WHY SUNCLOCK?
Sunclock takes you beyond standard time-keeping, transforming your device into an astronomical clock with an analog display. It not only tells the time, but also emphasizes the beauty of natural light by showing sunrise and sunset times, including the periods of twilight. You'll know the exact moments of civil, nautical and astronomical twilight, vital for photographers seeking the perfect 'golden hour' or 'blue hour' for stunning light effects.
The phase of the moon dictates the darkness of the night and Sunclock makes this cycle accessible. Displaying moonrise and moonset times, along with moon phases, you can anticipate moonlit nights or the darkest hours. Even tidal patterns become predictable with Sunclock.
Customize your time display from the Clock Gallery and adjust the size and color to your liking. Craft your personalized clock and share it with friends, flexibly deploying Sunclock as an app, widget, or wallpaper.
Enjoy the interactive element – swiping the screen simulates any time and date. Unearth cosmic, cultural and religious phenomena, unique to each hour and day, no matter where you are in the world. This exploration can also occur via automatic animation.

5 ★ It's pretty easy to operate but takes some playing with because there are so many options. Now that I've got it set up to my needs it's great! There are ads in the app, but they run along the bottom, never interrupt you, & disappear if you use the widget (or pay the dev for their work, as you always should if you can). Edit: moon phase is not shown how I'm used to, but now that I read the instructions... Thanks! ☺️
5 ★ Wonderful app! Attractive, uncluttered interface yet so many useful functions. It has a compass and sun compass. It shows times of the blue hour and golden hour for photographers, shows important times of the day for those of various religions including the inauspicious times for new ventures, shows the direction of Mecca for Muslims, so much more. Fairly easy to use with a quick read of the help section. Unobtrusive ads. One of the best apps I've ever downloaded, for sure.
4 ★ An excellent way to visualize time! Short of letting us freely segment the day into blocks (awaken, productivity, recreation, wind-down, sleep, etc) it has every customization option I could need. My only gripes are as follows: 1. There is no way to save/apply a custom clock theme other than to copy the settings as a txt file and paste them into a notepad. 2. The UI is a little obtuse, but I doubt I could do better myself. 3. As mentioned, no way to freely segment the day. Otherwise, 10/10
5 ★ Enjoyed the app, it was nice, but latest update broke the widget. Uninstalled. Edit: widget disappeared from screen. It still registered as something (I couldn't place another widget in its place, that space was taken up) but it was just "transparent," nothing at all displayed. Edit#2: I gave it one more try, installed the app and this time the widget works! Really do like this clock a lot! Good clean design. ❤️ I just wish there didn't have to be so much fuss after an update.
5 ★ Great app, lives on my home screen, love all the customisable options This is a really cool app! I love how it visually shows how much time is left in the night/day via the inner dial. Personally I only use the widget and I just use the app to adjust settings I wish there was an option to edit the text below the clock and be able to choose what information is displayed (ex. Not show location). Would love to have options for font, and style of numbers on the dial
4 ★ I just learned that I can quickly move through a large part of the coming year by moving my finger up and down on the dial. It's quickly gives me the sunrise and sunset everyday and it's fun to use, and that includes the daylight savings time switch. I would probably give it a five if it showed the times of twilight and dusk like I get from another app. However the Compass function doesn't let me set my home base location.
5 ★ I was really surprised, but this clock is actually a big improvement. At a glance, I can intuitively see how much daylight I have left and what part of the day it is any part of the hemisphere. Especially useful if you live in the North where daylight changes a lot with seasons and there can be a lot of gray days. Compare that with the traditional digital world clocks and sunrise/sunset times, and it's much nicer to have a single sunclock on my home screen.
3 ★ Not what I expected but nicely done. I gave it 3 stars because in the pictures it shows the app can be used in the locked screen. That can't be done. Toy can take a screen shot an use that but the app itself can't be done. I don't want it as wallpaper in the background of my phone I want it on the locked screen like they showed. Worked well on my Samsung 8s. If it gets fixed I'll reinstall it.
3 ★ Well, this WAS a great app. I used to have a nice large clock widget on my phone that displayed civil dawn and dusk and solar noon and moonrise and moonset. It was beautiful and functional. Until the widget stopped updating in real time. The developer keeps trying to figure out how to fix the problem, but for all I know it can be an issue with the AIO launcher I use.
5 ★ A must for outdoor work, recreation, gardening, hunting, etc. For anyone who works outside, this app is more valuable than any other clock or schedule. How many times have I had to figure out when the daylight would be enough to start work, or when the dew might burn off, or when I needed to start packing up. Twighlight & moonlight really do make a difference. Suggestion: a daylight-centric alarm would be a plus.
5 ★ Once customized, the widget looks great on the home screen for us astronomy geeks. But, it doesn't always track the correct time. I've found it as much as 15 minutes slow. To reset the proper time, you have to tap the widget, which brings up the entire sunset/sunrise app. Closing this resets the widget to the proper time. Other than this inconvenience, a five star app. Update - fast response from developer. Five stars.
2 ★ Wallpaper STILL not displaying correctly. NOT user error! ‐------------------------ Don't know what you did, but all of a sudden (perhaps after an auto-update, 1-23-2020) the wallpaper sunclock is all screwed up, rotated to an odd angle, showing daylight hours as if from another part of the world, numbers around the 24-hr dial are rotated into contorted positions. I've reset the location several times, reset the config several times.... not working right. Ruined, as it stands.
5 ★ I am an Earth Scientist and a Photigrapher. This app is AWESOME!! The UI is clean and the app is simple - but not lacking in functionality. I'm not a night hunter in DE, but if I was, I'd use this app. As a photographer, the simple functionality of visually anticipating the Golden and Blue hours and 3 different defs of Twilight makes this an indispensable app. Plus true mid-day. The reminders are nice but don't apply to me - I hope the devs will make programable, user selected reminders soon.
5 ★ Well, I've only had this app on my phone since last night but I'M IN LOVE and quite obsessed with it. In fact, I would be studying and exploring all the wonderful features right now if I weren't at work, so I have to make this short: I absolutely LOVE not only the beautiful, cosmic aesthetics/design of this, but all of the thoughtful features, like shabbat candlelighting times, photographer info, etc. This app was clearly created very, very thoughtfully and passionately and it's a delight! I've had it for less than one day and it is now tied for my favorite app on my phone. WOW!
5 ★ This app is perfect, runs and looks great .Very readable at a glance, even with all elements. Adds some poetry to the machine. Can look like a modern sports watch or an old pocket watch. I have 1/2 dozen configurations on my SD card. I would like to see some number styles like a Hamilton RR watch, and spade hands, mabey a Tiffany or Elgin art deco dial,military w/ radium hands, how about a Waltham electric. As for widgets ,configure as a subdial in the background. If makes sense, Get the app
