need to look at ways to bring in more tips/funds to support this additional cost. One possibility is an In-App Purchase to gain access to the additional predictions or set limits on a per user basis. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for using Alpenglow. Included a couple more optimizations to minimize unneeded hits to SunsetWX to minimize API usage. To support development and help cover server & service costs, please consider using the tip option in the Settings tab.
I'd love to keep the current feature set free however if limits continue to be met & tips don't cover upgrading, some features may have to be moved to a subscription.
- Custom locations will now be remembered between sessions of Alpenglow. If you wish to return to showing your current location, simply tap on the location label at the top of the screen again.
- Introduces some improvements to hopefully minimize unnecessary SunsetWX hits.
- Adjusted UI to be tab based for future features.

Thank you for using Alpenglow! It's been so amazing to see usage grow these past few months. Our prediction provider SunsetWX has introduced usage limits, this isn't a surprise and I totally support them doing so. Alpenglow has been hitting these limits which has caused the predictions to stop showing when daily limits have been reached. To support development and help cover server & service costs, please consider using the tip option in the Settings tab.
