   Get a day rating with the reasons

   Pick your place and date and Solunar rates the day for fishing or hunting from the sun and moon. It always tells you why, such as the moon phase or a period near sunrise. In the example, the day rates 2 of 4.

   See the whole day on one bar

   A bar across the whole day shows daylight, twilight and night with the major and minor periods on top. You can see at a glance when a period lines up with dawn or dusk, and a red line marks the time now.

   See every major and minor period

   Major periods last 2 hours around the moon overhead and underfoot, and minor periods last 1 hour around moonrise and moonset. Each time is shown for your place, with tags when a period covers sunrise or sunset or starts soon.

   Plan your trip around the week

   The next 7 days show each day's rating, moon phase, sunrise, sunset and every major and minor time. Pick the best looking day before you go, and turn on reminders before major periods if you want them.

   Test the periods on your own water

   Log each catch and Solunar records which period it fell in. It compares your results with pure chance, so over a season you can see whether the periods work for you. In the example, 3 of 6 catches came in major periods.

   Keep a record of every catch

   Each catch keeps the species, date, time, place, weight, length and your notes, tagged with the period it fell in. Results are also grouped by species, so you can compare how each one did.
