I've anxiously been waiting for an app like this. This is a beautiful implementation, but I have two suggestions: 1.) The terminators ought to be smooth (why are thy stepped?). It would be cool if they 'faded' as they do in reality (i.e., civil / astronomical twilight). 2.) Less important, but location sensitivity would be nice. Further down the road, it would be neat to be able to zoom in on a region.

Great effort! I'd like to see this information on a flat projection as well. Another improvement would be to allow zooming in. I travel extensively and knowing when to expect the sunrise and sunsets is an aid to navigation from an airplane's window or a ship's deck.

Fantastic, a wow for any Earth/Science geek. Will definitely be using this in my 8th grade science classroom, as well as at home & on the road! Gives the big perspective/view for our planet & moon, in real time, and very visually-- beautiful.

I love seeing exactly where the Sun is directly overhead and the ability to see the Latitude, and Longitude of where the Sun is directly overhead on this planet.
Can you add a feature to lock on the Sun, and zoom in, like with Microsoft Terraserver maps?
Take a look at GeoClock for the PC
Thanks

Thank you Developer for this stuningly beautiful, highly functional app!

Zoom would be great and a brief discussion on what each took is used for. It's a bit pricey for what you get; $4.99 is too much. It's more like a $0.99 item. Can I get my money back please? Thank you.
