Features

• Display altitude angle
• Display part of the day ↓
• Set thresholds ↓
• Personalize to your needs
• Beautiful widget backgrounds
• Follows you wherever you are
• Auto-updates every 30 minutes
Thresholds
Ever wanted to know at an easy glance when the sunset will be today or when will it get dark? You're in the right place; you can easily set up a threshold to see when the sun will transition to a given angle range, here are a few examples:
• sunrise and sunset (default)
• start/end of twilights (presets)
• UV/B benefits (preset) ↓
• Any custom angle
If you want more of these, just put more widgets, they are don't occupy much home screen space.
UV/B benefits
Your health can benefit from – not more than 30 minutes a day – exposure to the Sun when it's high enough. The atmosphere only lets UV/B rays through when the Sun is above 50°. This is not a health advice, read more on this:

Parts of the day
The widget will display the following part of the day, each with a corresponding background image:
• sunrise, sunset at 0°: short period of time when the Sun transitions over the horizon
• day-time, night: longer parts of the day when the Sun is farthest from the horizon
• civil twilight, dawn/dusk at -6°: the sky is dull blue, lighting conditions are suitable for every-day activities, but there are no shadows
• nautical twilight, dawn/dusk at -12°: the sky is very dark blue, some stars become visible, the horizon is still visible
• astronomical twilight, dawn/dusk at -18°: the sky is already black, stars become apparently visible

Permissions
GPS Location: the Sun's position highly depends on where on Earth you are. Few kilometers away and the sunset already a few minutes different. Don't worry about battery drain, the widget uses the last location if available. Only updates when the screen is on every 30 minutes; or when you tap it.
Background Location: home screen widgets need to access location all the time in order to show up-to-date information.
Any feedback is warmly welcome and will be taken into consideration!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Outstanding. If you have trouble with widget size, dig into your phone screen and text size...
3 ★While it does what is stated in the description, I find that the sunrise and sunset times to be a bit off the mark for my location. There is no manual way of setting the location and the verifying the timezone. Nevertheless I like the app and hope that the accuracy error is rectified. If everything works fine then four stars.
4 ★Looking for something like this since long. Just add options for manual location, not displaying start end times in lower part of widget and background colour with transparency and this will be worth five stars! 👌💐 PS: Thanks for your response. Frankly I downloaded this because LunaSolCal doesn't provide an altitude widget. It provides more detailed info so I separately use it already. Further, my small phone causes the 1×1 cell to be too small for too much text to be legible…
5 ★Essential tool which allows you to know exactly the best time to go out for10 minutes sun exposure for max vit. D production. Essential.
2 ★Installed but it doesn't appear in my apps nor show the sun position on day Google apps. Maybe I'm missing something something? Uninstalled.
1 ★Did not successfully install-icon not found
3 ★Good service
