Nice app

Overall app is nice. Unfortunately I am deleting due to not using it enough to justify the $8.99 it costs per year to keep.

Map mode not working on iPad Pro 20223

For some reason pressing the map button closes/crashes the App and returns you to the main page of your device. Strangely works on my iPhone 15 but not on the iPad, could this be fixed/looked into please.

Response from developer

Thank you for the description of the error. I fixed it in version 2.7.3.

Very simple perhaps too simple

I put a lot of hope into this app but I can see many reasons why it frequently fails.
The forecast alone would have to have a lot more input and be capable of much more complex analysis of the conditions to form a more accurate image of the photographic conditions; the good light is far more practical as blue and golden hour is otherwise freely available elsewhere.
It also scores the conditions from a couple of main criteria which for landscapists is never sufficient. It’s not all about soft light and scattered clouds.
On a number of occasions the light and cloud scores remain high although the conditions are completely different.
Most trivial weather apps do update all the time meaning are very accurate closest to the time in question; definitely not the case in this app.
Disappointing.

Response from developer

I understand that you may not like the app, but your analysis of how it works is completely wrong. The app uses a lot more data than just time and cloud cover to evaluate the weather. Of course, it updates the weather every time you run it, so the forecast gets progressively more accurate. For example, for the Sky Index, it not only finds the forecast for the observer's location, but also several other forecasts for various distant locations in the belt towards the setting/rising sun.

Perfect Little App!

I’ve been using Golden Hour for YEARS and it has always been flawless. It’s completely accurate, it loads and displays fast, and it shows you what you want to know CLEARLY.
It’s a simple app, but it’s super useful and it has never been buggy. It’s honestly one of my favorite icons on my Home Screen. I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want this app.
Nice to have a perfect app once in a while.

Great app, very easy to use and very practical

Not actually included in the bundle purchase

Replying to the Dev: So … when I paid for the bundle, which included this app, I got the free version of this app not the full version! I’m pretty sure that’s what I said.

That’s up to you, but it’s not what I expected when buying the “bundle”.

===[ original review ]===
I bought the bundle of three apps, which included this one, but it’s still asking me to upgrade. That’s up to the dev I guess, but it’s a bit confusing to include it in a bundle purchase if the purchase doesn’t apply to all apps in that bundle.

Response from developer

I think you are mistaken. GHO is not offering other apps for purchase. If you bought the bundle you truly own all three apps. GHO is offering in-app purchase of better weather forecast from paid servers.

Fotography app

The app is so great I am recommended everyone this app I am so very happy about this app.

FIXED (Crashes every single time) - REVIEW UPDATE

Here’s the update! Developers contacted me and had me enable notifications, which allowed the app to open. They also informed me they’re working on a proper fix. So happy I can use the app again!

I used to love it, but now this app won’t open for me at all. Running iOS 13.4.1 on a XS.
PLEASE FIX IT!!
