Works fine on iPhone and iPad. A very nifty app for knowing current and future location of sun and moon, as well as other cool facts. Works for current location or location of your choice.
Very good

Gives sunrise, sunset and twilight times for the current location or a location chosen from a map. You can use the current date, or any date you choose. Twilight times are civil, nautical and astronomical twilight. The time zone can also be specified. The default location is in the center of the USA, you need to tap the locate tab to find your current location times. This is a complete set of sunrise - sunset information, well done.
Excellent

Just downloaded this and I really like it. I like the fact that you can go to any location on the planet, as well as choose the date. Didn't give it five stars for a few reasons. One, too new to me to judge completely. Two, no city search feature. Three, I'm not certain it adjusts for daylight savings time. It put me in the Mountain time zone (UTC-7), but I'm not. I'm in Pacific (UTC - 8). Unless that was how it adjusted since it got the times right. If so, that's a little odd. But this will come in handy as a point of inquiry for my 6th grade earth science class!
Exactly what I was looking for

This is simple, easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. Gives nautical and civilian, sunrise and sunset times. I wish there was a paid version to remove ads otherwise perfect.
Love It!

Great app. Love to see it being updated for iOS 9 and hope to see continued development. Would gladly pay IAP to remove ads. Very useful app. Great update for automatic time zone handling.
