Sun Alarm Sunrise Sunset

This alarm would be great, if it worked consistently. We wanted an alarm to remind us of dusk, so we could go close up the chicken coop to keep out evening/night predators. Sometimes it goes off at dusk, sometimes it doesn't go off. Sometimes it goes off in the middle of the night. It seems if I am carrying the phone, and so it is active due to my motion, it works consistently. But if its just sitting on a table or a charger, its inconsistent. Frustrating. Deleting and looking for a better answer.

Don't save the alarms in the app cache. While 6.0.0.1 marshmallow prevents other apps from deleting app cache, older versions will allow apps like ccleaner to delete the alarms stored in app cache. Also, I sometimes format /cache. Hopefully, the alarms aren't stored in there. Suggestions for improvement: edit alarms rather than delete and re-add new. Alarms should change dynamically while changing location. GUI material design overhaul.

It doesn't have a way to download a song from mp3 files, even though it say it does. Uninstalled this app. Very disappointed.

I love this app & would give it 5 stars, IF it didn't erase all my alarms each time the phone is turned off or restarted.

Does not work. Unable to set an alarm.

A must for creatures of the night!

I just wanted an alarm every day at sunset and sunrise. Didn't work.

Exactly what I was looking for. Works great on my S5. No problems at all.

Doesn't initiate an alarm.

Works good on Samsung S5 and on my new Samsung customized S12

This is the closest they come to a good alarm app. It lets you set an alarm for before or after the actual time, but it needs to have this separate so you get early notification for setting times and later notification for rising times. Unless your horizon is completely flat this is always the case. It also doesn't seem to take into account daylight savings time. Should make/add moon rise/set capability.

I've tried to install this on my Galaxy 5 several times now (on separate occasions spread out by a few months). It says it's downloaded and installed, but it doesn't show up in my app list or as an icon. Very disappointing.

I create alarm and it dissapears, sometimes in couple of weeks, sometimes in couple of days. Reported that to developer, no results...

This app would be perfect except for one thing ... It massively cranks up the volume of any alarm tone you select so loud that it actually distorts the sound on my phone. No ability to set volume in app. Please either allow user to set volume or stop the app overriding the system alarm volume. The noise is just awful. For me this makes the app unusable.

It doesn't have a way to download a song from mp3 files, even though it say it does. Uninstalled this app. Very disappointed.

After trying virtually every app, this one actually allows for daily reminder of sunset, and the type of alarm or notification and ring tone and the all critical N minutes before. Great for time lapse photograohers and those worried about vampires. Thank you!

Interface could use some polishing up, but very useful

Does what I want

forgot about daylight saving time :(

Excellent!

Some reviews mention limitations but I have not found them as updates have probably fixed them.

Please include the ability to also set an alarm x hours before the sunrise.. For example 8 hours before and then you will get 5 stars from me..

Perfect for what I need

I now absolutely love this app.

But since the last update- or was it two updates ago?- it crashes every time the alarm is supposed to go off... :-( EDIT/RESPONSE: I had daily alarms set with ringtones before the update. They're just not working at all anymore and the app closes... I suppose I could delete them and start over... EDIT/RESPONSE: so after deleting and redoing, they are so far working. However, I liked the sound it used to make of three little tones as it was unobtrusive and now you don't have that option anymore :-(

All I want is an automatic sunrise alarm that allows me to use my own music. Is that too much to ask? Apparently so since after years of Sunrise alarms not ONE of the apps that come out ever have this feature. Who the hell wants to wake up to an annoying ringtone? Uninstalled.

I look forward to using it, but it's quite frustrating that I can't even set an alarm, because once I select the song that I want to use as my alarm, it keeps playing. And playing. And playing. If I select another instead, the first continues through the second. Keep the window open while we select the tone, and stop the song when we close it!

It is good overall but there are two points that I struggle with. The alarms are invasive. A simple & QUIET chime would be nice. When I use the alarm I start to hate this app too much. In an earlier version the notifications would actually chime for about 30 seconds on my phone. This was perfect, as I could use it all day. The other point is some inconsistencies on the display of the next event, but this doesn't result in missed notifications.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. The UI for setting up alarms is a bit clunky, but that only needs to be done once, and then it works perfectly.

The first 2 menu items are switched around find location by gps should be on top and wireless on bottom

Good selection of sun phases. Would like a bedtime notification based on when I get up. If you increased the time offset to +/- 12hrs and changed the slider to more precise numeric input, it would meet my needs. I was wondering when someone would create this type of alarm - good job!

Does what I want it to do overall. When Sleep as Android starts a silent profile, Sun Alarm would crash if it tried to make a notification alarm. To avoid crashing, Sun Alarm ignores the silent profile. If the silent profile is active, that means I'm still asleep and don't want to be disturbed. I would rather Sun Alarm obey the silent profile and not crash. Some mornings I'm awake before the Sun Alarm, and I would like to hear it when the silent profile is off.

The functionality was great, but each day after the alarms went off my phone would not return to the energy saving (screen off) mode until I rebooted.

Really like the app, but the one feature I can't use is the map location selection as I am registered blind and use the TalkBack screen feature. Could you possibly add a search field in the map location suggestion to search by town etc that might resolve this? Thanks.

I can't figure out how to edit an alarm. I wish there were more options for repeating alarms e.g. weekly on a given day.

Would like to be able to set the alarm for 30 minutes before sunset.

Won't let you set alarm time
