SunCalc.net

We all hope the darkest hour is behind. Summer is coming, and we have to plan our time accordingly. This is incremental update to dust-off the app, and make it basically compatible with the new cool gadget – the Vision. Let the light win!

Winter is coming! Therefore, we go prepared. Improved app stability, and accessibility. Compass details refined. It is easier to read out compass or using thing in gloves with text size bumped up.
This release is a convergence point for SunCalc, as it will have to grow – therefore, right now is polishing and long-shot phase to support people who's using iOS below 15. Therefore, everyone till iOS10 will get those updates – super stable, nice looking, and forward looking! Hugs to all! Enjoy the Sun!

Winter is around the corner. We got updates. This one makes sure the app runs well, and steady. Also, it starts a little bit faster, and map scrolling is a little bit smoother.

Hi! Winter is coming! As well, as many awesome stuff with the OS updates. This release is a dust-off, and ensure app stable and will keep shining on all the new devices. There's also a nice fix minor issues with the weather (yeah, more sunny days!) and make it a bit more reliable.

Here we go! SunCalc becomes better yet staying simple. Try out saving bookmarks and quickly returning to the favorite locations, a bits of additional details like Day Duration or Golden Hour. And yeah, weather indication supports few days ahead (shows the noon weather in forecast now). App should work fast on either device supported (I believe it’s still used on iPhone 4s!) and also can provide you with necessary information even without internet connection — compass and sun times are always available! Yeah, and for favorite locations as well.
Of course it comes with code revised, and every rare crash analyzed and addressed. I’m proud to say — it is very stable now, and I can focus more on the hard UX problems :)

Enjoy the Sun, and stay Safe!

Winter is here! Time to check all the warm places around, and plan some sunset hunts!
This update comes with a nice feature added – you can quickly bookmark current position. Just go to the search and use "save current location" to add it to the favourites. Hope you like it!
Take care!

Summer is coming! To get ready I've prepared a nice update for you: a daylight time display (yeah, you can see how many sunny hours in any day of the calendar), maps got also hybrid mode – so you can see city names while browsing satellite map. App got improvements in rendering accuracy, and all this timezone melt (yeah, I've discovered some problems in the future, and fixed them now /nerd smile/). Details refined. And refined again. Enjoy the sun! And don't forget your mask and the camera :)

Winter is coming. Going through the dark times, it's always good to know where's the light.
This update has the invisible changes, but brings a bit more light. The battery consumption is reduced (although it was ok, but still!). The application size has shrunken, and the only visual update is the most important one – the app icon is updated! Also, refined UI integration with dark and light themes, improved location permission detection, and a bunch of other invisible nerdy things. Hope you'll like it!
Follow the light, keep the path, and don't forget to take your camera with you!

Summer is getting closer. Nights are getting warmer (unless you're in Australia :) Time to get night mode play well. And this update is all about picking all those nitty details of darkness. Improved representation of the golden hour time, especially around planet poles. Also, fine-tuned details and compatibility for older os versions. No gigantic icons this time. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Enjoy the sun!

Summer is coming. And days become precious in many ways now. Here's an update to make you track the sun with more details. Compass look got tiny details drawn accurately. Settings amount is growing, and they got their own page. It will help to fine-tune the app better for our needs. Added option to remember last map location (when switched off, the app always starts at your current location).
A terrible bug fixed, which caused "time to stand still". Please, enjoy the bug free version!
Thank you for the feedback – it helps!
Enjoy the Sun, and take care!

Autumn is here. New colours, new angles.
This update is built to make app faster, and more stable. New built-in timezones database is smaller, but more powerful. And also, I had few reports about incorrect time display – it's fixed now.
Enjoy the sun every day and moment, and don't forget your good mood and a camera when leaving home!

Summer is coming! App gets a slight set of UI updates and keeps its track on the Sun as usual. And yeah! Thank you a lot for the feedback! It helps to drive decisions, and most important - it gives the inspiration to continue.

As usual, don't forget ur camera at home, as well as an artistic mood and a smile. Happy sun spotting!

A small but important update: improves timezone crossing accuracy, reduces occasional crash while playing with the compass on the map - if you got one, consider it's a luck! ))) Makes things better in one or other way.

Oh, and search thing behaves a bit better, trying harder instead of being lazy )

Enjoy the springtime! Wear sunscreen, don't forget ur camera, and a smile, while jumping out for another adventure.

Update 1.9.1 compliments 1.9: adds fixes to the compass appearance, application stability, and timezone accuracy.

