What's New in Helios

5.3.0

June 25, 2026

What's new in 5.3.0 - This update includes a massive update to accessibility. All parts of the app are now fully accessible, supporting voice over, voice control, and more! - A big upgrade to the light meter, it now includes a dedicated video mode, adapted for those in the cinematography space with support for shutter angle, tweaked priority modes, and the ability to chose a specific lens (ultra-wide, wide or telephoto) for when the shot doesn't quite match with what you are seeing in the viewfinder. - Some slight UI tweaks to make the app feel better. - Fixed an issue where the map button wouldn't open the correct screen after interacting with the atmospheric visualization.

Response from developer

Hi, this issue was fixed in 5.0.3. Thanks for letting us know!

Love this app

I really like the gorgeous, clean design, and it’s super helpful for pinpointing exactly when the golden and blue hours are going to happen, no matter where I am. It makes planning my outdoor shots simple.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but one problem

I’ve been a fan of this app for 8 years or so. For some reason, I am getting a blank screen when I open it today. Putting up this review, hoping to get the attention of someone who can fix that.

Meh

App itself is alright, but stutter performance. Apple Watch app is unusable—barely swaps between screens. And no complications?
