Pros and cons of Sun n Moon app for iPhone and iPad

Sun n Moon app good for

This is the first application I look at each day. Its great to track the change in the interval between sunrise and sunset, especially as we move towards spring.
The application has a great interface - really big letters, and easy navigation. I like that it calculates the sunrise and sunset automatically based on my exact GPS coordinates. Or if I want to pick a different city or different date, I can do that too. Moon phases and sun and moon position slider on the compass are great new additions.
I like the easy to read numbers. Gives info about sun, moon, phase of moon and even has a compass. Dont need to be connected to calculate times or go to a different city or location. Like the phases of the moon and the addition of the slide to animate the position and elevation of the sun and moon throughout the day.
Sun n Moon gives me all the info I need. I like that it automatically finds my locatin and calculates rise and set times. Compass view is interesting to see the different positions and elevations of the sun and moon during the day.
This app gets you the info you are looking for very quickly and intuitively. Excellent work!
Great and easy to use. The different screens and menus work and look good.

Some bad moments

In addition to "Help" there are four "views" i.e. Sun, Moon, Compass and Settings. Whenever I open this application, I can only see the Sun view and Help. Tapping any of the other views quit the program, making it totally useless. I think I should get a refund, because purchasing this app seems to be a total waste of time and money. CSK
What can I say you still cant find my house but you are getting closer. you atleast found the street.
The interface is nice, but the application is missing one huge thing: It needs an option to enter a zip code. Using major cities is useful for time-setting, but not for sunset/sunrise, as this differs from location to location. I suppose for iPhone users it might work OK, but for iPod Touch users this is not sufficient, as Wi-Fi network location is far less than accurate at any given time. The software tried to locate me and had the sun setting 2 hours later than it actually does. But the closest major city listed is Denver, CO, USA—600 miles away and far to the east, leaving sunset off by several minutes. Not good.
It doesnt just give you the times, but it also shows me my exact location, my time zone, and it can tell me the info i need for many many many years into the future. Love to see more updates (soon) : ) Especially the option to view a customizable calendar, with the availiablity to see the sunset and sunrise time for that day, or moon rise and moon set, ect, for however many days, months, or years the user wants to see without having to scroll through the dates and then check that info for them seperately.
Nice look but does not save lat. and long. info and I am at a location where autolocate is not available so I had to enter that data manually evertime I wanted to use it. Too much of a drag... I lost my $0.99.
No longer works. I paid for the app and now with the new OS, none of the functions work. What a waste.
