About this app
Home screen widget that display an image of the earth indicating the sun shade on the globe. The app shows data for sunrise and sunset for the current location or any selected location.
When adding a widget, a default view is selected. By checking the option "Follow position", the projection will be selected to follow your current position. The current position is marked with a red dot. A location may be selected by tapping the globe, which then is marked by a violet dot. Tapping outside the globe again selects the current location.
By default, the widget occupies two by two cells on the home screen. Press and hold the widget to enable resizing.
After installation it is possible to add a widget to the home screen (tap and hold).

Have always loved this app, however since last update the widgets won't auto update, I've checked settings and it will only 'allow while using the app' there is no option to allow all the time like other widgets. So it will only update when you go into the app. Please sort, great app. Thanks for the reply, yeah it was background location update, but still an awesome app, well done, keep up the good work. 5*s.

Thanks for reviewing. True that location only updates in forground, been like that for a while. More connected to Google policicy than technical reason. Did not see much benefit of background location update but should maybe reconsider. Or you refer to time update?

Experience is good, however cant you built one more 1×1 size widget that will occupy less screen space? Thanks for your response, I know that the size of the widget can be made 1*1 by drag n Pull method, however the blank space it consumes apart from the actual widget is quite a space, i suggest you to eliminate these blank spaces from both sides of the widget.

Ok, I see. I guess you have already set the "margin" attribute to 0 in the settings. Then the margin is quite small. But the remaining margin is built in to the image rendering. Should be good idea to remove also this updating this part.

Great visualization of day/night. Well done. Some suggestions for future versions if you dont mind. (1)Dark mode(2)Pinch-zoomable globe(3)Lat-long lines on/off(4)Earth axis tilt displayed. (5) Light bands on the globe just like on the day/night bar display (dawn,sun rise, dusk, twilight etc) Excellent work thanks very much :)
