United StatesOne of the easiest ways to become a happier person is to experience more sunlight every day. Skylight can help make that happen through a beautiful app experience designed for everyone. Create a routine around sunrise every morning. Remind yourself to step out at solar noon for a sun break. Take better photos by shooting during Golden Hour. Start getting outside to see the sunset more. Gain a better sense of sunlight lost and gained through the seasons and adjust your routine to make sure you get enough light. Motivate yourself through the winter months by reminding yourself that days are getting longer. The uses are endless but the goal is the same - better living through more sunlight. Skylight includes a universal app for iPad and iPhone, an Apple Watch app with complications, and three widgets. The Apple Watch complications show you how much sunlight is left in the day, or when upcoming events like Golden Hour are taking place. The complications are a beautiful addition to the watch face and offer one of the most effective ways to use the app. The Today Widget shows you the app information in a quick, glanceable form, so daylight info is always at your fingertips, either in your Today view or with a 3D Touch on the app icon. Features include: - Beautiful fluid visual display showing the position of the sun over time. - Comprehensive notifications & alarms for daily and yearly sun events. - Three different configurable widgets: Year Graph, Daylight Graph, and Gradient. - Apple Watch app and complications with daylight clock and events. - Year view, showing the entire year's daily sun events with a simple drag of your finger. - Detailed event views, describing each sun event and showing the earliest and latest. dates on which it occurs. - Date picker to see sun information from dates in the past or future. - Location picker to see sun events and graphs for anywhere on earth. - Multiple time modes, including specialized modes for photography and science. - Support for all display sizes and device orientations. - Spotlight support, so you can just type "Golden Hour" from your phone's home screen to pull up today's info. - Skylight can optionally use GPS in the background to ensure notifications are correct even if you change location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Skylight is an indie app developed by the creators of Magic Window. We strive to make beautiful software that connects people with the world. If you have any issues or questions please contact us at [email protected].
Widget
Widget does not update in the background I have to click on it for it to update. It shows me 49% of the day left where there was only 19% left. I will update my review when app gets updated
United StatesGreat App!
This app presents solar activity for the day and year in graph format. I find it very useful. For one thing, I did not realize the difference in sunrise and sunset variation during the year; morning hours do not fluctuate as much as evening. Also, day length is not evenly balanced, so the sun continues to rise later even after it begins setting later with lengthening days. Who knew? Another thing I like is seeing the return of daylight day by day. I see it with my eyes of course but it’s helpful for awareness to also see it in a graphic format. I check the year graph widget daily.

Waste of money
United StatesAbsolutely the most beautiful I’ve found
I’ve been meaning to say this for a while now, but typically don’t write reviews. However, having gone through a few other apps that claim to provide similar information, I struggled to use them because they all had these horribly ugly “color wheels” that are so hard to even read. What you have done with this app is stunningly beautiful! More natural colors of the sun’s position (instead of just hideous oranges) AND you’ve done it in a way that makes total sense! In fact, I wish I could use your widgets as the background of my watch! Unfortunately, I have so much info on there already, it would all get lost in your app!! LOL Thank you, so much for creating what is the most beautiful, informative and easy to understand app about the sun’s daily and annual cycles. And for doing it for the Watch, too! I’m amazed at how many developers just don’t seem to know or care that the Watch exists. I use it as much as my iPhone, and would use it much more if more developers like you took the time to do what you have done. Unfortunately, it seems like 90% of Watch apps are all fitness crap things. You have done more than create a wonderfully amazing app for the Watch. You’ve proven that there can be more to a Watch app than “did I drink water? Or “ how many steps did I take?” The Watch can be an intellectual an educational tool for so much more in the world. Personally, I don’t give a darn about how many steps or drinks of water I’ve had because I already did all that naturally before the Watch or iPhone even came along. If you’re too stupid to drink enough water, you should probably re-examine your life, not buy an app. THIS APP TAKES IT ALL TO AN INTELLECTUAL LEVEL IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WAY, I BELIEVE EVEN STEVE JOBS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD. Thank you, again, for the thought, effort, time and whatever else you’ve put into this app. It is actually one of (now) 4 apps which have kept me from trashing my Apple Watch as a waste of time and money. Thank you!! I have to say it again. I just can’t help it. You chose awesome colors for this app! I was using Sundial, because I really liked the watch complication, but the developer stopped the Watch app. :p Then I found SolarWatch, and while I liked the idea, the color wheel thing is HORRIBLE! Painful to look at. This app, Skylight, not only does what the others did, but you made it enjoyable to use. Seriously, the guy who wrote SolarWatch and thought a large widget of just that wheel thing was a good idea! That’s pretty much when I trashed it for good. LUCKILY, I had already found your app and only use it now. I honestly like looking at my iPhone more. Just thought you’d like to know!

United StatesMissing a lot place
I live this app but there’s a lot missing small town on search bar can you fix it?

Love this app, informs when daylight appears and when it ends. Continue to use your gifts to create, it has been a blessing that you share your gift with all those that love to see the gifts that God has given them and then for them to share them with the world. Hopefully this will inspire others to do the same and appreciate the gifts which God has given to individuals and hopefully many will stop complaining and see what God has created in them and then put those things to use and stop wasting the talents and creativity when God has given them. The bible says ones gift will make room for them, so in other words no one should be broke or without funds to substain one’s self for their daily bread because ones gift will put enough food and substance in ones life to enable them to take care of themselves on a daily basis as long as they are alive. One day at a time.
