------And Many More Tools!------
Many more useful weather, Sunrise, and Sunset tools are also included. Some of the tools and features listed above require a premium subscription. Premium subscription is $1.99 monthly or $23.49 annually and can be purchased in-app. That's less than the price of one large cheeseburger, every month! And unlike the cheeseburger, this is healthy for you and useful! Each subscription help us to continue app development and make the app even better.
The premium subscription includes a free 7 day trial, and is billed on a monthly or annual basis unless you cancel the subscription. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of your current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. If you do not wish to continue your subscription after the free 7 day trial period, it is your responsibility to cancel your subscription before the billing cycle begins. Subscriptions may be managed by you in your iTunes account and auto-renewal may be turned off by going into your Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Need a longer trial period
ClairaMarie
I have the trial version. You can only see as far as the very next sunrise or sunset so there really is no way to get a fair test of the apps ability to forecast any further out than a few hours. I cannot evaluate whether or not it's worth buying with such a small preview window. Why not allow one week with full features? If I'm going to commit to a monthly subscription, I want to know before I buy. Thanks.
Excellent app,

Works great, very accurate. Helps me find beautiful sunsets for my photography.
Kind of alright

It’s generally accurate, but my big issue with the app is the fact that it often shows the sunrise when it’s mid day, and won’t give a prediction for the sunset. I’ve tried reinstalling the app and using another phone, but it auto loads the sunrise at mid day 50% of the time. I suspect it’s to push their premium subscription. Maybe it’s just a bug though. The first would be a shame.
Very accurate

Tried now with four sunsets, so far the sunset quality forecast has been spot on at my location. I don't know why I didn't hear about this app before...
Great app

Great idea. I'm traveling internationally in a few days and can't wait to try this! It's worked great at home so far, got some beautiful photos.
Marvelous: I Love it!

I like how the app can give you predictions for the next day and you can get your photos rated on the quality of them.
I love the concept but too buggy

I have the premium trial version and every time I try to search a location, it closes the app. I never right reviews but I had high hopes for this one needed it to work because I go to the coast multiple times a week. This could have possibly saved me some time and gas.
