Comments on Golden Hour for Android

★★★★★ K Sarver · Jan 12, 2023

Handy and accurate. I use it all the time for outdoor photography.

★★★★★ Lee'ad Leevneh · Jun 13, 2021

Simple and precise. Just what you need to get a daily dose of that soft golden light, e.g. for your afternoon walk or evening chill.

★★★★★ Mary Kirpa · Jul 13, 2024

Such a convenient app! It works flawlessly. I love planning my day around the sunset and golden hour.

★★★★★ jennings ford · Feb 8, 2023

As a photographer, I find this a most valuable app! We shoot at different times of day and it is so helpful to know where the sun and moon are, when is Golden Hour, Blue Houe, etc. That way we can plan ahead for when and what locations to use.

★☆☆☆☆ Kevan B · May 22, 2021

Once again the app has stopped giving any notifications. This has happened several times before, and usually takes months before it is made functional again.

★☆☆☆☆ Grant Nelson · Mar 18, 2026

I've used this app for a long time, but it has suddenly stopped working. Did a complete uninstall/reinstall to no avail. Sad. Luckily, other such resources are available.

★☆☆☆☆ Stéphane Paris · Jul 3, 2021

App was running perfectly... Until I updated it. Unknown error and that's it. No more golden hour timing 😔 note 10 +

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Cowan · Mar 3, 2026

Crashes on opening. Was working fine and now doesn't open...

★★☆☆☆ Capybara Boomboom · Jun 17, 2023

It is crazy to me why you can't just point the phone, and it just POINTS where the sun will rise/set ? Right now I have to check the degrees and then open the compass app... It would be nice if the app showed you where it's going to be directly. Also, why not include the moon ? Moon is very important too... 😊
