We've all missed a great Sunrise, Sunset, or Golden Hour, missing out on those magical hours of gorgeous lighting. Alpenglow tries to make that a thing of the past with reminders and forecasts.

Love the whole concept, subscribed to Pro even. BUT the widgets are not working. I keep seeing a "Edit Widget to Select a Location" in the widget, even though I've definitely selected a location. Known bug?

@justinscheetz Widgets have been a bit temperamental in iOS 14 unfortunately. Are you seeing this on a particular widget? Will dig in.

@justinscheetz Thanks for letting me know. Will see if I can spot anything to smooth that out.

I've always been into Sunrises and Sunsets and am always frustrated when I catch the last glimmer of an amazing Sunrise/Sunset. Alpenglow started off as a very different app over 4 years ago requiring users to submit their own scores of how a Sunrise/Sunset is looking, using them to then alert other users nearby. Since then people with way more understanding of weather and the science behind what makes a great Sunrise/Sunset have created models for forecasting sunrise/sunset quality which Alpenglow uses today. You can view your locations upcoming Sunrise/Sunset forecasts, set reminders, and with Alpenglow Pro enable Forecast Notifications if a particular event is forecast to be above a set threshold. With Version 6 of Alpenglow, I've completely rewritten the app with SwiftUI and added support for iOS 14 Widgets. In the coming weeks, I'll be adding an Apple Watch app with Forecast Complications. Going full circle now that the app has a decent userbase, I am in the process of testing out the ability for users to submit reports validating forecasts which I hope to utilize to increase accuracy over time. Would love to hear any thoughts.

@ay8s Just downloaded, great experience so far. Honestly no feedback, literally love this solution, especially for free.

It is a nice concept, there is also another potential besides sunset and sunrise, such as the cycle of the moon in a month. Would love to see if there is such an app for it.

@ravin_rau1 definitely. There’s a bunch of awesome apps for tracking the moons phases and moon rise/set.

Cool idea, I subscribed and will test out the forecast accuracy. P.s. please fix the widget, it’s super buggy :/

@seanthesapien Thanks Sean, are you seeing this with the Forecast Widget or a different one? Will take a look.

@ay8s I’ve noticed it primarily with the forecast widget when using it in a stack (widget appears blank).

Love the idea and execution looks *incredible* that animation of the mountain and the sun!

@david_furlong thanks! :) I’ve been trying to figure out the cause of this one as it works fine for the majority of users. Would you be up for sharing which version of iOS 14 you’re on and I’ll try and replicate? Does flicking between light/dark modes help at all?
