Useful little item. No problems installing it under WM5. It is very accurate: I checked it against the sun/moon data at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php and they agreed exactly for my longitude & latitude. Only niggle is that you have to read the moonrise/set with care: if the set time is earlier than the rise it means the moon rose before midnight, so it will set first (2nd time) then later rise again (1st time).

I used to use the old version on a Qtek (ce2003). On my new Acer (WM5) the .cab are not accepted. How I have to install it.

Timing calculation for some places absolutely completely wrong (e.g. Austrian place it showed a sunrise of 11:35 but in fact it was after 5 am already). So have to uninstall.

Cool program, unfortunately it causes my PDA to freeze. Hopefully, this will be fixed in an update -- I'd really like to use it!

The previous version had some wrong calculation (missing an hour sometimes), but was stable. This new 1.2 is unstable, I had to softreset my PDA every few hours, so I uninstalled it finally. I hope it will be corrected, it is a great tool anyway.

Well the times are correct on my PDA, never a problem, and v1.2 is even better.

Cool idea, but it doesn't work well enough to be tolerable. The new version will usually calculate the correct time but then randomly add an hour to the calculations. If I go to options and switch to 24 hour clock, then exit, then go to options again and switch back to 12 hour, then exit, it goes back to the correct time. Not something I want to do. Great idea though!

This programm work correctly in my pocket-pc. I live in Canary Islands (near to the GTM)and its calculate are very exactly.

***** [Aug 21, 2006] by Lakote using XDA Exec
I originally said the calculation was off by about half an hour on this but I uninstalled it and started again just for something to do. Strangely, the second time round it seems to be fine! I checked it against 3 other websites and they all turn out the same. I'll keep an eye on the accuracy over the next few months. Thanks.

*** [Aug 21, 2006] by Lakote using XDA Exec
A great idea but currently let down by wrong times being given. Hope to see it fixed soon.

*** [Aug 4, 2006] by David using dell axim x50v
Nice but times are half an hour early for my time zone, Adelaide Australia. +9.30 GMT. Have checked time zone and lat/long settings.

***** [Jul 21, 2006] by -Tj- using Cingular 8125
With the 1.1 update, the sunrise/sunset, moonrise/set are accurate to within a minute according to local weather forecasts. I can now give it the 5 stars it deserves. Great job, and thanks for a great Today addition!

** [Jul 19, 2006] by -Tj- using Cingular 8125
This is a nice, simple Today screen item, but it seems to have some problems. The rise/set times apparently are calculated based on your global position (latitude, longitude) but the times seem to be calculated wrong. It says the sunrise should be at 8:54am; the sun has been out for about an hour or more, and as of writing this it's now 8:42am. It also says sunset should be at 10:12pm. O_o The moon phases seem pretty accurate, but I'm unsure of the rise/set times being correct. This is a great idea for a Today screen plugin and I really like having it, so I really hope this is fixed soon. Till then I can only give it 2 stars because it's inaccurate.

*** [Jun 30, 2006] by KG using Dell Axim X30 / Windows Mobile 2003 SE
I don't think the times are being calculated correctly. Sunrise came out as around 10:30am. Is this in GMT? If so, I would subtract 5 for my time zone but it seems like this should be handled in the program.
