BUMP-- A DEVELOPER RESPONSE WOULD BE NICE..... I’ve been using this app for years, but I went to install it on another device of mine only to discover it wanted money. I am not complaining about a service costing money, but I don’t want to re-buy something I already own. How can I know if I already paid for this in the past and should look to see if my current settings are wrong to get it to acknowledge that previous purchase?
Update: “system” theme fixed in widget so it automatically switches between light and dark. One star added. I’ve used this app for years, mostly to check the sunrise and sunset times, and the moon phase. I love the new widget. My one nit is the color scheme. I have iOS set to automatically shift from light during the day to dark at night. It would be really nice if LunaSolCal also supported this. In the main app, the only choices are dark and light. The widget offers dark, light, and system. I hoped that “system” meant that it would select whatever scheme iOS was using. But as far as I can tell, system doesn’t do anything. Still, other than that it’s a great app.
11 MAY 2019 Developer, Thank you for the reply. Since leaving my updated review about this problem I have discovered that sometimes opening and closing the app is enough the restore notifications. However when that fails, turning off the alarm in question, turning it back on, re-selecting both the time and the tone restores notification mode. I do not use “do not disturb” mode, so that isn’t the problem here. My other apps consistently send notifications so I don’t think it’s a problem with the settings or iPhone. It seems that when I mute a notification while the alarm is going off the app turns off future notifications. I haven’t tested this, it may only be an annoying coincidence. I gave back 2 stars because of your quick reply And I figured out how to fix it. MAY 2019 Alarms for sunrise and sunset no longer work. I have turned them off and back on, adjusted them (to go off one minute before the event, etc.) and changed the alarm sound; nothing works. Alarms still go off for moon rise and moon set, solar noon, and the equinoxes so I don’t think it is my iPhone being squirrelly. Unfortunately, the sunrise and sunset alarms are most important alarms. Not having them is a huge disappointment. 😢 DEC 2017 This is a fantastic app — as it always has been — it works very well with the latest iPhone OS. I especially like the customizable alarms which you can set for any number of celestial events. Keep up the good work guys!
