Solstice 2.2 brings a variety of performance, reliability, and usability improvements.

Version 2.1 of Solstice brings performance improvements, bug fixes, and support for Italian locales. Italy is one of the top countries downloading Solstice, so I’m excited to bring improved language support to the app.

Version 2.0.5 of Solstice fixes a bug where sunrise, culmination, and sunset times display the user device's timezone instead of the chosen location’s time zone.

Version 2.0.4 of Solstice fixes a bug that caused notifications to incorrectly label June and December solstices.

Version 2.0.2 of Solstice brings a variety of improvements to widgets and notifications, including: - A new Solar Chart widget and complication for the iOS Lock Screen and Apple Watch faces. - Widget performance, reliability, and design enhancements. - A new option to schedule notifications for a custom location. By default, your current location is used for daily notifications, but in this update you can now choose a saved location instead.

Version 2.0.1 adds reliability fixes and a new view for learning more about the solar equinox and solstice.

Solstice 2.0 has been completely rewritten to provide richer, more detailed charts, multiple locations, and a new design. Enjoy the same features you know and love, like widgets and notifications, as well as new ones I hope you love too.

v1.4.4 of Solstice fixes an issue on M1 Macs which caused the app to crash when the location picker is opened.

Version 1.4.3 of Solstice fixes a bug which prevented the Countdown widget from updating at appropriate times. Despite its familiar appearance, version 1.4 of Solstice is chock-full of improvements and new features. **Onboarding and Location** - The onboarding screen has been redesigned to allow new users to choose to use the app without turning on location access - Additionally, you can now use the app after revoking location access. It will continue to use your last cached location, or you can enter a location manually. Note that on watchOS, location access is always required. **Notifications** - You can now schedule notifications at a time relative to sunrise/sunset. For example, “15 minutes before sunrise”. **Widgets** - The countdown widget has a new design that cycles between different sky colours throughout the day. - Widgets have been updated to handle large dynamic type sizes **Bug Fixes** - The app has previously marked the June and December solstices by their dates alone, rather than their exact times. This has been fixed in this version, counting down to the exact time of the next/previous solstice. - The Apple Watch complications did not reliably update to show the most recent data. This has been fixed. - General performance and reliability improvements.

Version 1.4.1 of Solstice fixes a bug which resulted in nonsensical daylight comparisons (“50 sec more daylight today than today”) caused by timezone miscalculations.

v1.3.2 of Solstice adds improvements to Shortcuts actions. Now you can use Solstice in Shortcuts to get the sunrise or sunset time for any given date and location, which can be useful for dynamically setting lighting via HomeKit. This update also improves the “View Daylight” and “View Remaining Daylight” Shortcuts actions by providing the daylight duration as a value that can be used in other Shortcuts actions.

v1.3.1 of Solstice comes with several bug fixes and additional information in the app about Solstice's development and creator, as well as the ability to tip the developer. Version 1.3 of Solstice brings improvements to how time travel works. Now, when you choose a date in the past or future, you’ll see how much daylight is gained or lost on that date compared to today, rather than compared to the day before that date. The UI also makes it more clear when you’re looking at a date other than today’s date. This version also adds bug fixes and improvements to the watchOS app and further design improvements to the Sundial.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Version 1.2.2 of Solstice fixes a bug in the Settings view on iPadOS caused by the “Siri” section. For the time-being, this section has been removed from the app, but the Remaining Daylight shortcut should still be available in the Shortcuts app. Version 1.2.1 of Solstice adds some small changes to the iOS and iPadOS app, and one big change for Apple Watch users; the app can be installed on your wrist, and brings two complications with it. The Sundial complication shows the sundial view, showing the current position of the sun, and on the Infograph Modular watch face also showing the sunrise and sunset times. The Solar Event complication shows the time of the next sunset or sunrise, depending on the time of day. And of course, tapping a complication opens the full app, where you’ll find almost exactly the same features that can be found in the iOS and iPadOS apps. On iOS and iPadOS, the app design is slightly simpler. The “Daylight Remaining” row has been removed; to see this information, simply tap the “Total Daylight” row to switch between them.

This update improves compatibility with the latest version of iOS and iPadOS, bringing design and performance improvements. - The sundial view got an update, making it more accurate and beautiful - The medium size widget now shows the sundial visualisation - The graph that shows the average daily daylight per month has been updated to improve its appearance on larger screens - The previous version had a bug where your SAD notification preferences wouldn't always be reflected in notifications. This bug has now been fixed. - The main list view has been rearranged to make it more easily readable, and a new item has been added; the sun’s culmination: what time it is at its peak.

This version of Solstice adds a new notification preference to help people impacted by Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. Now, you can select how notifications should behave when daylight duration is decreasing: either by removing the daylight change from notifications, or suppressing notifications altogether. v1.1.4 also fixes a handful of small bugs and design issues.

Version 1.1.3 of Solstice updates the UI to better adhere to Apple’s platform standards and create a more intuitive interface, with fewer custom controls.
