Enough said.

Great help in planning my pergola layout

I love the concept and it’s helping me greatly with my backyard shade design, though the website is much better. Really need transparent sides feature that’s available in the website.

Don’t waste £1.79 on this

Complete waste of time.

Absolute rubbish

Do not purchase!

A useful, inexpensive and easy to use app

I wanted to determine the extent to which a planned garden shed would affect sun exposure on my, and my neighbors properties.

I chanced upon Find My Shadow while looking for an easy to use tool for this kind of calculation, and found the online version was sufficient to meet my needs. The ios app had some very negative reviews based on an earlier version, so I contacted the author who responded very quickly and stated that updated app was as good as the online version, with some additional features.

I bought the app and have used it with great success. I am very happy with the results.

The user manual is somewhat out of date. However, after my experience with the on-line version, it was very straightforward to use the app and obtain good results without significant issues. The “learning curve” is not steep.

In summary, the current version of the app is an inexpensive, easy to use tool which will be useful for gardeners, small builders and photographers who need to simulate sun and shadow for a specific location.

Really Nice App

Simple to use and does what it is intended for. What might be nice is readymade house shapes or the ability to copy an object.
Well done

Question

how do you set object angle eg it’s orientation re North and also objects length and width Your windows version can

Missing function

The app is great, but surprised that they didn’t include the daily aggregate function similar to the website, which is super helpful for planning. Would love to see it added to the app!

Terrible

Such and awful app that is filled with limitations

Complete waste of money for an idea that could be so helpful in aiding with prospective planning permission

shadowzeeeeeeeeeee

Gave up on this not long after purchase - good idea, but I was expecting to be able to load hill heights etc - couldn't find that, if its there?
