  • Sun surveyor

    Wish to make the version free
  • Sunrise time not working

    No good
  • Sun off by more than 10 degrees

    This app is very nice, except for the fsct that the sun is reading more than 10 degrees to the left than where it actually is in the sky. Other astronomy apps I use give the correct azimuth reading. There is no way the sun can be at solar noon at azimuth 163 degrees. It always is at 180, unless the app takes into consideration your street’s orientation from true north??? Not worth buying the full version until this can get resolved, if another app update wver gets pushed out, that is...

  • Very simple to use / great info and graphics

    Easy install and really no set up. Great for figuring out the sun path over your house during different times of the year for landscaping planning.
  • The compass is always off

    Every time I open I have to recalibrate and it doesn’t matter how many times I do the figure 8 it just doesn’t want to point north where north is. It basically makes it useless to me (and I am not near any magnets!)

    Developer Response

    Hello, please get in touch (adam@sunsurveyor.com) as I'd like to understand more about your situation, and share some more tips. For example, some people have phone cases with magnets in them, which can also affect things.
  • Legit so far.

    As a photographer shooting outdoors, I just need to know when the sun is coming up and going down. This does that cleanly and simply. 👌🏽
  • Lite version totally unusable

    Live, street, and map view needs upgrade to full version to function. Lite version only shows dots and general proximity of the sun in the entire city. Useless unless you upgrade, but you can’t be sure how the full version works so risk is there.

    Developer Response

    Hello, the lite version should work for where you are. I understand your sentiment, but, I have to have some way of demonstrating that the full version will be worth the purchase, and unfortunately I don't have in-app-purchases (on the plus side, I don't have subscriptions, either!). I'm seriously happy to hear any feedback on what you might propose I do to offer something for free, but also entice those who could use the full features to purchase -- feel free to get in touch: adam@sunsurveyor.com.
  • Great for planning summer and fall gardens

    I am planning a garden at my new house and this app is helping me figure where the sun will be next summer. Because I am in a shady area I need to have the right angles to have a chance.
  • Garden perfect

    I have a pretty good sized garden and by using this app, I found that it has responded to the changes made by studying and analyzing the sun position, sunrise n sunset, etc. great app, good job guys... my veggies thank you.
  • Best in class

    Simply the best app for sunrise, sunset, twilight, blue hour, sun position, etc. Visual and list form. Not just for photographers and solar professionals, great for birdwatchers and setting up camp! I like it so much I upgraded to the paid version even though I didn't need the extra features!
