Just pushed v2.12.3.241 up to the Play Store:
  • Faster and more frequent location updates. Note the "updated at" time now ticks every ~3 seconds as long as your phone is able to get a location that often.
  • Tweaked the location layout to add a bit more spacing. It was feeling a bit cluttered.
  • Swapped Oxygen Mono out for Ubuntu Mono, which better matches the non-monospaced fonts.
For any Android nerds out there, this build now uses the new Android Navigation graph under the hood. Really nice library! I'm considering rewriting the whole damn thing as a Flutter app and releasing it on iOS, too.

Here's a quick sneak peek at what's coming next... It's pretty close to final form, but some tweaks are still needed. I think I'll be adding the ability to switch dates (so you can see tomorrow's or any other day's sunrise/sunset), as well.

Just released v2.13.0.243 to the Play Store! This version includes two new features:
  • Sunrise, sunset, and civil/nautical/astronomical twilight times for today. Stay tuned for the ability to get them for any day.
  • 24-hour time support throughout the app

Love the new sunset feature - i'm seldom up early enough to worry about sunrise - and while i didn't initially think about the measures of how long dusk would last, it did prove useful tonight (13 degrees south, north east Brasil coast) to know how dark it would get so fast.

Excellent work sir, and thank you :)
