Leave a Review Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon)
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.Show lessDP in NY
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.Show lesspeterkeenan
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.Show lessKapnKrunch
So Many Uses!
I use this app all the time and for so many things. Of course it’s great for photography planning, but I use it much more for trip planning. What time will the sun be setting in Rome when I’m there next year? Great, I’ll make dinner reservations for half an hour before that.
How many hours of daylight will there be for that upcoming road trip? Or what’s the difference in day lengths between solstices in that part of the world?When and where exactly will the super moon come over the horizon into view? Easy peasy.
I use Sun Surveyor every time I go camping to pick the spot with the best morning shade. Or to find the best seats at an outdoor concert. Once you have the app, you will find dozens of uses for it. I use it so frequently it lives on the first page of my Home Screen. Excellent app. Enjoy!Show lessSteven Haver
Amazing for landscape design
I’ve used this app for years when creating landscape designs. It’s extremely handy for in the field with live view to assess light conditions, or with map view from the office for getting a good idea of light conditions and shadows from existing trees. It’s incredibly impressive how accurate and useful it is. Worth every pennyShow lessTHejficn
Indispensable for the serious photographer
Brilliantly programmed and logically presented. Photography is about light, and this app provides all the information needed to plan where and when the light for a shot will be optimal. The tech support is outstanding. It paid for itself the first time that I used it.A disgruntled professor
Amazing!!
I almost never buy apps but I can’t believe Sun Surveyor only cost me $10. It’s accurate, educational, beautiful and fun to use. Not only that but the brilliant video tutorials are accessible right from the menu in the app itself. The free version gave me all the functionality I actually need, but the app is so gorgeous and fascinating that I only played with it for a few minutes before upgrading. I’ve been using iPhones for many years and can say unequivocally that this is the best app I’ve ever used!!!Show lessGimme privacy
