Great App (one small bug)

This app is invaluable for finding perfect photography locations for sun and/or moon rises and sets. Also useful for figuring out angles of illumination or dark periods for star shots! Noticed one small problem today—27 Oct 2024 when clocks change back in the UK from daylight savings to normal time—that the predicted time of the sunrise is an hour earlier than it should be, and that the angle of the sunrise is based on that wrong time.

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Best app ever!

One of my top most indispensable apps. Extremely user-friendly with a simple clean interface that gives you tons of information. Must have for photography. Great for previewing lighting on any day and time. Also great for earth science and showing how the seasons change the lighting.

End of life?

This is a great little app and I have been using it for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the Help feature no longer works, it goes to a website that doesn’t exist anymore. It looks like the last update was at least a year ago, so I’m guessing this is nearing the end of life. I will have to start looking for something else. :(

Zoom is very frustrating

This app was fine at the beginning
Now when I zoom out on the frame, at some point, the freaking app decides for me that it’s now time to zoom in!!!!!!

Makes the appp extremely inefficient in use of my time

Best solar tracking.

Love this app. Great interface and easy to use.

Excellent app !

Well done by the designers, extremely useful.

Perfect for my real estate photos!

I can tell when the best time will be for the perfect exterior shots of my listings. Simple to use and an invaluable tool in my marketing arsenal.

Wonderful tool to show clients sun path for each location.

Fantastic app for planning for where the natural lighting will be.

This is a fantastic app for knowing where the natural lighting will be. Super easy to understand and to use. Obviously extremely useful for photography lighting choices, but has many other uses as well. At any day / time of the year you can figure out where the sun will be shining, inside and out. This is great for interior design, including wall, drapery and furniture color choices, to placement of various furniture and activities within a room. Planning a wedding for next June, make sure the Bride and Groom are neither squinting, nor in the shade. This app showed us just how good our guesses were for where we placed shade trees on the south side of our house after moving in. Next time, we won’t have to guess - we can figure out exactly where will be best. Great for pool and sun-dependent landscaping choices. Great for architects to get a quick idea of how they might site their building, well before getting into too much building detail or spending bucks doing full annual computer sun simulations. Great for HVAC Contractors and Engineers (me) for doing initial airflow balance planning. Great for astronomy buffs and general science nerds!! Helps me know when I can expect to let my cabin-fevered cats out on the back deck in early spring. Love it! Will support this app forever!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to provide detailed feedback. We appreciate it very much.

Best Visualizer By Far!

The way in which the solid and moving lines show on the map makes it so easy for everyone to visualize exactly where the sun will be at any given time.

Highly recommended!
