Update was not improvment
Been using Helios for several years with my photography. I mostly used the map to check sun position. Prior to the update, there were cones that showed the angle of the sun and moon and those cones went to the center of the circle. Those disappeared in the update from a few months back.
It may seem like a minor gripe, but I feel the update made the app less user friendly.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I have noted of this and will re-add it to the app as an option in the settings.
You need this app
I am a professional portrait photographer and this app has helped me plan my photoshoots SO much. Seriously. I use it all the time during my photography season because the sun obviously changes so much during the year. I think I remember paying a cheap amount for this app a few years ago but it was totally worth it. Thankful!

App stopped working
When the app did an update I tried to open it but it won’t let me go past the update notification page. It’s just stock and I can’t swipe past it so the app is useless right now.
Please fix this bug or I’ll have to ask for my refund.

Hi, the issue you were facing has been fixed. If you could update your review, that would be greatly appreciated.
Been using this app for so many years now!
I really love this app, happy to see you’re keeping it alive and updating it. Please add a donation section as an in app purchase and I will donate as I remember paying close to nothing like 6 years ago or whenever!
Highly recommend
As a amateur photographer i highly recommend this app to anyone getting into photography. And the built in light meter is excellent and comes in handy.
Crap app
Don’t buy this app, it’s garbage. I thought it was a different version of an app I used to have which was extremely robust. But the lack of ability to pick a date, time, and location to get sun and moon arcs and path of travel makes it all but useless. Deleting. Wish I could get my money back. It’s not even worth 99¢.

Sorry to hear the app hasn't reached your expectations. I have just pushed a major upgrade - feel free to check it out, as it likely addresses your concerns. If not, I'll be happy to take more feedback.
Needs widget
i paid for this and i really like the way it shows the range of time for blue and golden hour. all i want is a small widget that shows the time ranges so i can have it on the top of my home screen above some other apps, and next to another widget

Hi, the app has just received a major update with new widgets. Feel free to give it another try!
Incorrect timings
It’s showing wrong timing. For example, 18:30 for sunrise and 4:57 for sunset???
Response from developer
Hi, the app now shows times in location's timezone by default. Helios has received some great updates lately, so we'd appreciate if you could take another look!
Love it but just one thing
It needs a variable alarm! No, not a notification, but and actual alarm would be so helpful and nice! One that changes automatically with the times the sun rises or sets. THAT would be so awesome!
Beautiful app
Love checking to see when golden hour will start each day!
