Description
Sunrise. Sunset. Sometimes the sky lights up with amazing color, other times.. not so much. MySunset provides a sunrise, sunset, and golden hour forecast for the next 6 days as well as notifications for great forecasts. Don’t miss the next great sunset!
There are two ways to view sunrise/sunset data:
1 - An interactive map with an overlay showing the forecasted quality of upcoming sunrises and sunsets. By default, your current location is shown on the map. On this screen, you can toggle between sunrise and sunset, change the date, move the map around, and zoom in and out of the map.
2 - The second screen is a table showing a list of custom locations. Each location displays a forecast percentage, a corresponding color representing the quality of the sunrise/sunset, the time of the sunrise/sunset, and an icon representing the weather forecast. Tapping on a date will reveal additional weather information (% cloud cover, % chance of precipitation, wind speed, and temperature). This allows you to see if a sunset will be poor due to too much cloud cover or too little cloud cover.
Tap on a day to view weather data for that sunrise/sunset. Even if the sunrise/sunset isn't great, this data is meant to assist in accomplishing your unique artistic goals.
Current location:
- % cloud cover, including cloud levels (low, mid, high)
- % chance of precipitation
- Humidity
- Wind speed
- Temperature
50 km (30 miles) East/West:
- % cloud cover
- % chance of precipitation
150 km (90 miles) East/West:
- % cloud cover
- % chance of precipitation
Tap the three dots to open more options:
- "View on Map" will open the location on the Map screen
- "Configure Alerts" allows you to receive push notifications when an upcoming sunrise or sunset is predicted to be colorful. In-app purchase required.

Ratings and Reviews
Good Concept, But Needs Polish
I like the concept of this app - it saves me from having to check the SunsetWx website every day. However, map navigation is laggy, it will only zoom out to a certain point (can't see my entire state, let alone a whole region), and for some reason I keep getting prompted for my iTunes password when using this app (I am logged into iTunes and no other app does this). I did pay for both in-app upgrades before testing the app (my fault), but I expect more from such a relatively expensive app.
A nice feature addition would be a customizable range for the notifications. For example, if I don't mind a short drive, it would be nice to know that there's a much better sunset 30 miles away.
Just wow
When I first came across this app, I looked at it as a backup or confirmation to TPE and considered it to be more as a curiosity than a serious app. When TPE began to give me spotty results this year I decided to give MySunset a second look. All I can say I I wish I had done so much earlier. I live in the DC area and it’s batted 1.000 for me this year. It’s been so good, I’ve traveled as far as Gettysburg or Fredericksburg (70 or so miles) based on its predictions (80% or higher) and I’m 1000% satisfied with the results. It has been simply outstanding!
The map is buggy and inconsistent and the colors change when you zoom in and out. (I have no idea…) Yes, highly irritating but I’ve learned to ignore it completely when I realized how good the tabulated data are.
If you’re into sunrises and sunsets I can’t recommend this app enough. Wish I could post photos. Give it a try!
Looks like it might be awesome... Super interested
I downloaded this and I LOVE that it runs free but the add overlay is so intrusive I cant even run to to the point where I can make the choice to buy or not. There should be a way to shut it off for maybe a week or a month. Let us see what these features you want me to purchase include! Then you might get me to buy it.
Yes, thanks for the response... the add overlays the text entry fields so the app is unusable. I am on a iPhone 10.
Developer Response ,
Hi there! Thanks for using the app and submitting feedback. I definitely don't want the free version to be difficult to use. Are you saying the ads are intrusive? They should stay up at the top of the app and never intrude. If it's acting differently, I definitely want to change that. Is that what you are seeing?
As for the notifications upgrade, I have considered adding the ability for a trial, maybe I'll look into that again. Thanks for the feedback!
