Leave a Review Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon)
  • Awesome Tool

    This tool has just about everything you could ask for. Use it to plan ahead for photo/video shoots, know exactly how much time you’ll have for light, and know exactly when the moon will be in just the right spot over your nighttime subject. It even tells you when/where the Milky Way will rise and when to get the clearest shot.

    I love using it while planting my garden. Now I know how many hours of sun each area will get on any given day of the year.

    Only thing I could see them adding is a constellation overlay. That would blow me away.

  • THE utility for outdoor creatives

    This app is truly a staple when it comes to sunshine preparedness! As a filmmaker I use this app to save face when shooting outdoors in a location im not familiar with. You are able to input any location and it will bring the ability to see everything in a live view.

    Lookout golden hour, here we come!!!!

  • Amazing App! I only have one request

    This app is simply amazing, and makes it so much more convenient to find all the data I could possibly want!

    However, I have only one request. This request is to add the time of Lunar Noon (the Moon’s highest point of the day) to the Ephemeris of the Moon.
  • So many uses.

    Great app! Used this to determine position of solar panels and skylights up in the Pacific Northwest- very useful for determining winter and summer sun angles. I’ve also found it great for nature photography; knowing the phase of the moon and where it’s going to be for long exposure setups, it even shows where Milky Way will be.

  • Not working for Astronomy “history”

    It works very well when reconstructing the shadow angle of independence hall at 15:22 in movie National treasure 2004. However the app does not work for eclipses in the 16th century. I checked two real astronomy events but the sun moon alignments are wrong in this app. I knew the app is not for historians but it is a pity when you can specify the dates up to centuries ago. You should only keep 21th century.

    Developer Response

    Hello, would you mind getting in touch (adam@sunsurveyor.com) as I'd love to look into the examples and discrepancies. Appreciate the feedback, too, though I think 21st century only would definitely be limiting.
  • Great app

    In a previous review, I mentioned that the google icon 360 view wasn’t accurate. It now is. The app is great and I use it all the time.
  • This app is awesome

    I use it for film shoots all the time. Well developed and easy to use. Quite accurate and great options to calibrate. Thank you!
  • Great app!

    This app is awesome for planning video shoots! If it wasn’t for this app we would be guessing on times and spend so much extra time scouting. Great app!
  • Great for house-hunting and vacation planning.

    I used this app to decide upon purchasing the “right” condo location — with respect to knowing exactly where the sun would shine during the months when I’m to be there.

    I also use it to plan vacations — so that we’re there during a romantic early evening full-moon.

    Many realtors downloaded their own copy after I gave a brief demo.

  • SIX Stars

    We need special ratings for apps like these. This is so robust and broad in what it does, and it does it so easily, so much good information, and it’s so useful in different ways for different needs, well, six stars!