Version 1.9 update:
Spring is coming. Everything is tempting to get a fresh start... And version 1.9 of the tool is kinda critical. On one hand, it's still a legacy look, and features. On the other hand, there's progress to utilize modern devices with their power - better location, compass tracking. Also, this release is iOS 9 and above. Also, The next release might get iOS 10 as a bottom line (because, luckily, we're all now the latest and safest software, and it's goooood)
So, what's new:
- search remembers some of your last attempts, so, it's easier to come back to the address you've just typed in
- new maps with new "features" bring a problem to some users - a small compass and a scale might become not visible (the issue is addressed, but may take some time to fix)
- weather improved (huh, not at the God level though...)
- centring on your current location works better
- compass icon for iOS11 is replaced by custom (during map rotation)
- knowing where's the sun may make you happier at the random moment
- tiny fixes to the tiny issues

Let's play a bit with version 1.9 to see what we really would like to get for the next updates (and yes, I'm reading your suggestions and mega thankful for all the feedback! Please, do it when you have a moment - it helps!)

As usual, don't forget your camera when going out,
and for this spring, maybe along with sunglasses, keep a pair of snow-glasses as well. And a thermos of tea, coffee, or wine - can be very handy!

All the best,
enjoy the sunny days!
(Finally spring is coming to Berlin! Fingers crossed)

Winter is coming! One day... Mr. Snow, one day...
So, it's a threshold period of transitioning the app into the new amazing world of the updates coming later this fall. For those of you who enjoy vintage - this release is meant to be the last supporting iOS7 and iOS8.
And I'd like share with this release – a little bit of love. So, we're getting favorites. You can have up to 22 favorite places on this planet :) Hope you'll enjoy storing your favs. FYI - favorites are stored only locally, in the app data. They are yours, private :)
There's also one thing I'd like to share – it's a timezone warp. The app was built to show what's going around you - even if there's no connection. In that case - you might see no map, but the compass stays alive. And a built-in, specially optimised database, knows a lot about time zones, so, it the most of the cases - you will get a proper local time for the Sun path. Unfortunately, there are places on the planet, where time flows in different rules, and I'm working on the new version of the database using blockchain technology (no, joke) - to overcome this issues and to be always polite and precise.

Have a nice time out, take your camera, your smile, goodwill, and a compass.

Cheers

Summer is coming! With all features tested and tuned, this version offers stability update.

Weather landed on maps pretty well =^^= There's a chance now to use your favorite measurements for temperature - ℃/℉. To get into there - just go to the app settings in the iPhone settings. It is also a place for allowing app to use location services (just in case :))
Some nasty bugs were addressed as well (gosh, who made them?)
And yes, this is a day! Get ur camera ready, get ur mood high and find the best spot to enjoy the planet. Someone tells this is the only planet with beer (what do they mean by that?)

Cheers!

Wow! Spring is here! And Spring is a little bit... surprising. Therefore, I've added simple weather preview, so, when you close enough to the area of interest - you will be able to see some weather hints. For today you'll get current weather, and for few days ahead - forecast fixed at noon time. As usually, item available worldwide. So, checking is it sunny tomorrow in Honolulu - peace of cake.
Have fun!

Winter is here :) Frozen letters came into my mailbox. And I've got a goose skin. There was one more crash. Terrible shit. Cleaned.
But actual reason is an optimisation of compass drawing - few layers of pie where gently reshuffled in order to make picture softer and more accurate at the same time. Enjoy.
And don't forget your good mood at home. Happy sun gazing!

Hello there! Since the last update, there were 9 crashes. 5 were horrible, and 2 were nice, and 2 more were not so nice. Now crash logic is improved, so I can expect only nice crashes upfront. Enjoy the sunlight, and remember it takes approximately 8 minutes 20 seconds for a light to reach your camera from the surface of the star. For fun, DeLorean DMC -12 0-60mph is 8.3 seconds :)

Have fun! Don't forget ur camera!

Winter is coming! Get ready. Light Interzone is growing.
Therefore app gets Dusk and Dawn time display.
Be ready for your perfect shot. Your tools have to perfect as well: some annoying bugs where fixed (rotation, status bar changes), also, compass animation gets more smooth.
Have fun and let me know what do you think. Yeah. I read your comments sometimes (truth: always) :)
It's getting really challenging to dive into iOS 10 capabilities and keep iOS7 (basically, iPhone 4) support. Plan to drop it with the next major app update.
Thoughts, ideas, and critics are welcome in the comments. I've also organized a feedback inbox at suncalc.net@obrij.com for that. Let's see how it works.

Have lots of sunny days!​
