Neglected app. No longer works

I sense this app is no longer supported by the creator. It stopped working correctly a few years ago and hasn’t been close to accurate since. Do not buy

Not Accurate At All – And Developer has Abandoned this App

There needs to be some sort of calibration setting to help make it accurate. Even with location services and Precise Location enabled, the detection of the sun is way off. This is more of a ballpark estimate than it is anything concrete / accurate.

I would have hope that this would be fixed / improved upon, but it looks like the last update was over two years ago; so I think the developer has given up on this app. Save your money.

Awful

Such a waste of money. After hearing reviews from somebody on Instagram about this app I decided to buy it. Completely worthless I get more out of the Sun Seeker app for less money. Not being able to choose locations or a specific date makes this useless for me. At such a steep price for an app I would have expected a lot more.

Sun’s path isn’t showing

I was so excited to use this to scout locations for photography but the app doesn’t work at all. Waste of $10. The app just opens my camera but doesn’t show the sun or the sun’s path at all. Just a regular camera screen. I tried calibrating and deleted and reinstalled the app. Still not working.

Love this app

I have relied on Sun Scout for my landscape business and appreciate the update for IOS 13. It is a great tool!

Thanks very much chermcc. It’s great to hear how Sun Scout gets used!

Needs calibration adjustment

I like the ease of use. Simple for what it is intended. I think $10 is a bit too high for allowing only 1 function. Another app like star wall has similar function with AR view and offers much more other info.

The sun position does not quite align with my view. I think if a calibration tool exists it would be much better. Something like you move the overlay sun to where the sun actually is and hit calibrate....

Does not work with ios13. Please update.

Hi, I’m sorry about the iOS 13 issues. The 1.5 update was released a few days after your review with fixes for these problems. Could you please give it a try? Thank you for the feature suggestion!

Looks like the end

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s always worked well for me... until today. I just got an iPhone 11 Pro and iOS 13 and it looks to be the end of the line for the app. No updates for some time and it just doesn’t work anymore. It opens but no sun appears in the AR tracker. Too bad! But I’m glad I had years of use out of it.

The app is not working anymore, I’ve tried to calibrate it several times but will not show any sun direction.

No longer works

Used to work but now just get a message saying needs to grant camera and location access. Location is set to use. No longer shows in camera settings. Requires developer update.
