Simulate the movements of the sun, the moon, the planets and stars in the sky for any time and from any position on the earth.

Click on the map button to simulate the sky from another place on the Earth.

• Predict the positions of the sun and the moon for any time for any position on the Earth.
• Sunrise, sunset for any given date - just swipe the sky view. Click on date or clock symbol to go back to current time. In the Sun tab, scroll through the days and notice the the sunrise and sunset times changing.
• Click on map symbol to choose a new location on a map.
• Moonrise, moonset for any given date.
• Today widget for quick view
• Notifications
• By swiping the sky view, you change the time and date and the app shows the position of sun and the moon, moon phase, next new or full moon after the chosen date, and how much the daytime has increased since last solstice (December & June) and since Yesterday.
• Swipe fast (fast forward/rewind in time) by using two or three fingers.
• Tap on the info text to toggle between help text and the calculated data.
• Pinch to zoom

Today Widget
• A today widget gives fast access to the essential data about sun and moon, including a red arrow pointing in its direction. Excellent when you only need a quick glance at when the sun sets and it gets dark

Push Messages
• Push messages (actually "local notifications") notify you of sunset, sunrise, new moon, full moon, solstice, equinox (the sun passes equator and day and night have nearly equal length), and these can be turned on or off. Sunset notification can be sent 30 minutes before sunset -- very convenient if you plan on going for a walk to enjoy the sunset.
• Choose in Settings which messages you would like and which you would like to turn off.
• These messages are calculated and updated when the app launches, so if you move long distances the push message will be valid for your previous location. Then just click on the message, and you will enter the app which recalculates and updates the messages for your new location.
• No unsolicited push messages! Only push messages related to sunsets, solstices, equinox etc.

Share Button
• Share to friends and involve them in the fascinating world of Sun and Moon watching, in a Text, Mail, or on social network, beautiful graphics of the sun and the moon including its phase information, the rise and set times, for any given date you choose.
• In a globalized world, with friends around on the planet, have fun comparing the different duration of day, sunrise, sunset.

Change View
• You can change between Sky View and Space View, where each cellestial bodys position in space is carefully and correctly calculated, however distance and sizes of sun and moon have been resized to make them visible.

The moon phase text field shows the moons illumination, and if the moon is in the Earths shadow it changes to Lunar Eclipse (0-100 %), and if the moon covers the sun for your position, the text changes to Solar Eclipse (0-100 %.)

See how sunrise and sunset times differ for various places and dates.

It will work outside network coverage, and in flight mode, however showing your location as an address requires internet connection. With no internet, timezones are off, so if you simulate the sky from another location on Earth, the times are your local time.

If you would rather try it out free, try the Sun and Moon Tracker 3D which in turn has ads and no map for custom location.

And remember, never look directly at the real sun.

Pros and cons of Sun and Moon Tracker 3D Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Sun and Moon Tracker 3D Pro app good for

Anyone in agriculture is always aware of the weather, and has to know when the sun is coming up and going down. This app and the moon faces which is very helpful for a grower who relies on moon phases for planting and harvesting them. An essential tool for making a good living
Its great but can you please add a north side and make the sky animation more realistic like for example the sky would be be like very light before/after sunrise/sunset but in the opposite direction would be a little darker, can you add all of those graphics please?
The sun image is unstable in the enlarged view. I wanted to contact developer directly but couldnt find the info. On non-enlarged view, sun graphic still shows it well above horizon more than 10 minutes past sunset.
(Ill delete what should be private messages from me when your email link is fixed. Thanks, Henning, for your reply.) The sun image is unstable in the enlarged view. I wanted to contact developer directly but couldnt find the info. On non-enlarged view, sun graphic still shows it well above horizon more than 10 minutes past sunset.
