For android, try Sun Locator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genewarrior.sunlocator.lite). It's focused on the sun and moon position and features an augmented reality and 3d map view.

I have been using Sun Locator Lite for a long time. Although, I just use it for blue hour, golden hour timings for both sunrise and sunset, not sure if the forecast you talk about involves any other information.
A great feature in the app is that it shows 3D model of the position you select and the paths of Sun and moon for a given day - which I found useful sometimes when planning for sunrise or sunset photography.
I personally don’t actually use it for photography but Sun Locator is nice.
Also DOF simulator.
I developed (and am actively updating) an app called Sun Locator (www.sunlocator.com), that perfectly suits your needs.
It has a data view with all detailed times/dates for sunset/sunrise/dusk/dawn/golden hour/blue hour/etc., a map view to simulate the course of the sun across the time of the day and days of the year, an augmented reality view projecting the sun's position in your phone's camera.
The newest addition is a 3D terrain simulator to visualize the shadows of hills, mountains and valleys interactively.

Sun Locator is the popular Android app which helps photographers (and other outdoorsy people) to plan ahead and predict the Sun and Moon position.
A major new upgrade adds new features and a much nicer user interface.
Sun Locator has a Main View that displays all the detailed information: sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset, blue hour, golden hour, solar noon, twilight times, moon phase and much more; the Augmented Reality feature displays the solar position and lunar position directly overlaid on your device's camera. The Map feature displays the solar and lunar location, direction and shadow on a map.
The app is available as a free lite version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genewarrior.sunlocator.lite) and a paid pro version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genewarrior.sunlocator.pro). The Lite version shows data for the current day, the Pro version shows data for any day of the year.
Check out Sun Locator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.genewarrior.sunlocator.lite). It calculates the sunset/sunrise times (and everything else), however there's no way to add a reminder, so you have to do that manually.

To prepare for your Supermoon shoot, check out "Sun Locator", an Android App I'm working on.
