User Reviews for Alpenglow: Sunset Forecasts

Polish and Product Pride

Long time photographer, and when I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to check more data and detailed forecasts, this is great. Bought lifetime to support and also just because yay, no subscription! Price may be steep to some for lifetime, but hey, the days of one-time purchases are gone, so the developer even giving us an option is great. Subscription prices are definitely reasonable, too. One thing I’d ask for is (contradicting my own review) for a bit more data. I can hop into one of my many weather apps and see exactly why a sunrise/sunset is going to be good/bad, but sometimes, it’d be nice to get the breakdown of info in the app. Next, a page layout for locations. Obviously, conditions don’t vary much over the course of a couple miles, but as someone who regularly makes trips halfway across Texas (which is many hundreds of miles), conditions vary greatly, and it’d be great to just swipe between pages for each location. For example Houston, Austin, and Dallas… Really no complaints about the app, especially considering this is made by one person. Polish you rarely see nowadays. Much love and respect from a fellow nerd. 🙏Lastly, I’d love a combo large widget, with times AND quality forecasts on it. We have a large times widget, but I’d love to see a large one that combines quality forecasts and times. Would be so nice, so useful, and undoubtedly beautifully designed. Please! :)

Not even a full 24 hour forecast

For the last few weeks I have only been able to view the current day’s sunset forecast. I guess I could view that mornings sunrise forecast but then I’d have to wake up before sunrise to look at an app to tell me if the sunrise will be good when I could just get up and look out the window. I gave two stars because it was a pretty decent app when you could check the next morning forecast the night before and make plans for potential sunrise photos.

It’s wrong more than it’s right…

Aplenglow simply isn’t at all accurate at predicting the necessary cloud formations for picturesque sunrises and sunsets. It very often predicts good or better conditions when there isn’t a cloud in the sky. The App is useful for exact sunrise/sunset times, but many weather apps include it as well. You’re much better off learning to do it yourself by scanning the Nation Weather Service forecast website & AccuWeather, plus learning through experience what typically happens in your area in terms of cloud formation and wind patterns. If you’re traveling to an unfamiliar area, check the NWS site and a few weather Apps to get a sense of the local cloud/overcast predictions in the AM & PM on location. Local TV station’s weather forecasts can give you insight into what typically happens at various times in any given area.

I wish this was better

It seems like the person/team behind this app put a lot of effort and research into their methodology, but unfortunately it just doesn’t work. None of it: 1) the app - I don’t get alerts for the threshold I set. When I tap the widget for the day’s forecast it takes me to a forecast from whenever it was the last time I opened the app. I would care less about the second point if the first worked properly - and I pay for this version. And 2) the forecasts themselves. The only ones consistently nailed are obvious rainy/overcast times. Too often there’s a spectacular event on a 20-30% predictor, and too often a dud on the higher ends. I know it’s still a bit of a crapshoot in predicting, but isn’t the whole point in having a methodology that is BETTER than a crapshoot? This ain’t it. At least for the midwest. Maybe this works better out West when there are fewer meteorological factors or something.

Useful Feature

Your app is awesome! I use it every day to check the sunset quality. I think you should make the blue hour when the sun is between 4 and 8° below the horizon, that way the blue hour will have a little more time. I also think you should add times for first light and nightfall, when the sun is 18° below the horizon, this will be useful for Astro photographers. Other than that, it's an amazing app!

Sunrise sunrise

One of my all time favorite things to do is watch the sunset. I live a 1/2 block from the beach so it equals a nice walk in the evenings. When it comes to sunrise, I’m just not a morning person. I enjoy this app because it helps me to know if it’s worth getting up for in the morning. The new design is really pretty. I love how it breaks every part of the sunrises and sunsets down. You can’t get better than this app. Highly recommend!

My first time using this app and it was wrong

It said that the sunrise was poor but it was actually ok got my picture and I liked it it wasn’t good good but it was good and I wanna depend on this app so I can get all the good sunsets and sunrises cause there my happy place so hopefully y’all can fix y’all app a little more so we’re it actually tells us what it actually is not just say poor and it’s not even poor I’m sorry I’m tryna explain this in the best way I can but I’m bad at explaining 😭

Not always accurate but helpful

I use this app to see how the sunrise and sunset are forecasted. The app is not always correct. Some days it will say the sunrise or sunset will be great but turns out a bust. Other days it is the opposite. Each day is different. When the app is correct, the sunrises and sunsets photographed are awesome! It is little annoying to get up each to capture what is forecasted as a beautiful sunrise that turns out to be not so great and/or colorful. I would rate it 2.5 stars but I have to round up to 3 stars.

So confusing and frustrating but better than nothing

It does different things all the time. I find it be very inaccurate perhaps I don’t know how to use it but I’ll look for the sunset information and even when it rarely says good…. it’s bad or vice a versa. I find it very in inaccurate but like I said in the description it does help and it is better than nothing but I’m not a fan.. perhaps you have to pay big money to get the good features I don’t know. I use the free version

Great app for photography

I’m a photographer and when I’m planning where I’m going to shoot this app is imperative. Being able to gauge sunrise and sunset quality before I decide on a location is critical if I only have a few days at a location. I couldn’t recommend this app more highly.
