Skyclock on the iPhone:

This is where Skyclock has belonged all along - in your hand with GPS capability, where and when you need it.

Skyclock Lite (now available free for your iPhone). It's available now for you to know how much twilight, daylight, or night you can expect, and to make immediate and easy use of the information.

You can download Skyclock Lite directly from the App Store on your iPhone, or for more information, and to download from iTunes on your mac or pc, (you will need an iTunes account), go to the iTunes preview page here: http://bit.ly/9JiaYy (if you're reading this on your iPhone, the link will take you directly to the App Store page for Skyclock.)

What's New in Version 2.0

This version (2.0) will not start up in the next 12 hour mode. This reduces possible confusion as to what mode Skyclock is in when first being started.

What's New in Version 1.9

Added display and calculation of zenith (solar noon) and the sun's elevation at zenith (in degrees) for the upgrade version, accelerated twilight calculation for smoother start-up on devices, and various other improvements.

What's New in Version 1.8

A smoother in-app purchase process and other minor improvements.

What's New in Version 1.7

The two most frequently asked for features have been incorporated in to this version:

• iPod Touch compatible - In addition to iPhone, Skyclock 1.7 is now compatible with iPod and iPad (when iPad is in iPhone mode).
• Ad-free upgrade - The ability to purchase an in-app upgrade is available. This upgrade replaces advertisements with informative text that indicates the hours and minutes remaining until sunset/sunrise and civil twilight.

Skyclock Lite is the version of Skyclock available for download to your iPhone. Informed by the location service in the iPhone, Skyclock Lite displays Day, Night, Sunrise, Sunset, and Twilight time segments for your exact location.

Skyclock Lite FAQ

Allowing 'Location Services'

The first time you open Skyclock after downloading from the app store you will be asked to 'allow' Location Services for the app. You should accept. Skyclock needs the ability to determine the location of the device (iPhone, iPad, Touch) in order to correctly display sunrise/set and twilight times. If you decline by mistake, you can easily remedy this on your device by going to Settings, and then pressing Locations Services. Make sure Locations Services is turned on at the top. Then scroll down the app list until you see Skyclock, and set to ON.

What is the 'GMT Offset' on the Settings Page?

This refers to how many hours removed you are (at your current location) from the common time standard of Greenwich Mean Time. GMT does not observe Daylight Saving Time (also called Summer Time Change). Therefore, your GMT Offset will change if you are in an area that implements Daylight Saving Time, or Summer Time change.  Skyclock Lite automatically detects this change prior to displaying it's results.

Will Skyclock work if there is no GPS connection?

The location service in the iPhone will use the information that is available to determine the app display. It will use GPS, cell tower coordination, or wi-fi location. If you are using Skyclock on an iPod Touch, wi-fi location is the only service available. Therefore, if your Touch is not detecting a wi-fi connection, it will not display current data. This applies also to using Skyclock on an iPad (in iPhone mode) if not connected to a cell network.

Can Skyclock show a twilight display for a location other than my current location?

Skyclock Lite for the iPhone does not have this display currently. At Skyclock.com, you can learn about and purchase a version of Skyclock for the pc that does have this capability. This is contemplated for a future i-Phone Skyclock upgrade..

Can Skyclock show a twilight display for a date other than the current date?

Skyclock Lite for the iPhone does not have this display currently. At Skyclock.com, you can learn about and purchase a version of Skyclock for the pc that does have this capability. This is contemplated for a future iPhone Skyclock upgrade..

Is Skyclock available on other mobile devices?
