The Ayurveda Sundial 1.2.2

Generally, the app is designed for smartphones. and therefore using it on TABLETS may NOT be very satisfactory. A tablet version is planned.

The Ayurveda Sundial is a chronograph with either two numeric or two graphically depicted time dials that simultaneously show the solar time (local apparent time) and time zone time (»normal« time). For this, 24- but also 12-hour dials are used. Sun cycles and ayurvedic dosha cycles as well as conventional time can be read within one display.

Using this new relational depiction, an extended type of viewing time has been developed, which may balance some of the deficits of time zone time.

WELCOME TO REALTIME
--------------------------------------------------------

The sun influences our internal clock. If I want to stay healthy, I should at least pay attention to it – since our »normal« time can deviate from factual time immensely:

Mornings up to ca. 5 hours; Midday up to ca. 3 hours; Evenings up to ca. 5 hours

In western Europe, deviations in summer could be as follows: Morning: ca. ±0 hours, Midday: ca. 2 hours, Evening: ca. 4 hours. Astonishing – but that's what happens when a rigid system (time zone time) meets a very dynamic (solar time). Considering these values, every time-based therapy, science or lifestyle comes under question.

FEATURES
--------------------------------------------------------
• 6 display layouts (2 on Tablets)
• Twilights phases
• GPS tracking
• Position determination over integrated online search
• File system for 4 location settings
• Time zone selection with zone map
• 3 separate alarm sections with snooze option and loop functionl (also works in sleep mode)
• Local Notifications
• Sound selection
• Timeformats (12h/24h)
• And more

REQUIREMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------
• Google Android™ version 2.3 or higher
• Display min, 320 x 340 px (portrait).
• THE USE ON TABLETs IS NOT RECOMMENDED. A tablet version is in development.
• GPS recommended (alternative: position input via WLAN or manually)
• Internet connection recommended (alternative: GPS or manually position input)

LANGUAGES
--------------------------------------------------------
German, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian.

APPLICATION LIMITATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------
The software is not applicable north of the +65th latitude (polar region) or south of the –65th latitude (polar region).

PRECISION
--------------------------------------------------------
The sundial has an exponential tolerance of ca. ±0.5 minutes up to ca ± 5 minutes. That means, the closer you get to the polar circle, the greater is the increase of deviation. Inside polar regions calculations are partially not possible. Especially in periods of polar night/day.

PRECISION RELEVANCE
--------------------------------------------------------
The aberrations have NO relevance for the practical applicability of the sundial (excepting polar regions), because:
• Time deviations (time zone time vs. solar time) of several hours are normal
• The mathematical horizon seldom correspond to the effective horizon height
• The Ayurveda Sundial can not display tolerances in the scale of such small values

DATA PRIVACY PROTECTION
--------------------------------------------------------
GPS data does not leave the Application and will not and can not be used to scan your position from outside.

An internet connection will only be established by the MapQuest OSM Service when you search for locations – comparable with a usual search engine request in your browser.

You are able to force the App to keep awake. This is necessary if you want to have a permanent Ayurveda Sundial within a docking station.
