Sunrise and Sunset Times App

The main feature of this app is to show the sunrise and sunset times in the next 7 days, or in a specific month.

I wanted to have an app that tell when will the sun rise and set, so I can plan my outdoor time. So this app is created as my first try with Flutter - a cross platform app development kit.

How to use

  1. Open the app with one of the badges below:
    Get it on Google Play   Open in any browser
  2. Allow the use of your location.
  3. If you care more about sunlight than actual sunrise and sunset (which I do), check the civil twilight times.
  4. Scroll down to view the sunrise and sunset times for the next 7 days.
  5. For other days click “More days…”.

Accuracy of sunrise and sunset times algorithm

The algorithm in NOAA Sunrise/Sunset and Solar Position Calculators is used in this app. According to its web site, “sunrise and sunset results are theoretically accurate to within a minute for locations between +/- 72° latitude, and within 10 minutes outside of those latitudes. However, due to variations in atmospheric composition, temperature, pressure and conditions, observed values may vary from calculations.”
