Pros and cons of Sunrise Sunset! Free app for iPhone and iPad

Sunrise Sunset! Free app good for

Works as described, and I love the times until sunrise and sunset. This is really nice for photographers like me. Thanks!
To below: the new features are in review. I added the new version svreenshots, but Apple changed them for version 1 as well, which was not clear when I added them. 1 week or so and the new featurea will be included.
All I wanted was to have a simple app so I can see what the sunrise and sunset time is. And thats exactly what I got! Its seriously freaking easy to use, and absolutely awesome!
Ive had other free sun apps but this is the only one I have kept!!!
Works great. Love the recent locations history and places lookup so I dont have to let it use my location. Helpful for multiple and repeat lookups across days locations and months.
Its flawless in my experience as a mobile user. Technically, the application is excellent, and the price is right, too!

Some bad moments

I chose this ap specifically because the pictures included in the ap description show the option to change the location and see recent locations. Unfortunately it appears the ap will only show you times for your current GPS location, and if it cant tell where you are it will display nothing at all. If this option is in fact included, its ridiculously difficult to find. Update: Brett did you just 5 star your own product?
The time it shows for sunset is 5 minutes off from that given on another free app and on 3 different weather websites I visited. Also, at the top of the screen, it says I am in an "unknown location", but I am in a wi-fi hotspot (home). It does seem to sort of know where I am, though, because on the "Locations" screen, it shows 2 locations - "unknown location" and my town. But when I touch my town to try to force the app to use that location, it crashes. Im deleting it.
Crashes since the iPod os update. Delete and reinstall doesnt help.
I have never written an App review, but I felt I needed to with this one. It crashed EVERY time I tried to use it. Its free but not worth the download!!
Really, I am sad! The application worked beautifully for my current location. I was able to switch dates no problem! But as soon as I tried to change the location the app kept crashing! Please fix soon. LOVE the "dusk" feature, which isnt provided with most sunset times, even online!
Downloaded this for iPod touch. It couldnt find my location and wouldnt give me any other options.
