Settings

Sunrise times has an abundance of settings that you can change to your hearts content.

  1. Auto Fetch Sunrises

    When you launch Sunrise Times it will automatically fetch the sunrise details for your current location and create any new entries for you, starting from the current date.

  2. Number to Fetch

    The number of sunrises to fetch from the start date for automatic and manually added locations. The app defaults to 4 days, but you can set it to just fetch the current or specified date up to a full two weeks (14 days).

  3. Days To Save Sunrises For

    To prevent clutter Sunrises Times removes fetched sunrises after this timeout period, unless they've been marked to keep.

  4. Display using Current Timezone

    The dates and times are normally shown in the locations timezone, using this setting you can change it to show them your devices local timezone (which may mean you see sunrise times showing as 1:36 PM or 2:14 AM which can be confusing).
