Comments on The Sun Now for Android

★★★★★ Joseph Zajk · Dec 6, 2025

Why can't NASA update the certificate for you to display the information. I love this app the information is available at Space Weather. SDO is featured and up to date.

★★★★☆ Antryg Revok · Dec 1, 2023

While good, it's missing a couple features it *should* have: OK, you can use an image to set your device's wallpaper, but why it has to be BOTH wallpaper AND lock screen?? Why can't we decide to have 1, OR other, be current Sun, & other being our favorite place on Earth?? -- Why can't it sleep 6h and auto-update that wallpaper or lock screen, in background? -- why so many confirmations for wallpaper? -- Why can't it add sides, so we see WHOLE Sun, instead of Android's auto-trim'd version?

★★★★★ Nick Homer · Jul 28, 2021

Great, current views of our star. In multiple spectrums.

★★★★★ Joseph Zajk · Aug 15, 2023

This is vital to see the state of the sun. Very basic but solid data

★☆☆☆☆ RSTV Productions · Nov 22, 2021

Doesn't load sun images. Stopped loading months ago which is a shame.

★★☆☆☆ A Google user · Feb 23, 2017

Want to give it 5 stars, but it keeps crashing, might be my electronics.

★☆☆☆☆ Stellarsue · Sep 20, 2025

★☆☆☆☆ mary frances · Oct 15, 2017
