Alpenglow: Sunset Prediction for Negative User Reviews
✓ PoorThis app is pretty inaccurate with its for cast. I m currently sat at Southport beach watching a cracking sunset when the app only gave a 7% “poor” chamce of a good sunset. Pretty much gets it wrong every time unless a settled high pressure..Version: 8.0
✓ So confusing and frustrating but better than nothingIt 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.Version: 7.0.6
✓ Update broke itThe new iOS14 update causes it to close on launch. Now unusable :(.Version: 6.0.2
✓ ISO bugEveytime move my account to a new device ALWAYS forget I bought the lift time version.Version: 9.0.5
✓ A so called great sunsetThe app showed a great sunset and after a hike to watch the ‘great sunset’ it turned into very poor. Not even close to what the app said it would be..Version: 7.1.3
✓ Not very accurate for my areaMaybe it’s because I live on an island and the weather is less predictable short term, but I missed a glorious sunrise today that was rated as poor by the app. I should have been set up for it!! Would love the app otherwise..Version: 7.1.3
✓ BadIt said it was 80.1% sunset which is meant to be great but it was the WORST sunset EVER #sunwasnteventhere.Version: 7.1.2
✓ 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..Version: 7.1.1
✓ No prediction providedNo prediction provided.Version: 4.5.2
✓ Not accurateThis app while in theory is great, has led to some disappointing times. Do not recommend. :(.Version: 8.3.3
✓ Not always accurate but helpfulI 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..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Homescreen outlook widget brokenIt's hard for me to give a fair star rating. Before iOS 16 it would have been 4-5 stars. Not an automatic 5, because I live in a place where the only sunsets are actually alpenglow and they happen in the east. The app doesn't really seem like it can handle that, so most of our sunset quality predictions are wildly inaccurate. But I was fine with that, and used the app mainly for times and not for quality predictions. After the iOS 16 though, the homescreen widget for the outlook has broken. It shows only colored boxes with grey lines where the text should be..Version: 8.0
✓ Widgets Not Working?App used to work amazingly 5/5 but since the latest updates my widgets are now not working? This was the main reason for downloading this app, now the widgets don’t work so I don’t have access to the info on my Home Screen. Have tried everything to fix it but once it is fixed I will leave 5* again..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Crashes when trying to set custom locationI signed up for the annual subscription and immediately canceled after finding out the app crashes every attempt of setting custom location when choosing to set notifications and sunset thresholds. Notify me when it’s fixed for reconsideration..Version: 8.3
✓ Doesn’t help at allFirt time I’ve ever one star reviewed an app. Thought this would be beneficial for recreational/hobbyist photography. Figured I’d at least have a general idea what days might be worth getting into position for a sunset around my home. I know forecasting sunrise/sunsets quality is tricky business and can’t be 100% accurate days out, but I have yet to have one good sunset correlate with a forecast. The forecast 3-5 days out will predict an 80%+ great sunset, a lot of times it will still be forecasting that a day or two before, then without fail it will downgrade the forecast to poor or fair within 12-36 hours of the actual sunrise/sunset. And what is worse is the best sunrises and sunsets we’ve had this winter were not hinted at by the app at all. It’s a useless product that does a terrible job of the one thing it’s supposed to do. Unsure why it has so many positive reviews..Version: 8.2.7
✓ Prediction doesn't work :((Got this app hoping that for a good prediction tool but it doesn't show any predictions :(.Version: 4.7.1
✓ Please helpEvery time I turn on the notifications I want it to send me they keep turning off!😡.Version: 5.3.5
✓ Not workingUnable to purchase subscription, not working..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Inaccurate forecasts and unresponsive developerUPDATE: I’ve increased the review to three stars because the developer did send me a basic email explaining wedding preparations and asking me to send him the emails again. I have done so and I am waiting on a response. Will update review as appropriate. ORIGINAL: I even sent screenshots and photos trying to understand. No response. Deleting app..Version: 7.1.4
✓ Crashes with new updateVery useful app however crashes when opening on iPhone XR ios 14.0.1 after most recent update.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Live update frozenTrying out free version to test live update feature. Apparently there is no way to turn timer off once it’s started. No access to support as support button not working. I like the potential but seems buggy… not sure about spending any money on this..Version: 8.1.6
