• Fully supported on iOS7 and iOS8.
• My most popular request - Access to your device's location is now entirely optional. If you don't want to give the app access to your location, then simply disable location access and manually choose your location on the map. The location you choose will be saved and will be reused the next time you start the app. We still recommend that you allow location access though - this means the app will be more accurate and automatically adjust the sunrise and sunset times depending on where you are.
• Implement iOS8 location security.
• Improved contrast between the background and text making the app easier to read.
• Greater accuracy at extreme latitudes.
• Support for iOS larger text sizes.
• Fit and finish UI improvements - we've cleaned up and modernised some rough edges we spotted on the user interface.
• Other minor bug fixes.
This is the first app I wrote some years ago and I'm really happy to have modernised it for newer devices. The app behind the scenes has been completely rewritten, although I've worked hard to keep the same user interface that is well loved while introducing new features that you've asked for.
Thank you again for your support and constructive feedback. If you have any suggestions please do email us from the support page, and if you love the app please do leave a great review in the app store. Enjoy!
