Incredible app

This app is my favorite when I travel, I can see exactly where the sunsets will take place, at what time and any date. It will help you to book the most amazing restaurants at the right time and the right location for unforgettable experience. 5 stars well deserved

Simple and intuitive use, great quick reference

I teach at Parsons School of Design and use this tool with students. It provide simple and intuitive data for understanding solar geometry in relation to time of day, season and geographic location. This aids students (or practitioners) how to respond with a corresponding design intervention to celebrate direct solar contact or to shade. I find the 3D compass the most helpful tool but have also taken advantage of the “Live View” when on a project site understand seasonal solar conditions and taking screen shots for my documentation.

If you work with daylight design or are simply curious about solar and lunar relationships, this is a worthy purchase.

The Best!

You have arrived.
Look no further.
If you’re trying to guess where that fiery ball will rise and set along with Mr. Moon, you have the answer right there in your hands.
I use this app for business and pleasure. It is so spot on in detail it has saved me thousands of dollars in overtime waiting for the sun to be in the perfect position for filming.
I highly recommend SunSurveyor. Customer support is superb.

Works great

Very handy for any photographer. Get the paid version. It’s worth it.

Fun and intuitive

While being fun and intuitive, this app is comprehensive and gives a great sense of our planet’s position in space and everything around us.

The GUI is absolutely beautiful, and I use it for photography and just keeping more aware of our glorious universe.

It is well worth the paid version. Absolutely no regrets.

Great for solar installations

This app is proving extremely useful in positioning solar panels. The shadow setting means you can see the effect of trees or structures around your installation and position them for maximum efficiency. I would like to have the ability to import photos (eg. Aerial shots from a drone) as both google and Apple Maps have shadows that reflect the time the satellite image was taken and somewhat restrict the view of the shadow line.

Good for ecological design

I use this app when considering solar influences of permaculture designs. I love it.

Hasn’t worked for me in over a year

I’ve been using this for many, many years, but it just doesn’t work anymore. I was hoping for a bug fix that just never came.
If I reinstall the app it works once, and then never again. Rather a pain to have to reinstall every time I want to use it. I assume the developer totally gave up on it. Time to finally move onto something new that works.

Exceptional capability and value

This app is exceptional and it’s exactly what I’m looking for + more. Its not often I come across an app that’s review worthy in my books, but this ticks every box. It’s got fantastic home widgets too!

Best of all, its not an ongoing subscription which is refreshing. Overall a great addition to the photography toolkit.
