User Reviews

Reviews praise Day & Night Map for its global day-night visualization, moon phase and future sun/moon positions, and usefulness for ham radio DXing and keeping in touch across time zones. Common requests include city names and wallpaper-like or export features. Reported issues include occasional freezing of sun/moon positions, removal of the widget in newer versions, and reliability tweaks needed for updating the grey line (often related to battery optimization). Users want smoother updates, more data labels, and enhancements like nicer animations or export options. Overall, it's a handy, well-liked tool with room for stability and feature improvements.

Pros

Global day-night visualization with a clear day/night terminator
Moon phase display and positions now and in the future
Useful for ham radio (gray line propagation and DX planning)
Helpful for knowing when it's daytime in other parts of the world to call or contact
Visually appealing and easy-to-use interface

Cons

Sun/moon positions can freeze or lag, requiring an app restart
Widget removed in the latest version
Grey line updates sometimes require manual refresh and can be affected by battery optimization
Lacks city names (requested feature)
Occasional non-functioning behavior/crashes as reported by some users

I swear I have this but on my brother's old tablet but the app is different I couldn't find the app anywhere, is this lost media, or am I just going crazy?
