User reviews

Great app

This app is amazing in how many features you get. Weather, golden hour and blue hour, tides, moon information, local scenic spots etc. Locations It also has a lifetime deal now, which I am a fan of over subscriptions. I am only an occasional photographer so I need to still consider if I want the buy the lifetime option. But if you photograph regularly, then try this out.