✓ Look out the window!I’ve found this app to be very inaccurate on sunset quality prediction. Twice it gave a good rating for a sunset and on both occasions it was poor which meant an hours wasted drive to location to take pictures and this evening I felt I had to rate this app as it gave a poor rating so I didn’t bother to venture out and there was a tremendous sunset! So frustrating. I will use my own intuition and eyes from now on and file this app in the bin!.Version: 4.7.5
✓ Doesn’t work wellThis app does not work as advertised. I purchased a life membership, I am now questioning my decision. The app does not change automatically when I travel to the new location, it claims it will but doesn't. What is worse, it misses good sunset alerts. Tonight we had a great sunset, there was no alert on the app. Think twice before investing in the app..Version: 6.3.11
✓ I’ve bought the upgrade but it’s not letting me see full siteI have tried to contact you via social media. No response and I cannot find anywhere else to do it. I’ve bought the upgrade to pay monthly. It originally allowed me to see the upgrades- but then it wouldn’t let me change location. So I closed and reloaded the app. Only for it now to not show me the full app. Be warned everyone- there are faults and no where does it allow you to get immediate help if needed!.Version: 6.4.1
✓ Meh. Consistently inconsistent.Updated: now that the free version only shows a ONE day outlook, this app is useless as I can get all the other info for free elsewhere. A real shame, so much potential here. I’ve been using the free version for a year or two and agree with many others. When it works/is accurate, it’s great. But it’s so inconsistent, that it’s unreliable and doesn’t encourage me to want to actually pay for the pro version. There’s no explanation of what the metrics are for determining poor/fair/great predictions, which is strange. I try to submit field reports when I can, but not sure they’re having any effect. Wish it was better and more accurate and reliable as I like it otherwise..Version: 8.3
✓ Love the idea, but dont rely on it 100%I was so excited after finding this app, but after almost a year of using it I’ve found it can do more harm than good. I cant tell you how many times I’ve seen Good or Great as the forecast a few days out that gradually get reduced to fair or poor. Seriously 90%+ of those that ive seen ended up dropping to fair or poor. Then on the flipside there have been some absolutely killer sunsets when the apps forecast said poor or fair. What prompted me to write this was the other night. It had been raining all afternoon and was going to clear up about an hour before sunset, and more often than not thats a recipe for a crazy one. I left home but forgot my drone, was trying to decide whether I should turn around or go. Looked at the app and it said “20% poor.” Of course then I missed one of the best sunsets ive seen in this city with a crazy rainbow. Its my fault, my instinct was that it was going to be good but the app nudged me the other way. My advice is to use this as a quick look to see what theyre forecasting, then check the weather yourself. If it rains all day and clears up towards the evening, be ready!.Version: 8.3.2
✓ Waste of money, not a good predictor of beautiful sunsetsThere are dozens of sunset apps. I bought this one because I thought it would tell you if the sunset was actually going to be nice or not. Testing it out every time it says it’s going to be a great sunset, it’s not. Conversely, on days it says poor or fair, turns out to be a great sunset. Whatever they’re using to predict if it’s gonna be a nice sunset is not working just tells you when the sun sets and golden hour but you can do that for free with a dozen other apps, not worth the money..Version: 8.2.6
✓ First week. 2.5/5 stars until further notice!Confused as to what metrics the app uses to determine poor, fair, good, and great sunrise/sunsets. It’s not totally clear. Also, my lockscreen widget says the sunset is going to be “great” tonight, but when I click on that and the app opens - it says the sunset is going to be “poor” .. Also what is the “threshold” meter under forecast notifications? How do I determine what % to set it at?.Version: 8.2.3
✓ Great appI’ve tried a few apps like this but none Of them even come close To this it’s easy to use and set up couldn’t ask for much more from This app it just works! Only improvement I would make would be an indicator to show if the level is increasing or dropping, it would make make planning easier if we know how the rating has changed in the past 24 hours..Version: 6.2.4
✓ ReportIt would be nice to help improve when this is incorrect, which it is fairly regularly. This morning I was up at 5am for what was supposed to be a 60% great sunrise. It was overcast, foggy and I snapped a picture to share in reports, but apparently 9mins after the event is too long after… somewhat silly. I don’t find this app to be very good at least in my location.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Not even a full 24 hour forecastFor 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..Version: 6.4.1
