I like this wallpaper, but it looks like I'm looking at it through a screen door.
I love these app, been used for a while, would like to use it on android 10, thanks
I was wandering if you can implement auto rotated?
Needs update,used to be five star
Now its inactive please let's be active
Hi Dave. I purchased this and am fairly happy with your work. Just a suggestion. I have a similar PC one called Sunclock by Mapmaker. You can check that one out. Maybe you can have the added functionality of actual sun and moon icons traversing the globe like Sunclock does. And the lines of the equator and tropics defined on the map (light or hint only...not very prominent.) Great work from you. Thanks
Doesn't use much data or battery life, hardly any. I do think the map should update more often. Also more of a transition from day to night.
Too bad it gets covered with widgets.
Exactly what i was looking for!
I can't stop staring at my wallpaper. The real satellite imagery of clouds is fascinating and watching the arc of the sun sweep across the globe is mesmerizing. I'm still trying to change the aspect ratio of my wallpaper so I can see the whole map. Edit: The developer just pushed an update that fixed this problem. I can now see the entire earth. This is by far the coolest live wallpaper on Play. I feel elite every time I see the sun sweeping across my continent or a cloud bank approaching. Awesome.
Half of the states land mass will not fill in on the updates and they will never write you back after you send a letter to them no matter how nice you are in the letter you sent them. If you want to keep an eye on the clouds then its ok for that but keep your money if you hope to see all of the land covering all of the united states.
Better than average battery use for a live wallpaper, and fantastic application. Looks great! Also very friendly developer - added a feature I requested within a few hours. Thanks!
With the ability to show precipitation and to increase the zoom level will be much better Plz add these functions
Looks very nice, uses real and live satellite data. At first I had problems with it closing after a screen off but that was the task manager inside system tuner pro which I didn't realize was killing it. Excluding it there made it work like it should. Would like to have more zoom options including tilt (birdview)
As a UK user, I have tried to zoom as close as possible. The clouds do not look good near the top of the map. I know that these clouds are downloaded from a server (Dundee University) but is there a way of improving the top of the map??? Any chance of night lights in Live Sunlight view? Also CPU usage at approx 2.72%. Very high compared to all my other running apps.
I want to give this more than four stars because the potential is really good. But, the bottom quarter of the screen doesn't load cloud or light information. I would recommend this as long as that has been fixed.
Not harassing, just asking questions..
Used to work perfect but it's saying that it won't work because I need an older version.
