Leave a Review Golden Hour One
Needs work...
The app is great for the purpose of knowing time frames for shooting during the golden or blue hours, but the Weather feature needs more work. I've tested it against my subscription with Skyfire and found significant discrepancies. So far GoldenHour predicted great light and sky on two different sunrises that were both flat wrong. This morning in particular, it predicted sky to be a 10, when in fact the sky barely had any color at all.
That said, I still believe the app to be useful and hope the developers are able to improve upon its weather feature as the app matures. I know it's possible to get more accurate predictions of sky conditions because SkyFire has proven itself to be a more accurate predictor. This app is on its way to being a 5 star app, buts it's not there yet.
User interface is well designed. Expect this app will get even better with time.Show lessRomance Writer
Developer Response
Hi Writer, I'd like to ask you to send me the coordinates of the places where you shot. We are still working on improving our algorithms, and such information would be very useful to us. HanaSo helpful!
A great interface with all the features you want and none you don't.Jchaucers
Extremely useful
This app not only tells you when the golden hours occur daily but what you can expect according to local weather conditions. I have found it to be very accurate and extremely useful.KVS11

Meh. Middle of the road...
Clock works great. Displaying Blue Hour and Golden Hour is great. The map function and setting locations is fantastic. The weather portion of the app? Not so much. I live in Colorado; more specifically, high sierra landscape and mountain views persist all around. Because of our unique location we get MANY high pressure systems with clouds ranging from trace to copious. Yet, as I marvel at the high cloud accumulation, and dial up the weather portion of this app-it leaves me wondering where they get the info from. I've traveled 3 hours based upon forecasts this app has put out only to be left frustrated. I wanted to trust it and not the weather service or Dark Skies.
No can do. Been duped by it three times and won't do it again. Missed many opportunities to take some great shots. Went expecting great shots only to be exposed to open skies with no cloud cover.
The developer sells this based on 100% functionality. All aspects. No can do. Either remove the weather portion or improve it and I'll rewrite the review.
I want this to be my one and only "go to" app.
As of this review, it's one of five frustrating tools I have to use to extrapolate.Show lessiCritique Music
Seems good but....
.....the date being off by a day adds confusion and uncertainty.jmc03307
Nice but
Not a bad app. Good idea, nice interface, but the date is wrong. It keeps insisting that the current date is one day behind. I can set the date I want to use, but how could it be so wrong? My phone has the correct date, do something is wrong with this app.Appstronaut
Nifty Little App
Super useful, great interface and easy to use. Highly recommend.anon...ss
Very nice
Very useful!!!Ameneu
Great design
It's simple, easy to use and it does what it says. I like that it has an explanation golden hour, blue hour and sky indexes (under 'more' category). There are some good features on the bottom of the screen, the 'clock' and 'map' being useful.sarasarasarAAA