✓ It’s good.If you take photos either of yourself, others or just photos in general..this app is great to help you with the lighting. I never put my location into an app because I’m paranoid of everything so I’m not sure if it would do this if you just allow your location services. But I put my location in manually and whenever I get off the app, I have to put in back in. It’s very inconvenient. I feel like it’s basically a free similar app to “golden hour” would recommend..Version: 4.3.4
✓ Doesn’t workI’ve downloaded the app to see the quality of sunsets ahead, and even though i paid a “tip” it still only says “error fetching” or “unavailable” 0/10.Version: 5.3
✓ Feedback is not available now.There was a feedback available in the past. So I can provide an on-site photos to prove the forecast was not right. Sounds like this option is purposely missing now..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Freebie version is very limitedI used to be able to see tomorrow’s forecast and now I can’t because it’s locked for pro which means the free app is pretty useless - the only way to get a sunrise forecast is to either stay up until after midnight or wake up super early before sunrise on the day to get a sunrise forecast..Version: 8.3.1
✓ InaccurateGreat idea but predictions are constantly inaccurate in my case.Version: 6.2.13
✓ Useless.Lovely design but unfortunately the sunrise/sunset outlooks are not accurate at all (e.g. it’s predicting 68% ‘Good’ when there’s 100% cloud cover and complete overcast sky)..Version: 8.1.2
✓ PredictionsThey don’t actually tell you the ‘predictions’ of the sunrises or sunsets so that’s a bit disappointing..Version: 4.6
✓ Can’t find my locationIt’s not very good at finding my location it takes way to long.. I love all the information and simple lay out but wish it could find my location or atleast something closer by then 3 hours away....Version: 3.2
✓ It’s never been accurate for meIt’ll say there’s going to be this utterly fantastic sunset. I’ll go out and it’s the worst more bland thing you’ve ever seen. Happens multiple times. Going to give it more chances since I’ve paid for it now….Version: 8.3.3
✓ Nice but widgets are way offThis app is a good idea, but when one widget shows one set of times and another one has a different set of times, you have to wonder what’s really going on. It showed the next event for me was blue hour at 9:43 PM. That was at 5:30 AM, before sunrise and the time for that blue hour would be 3-4 hours after sunset, so I wouldn’t call it accurate.Version: 7.0.5
✓ Useful but watch the timingsThere is some great information here but watch out for inconsistent timing. The app is currently telling me that sunset is in 1 hour at 8.20. It is currently 6.30.Version: 6.4.1
✓ It used to be good....This used to be one of my most used apps for planning my sunset shots. Since the update it hasn't worked as it used to. Uninstalling it and replacing it with GoldenHour..Version: 4.2
✓ DON’T do the update!!This app worked perfectly fine until the ‘rewritten’ for iOS 14 update. Such a shame as this app was really helpful!.Version: 6.0
✓ I wish this was betterIt 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..Version: 7.1
✓ Predictions not workingI have used this app before last year on my old iPhone, and it was very helpful in providing accurate predictions and timings, however, when updating the app it won’t load any predictions, which is extremely unhelpful..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Worst app everI love the idea of this app, but the execution was not there. what about a cloudy overcast grey sky makes an 100% great sunset? the ratings of each sunset are just not even close to what they should be, who made this app? lovely idea, doesn’t work. shame..Version: 8.1.6
✓ Inaccurate and now pretty uselessHave been using the free version for a while. Half the time it’s incorrect and you’re better off using other proper weather apps to make an accurate prediction yourself. The free version also now seems to be limited to same day. So unless you set your alarm for midnight (and you’ve probably gone to bed early if you want to catch a sunrise in the height of summer) if you want to catch a sunrise it’s now pretty useless for sunrises..Version: 8.3.1
✓ Could do better if it was consistentThe idea is good & it uses the right type of info but you can look at a rating as good, move forward a day then go back to the original rating to only find that it’s changed to a completely different value/rating. No idea why..Version: 5.3.10
✓ Does not workChecked a few times during the day for the same day and it said very poor sunset, in reality there was an amazing sunset out there.Version: 8.2.10
✓ AlpenglowWaste of space !.Version: 6.4
✓ My first time using this app and it was wrongIt 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 😭.Version: 7.1.3
✓ App unusableHave been using this app for a while. Made a donation to aid development. It has now become unusable. Every time I attempt entering a location the field immediately disappears off of the bottom of the screen after entering the first letter..Version: 4.7.7
✓ Map function uselessThe map is useless. Such poor quality and basic you can’t plan for where you want to be and need to be. Suggest you try free version before paying..Version: 7.1.5
✓ NopeIncorrect information, disappointing to be completely honest..Version: 4.6
