While there certainly is a learning curve, and I am still working to be able to use it to its maximum effectiveness, I have seen how spot on It is in determining lineups for sunrise, sunset, Astro photography, and more. Whether you use it in conjunction with other planning apps or as a standalone, it should be part of any serious photographer’s tool kit. ### 5/5 — Great planning tool for photography *2024-10-18* I love this app, it’s simple and informative.

Knowing before you go helps eliminate wasted days attempting to get a specific composition at the right time and weather ### 5/5 — Muy buena *2024-02-15, version 1.2.0* La utilizo casi siempre para saber dónde se oculta el sol en tiempo real. 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Sehr gelungene App *2024-01-20* Ich benutze diese App gerne, um auch im Ausland Sonnenuntergang und blaue Stunde ablesen zu können. Sehr gut programmiert, kann ich nur jedem Fotografen empfehlen. ### 5/5 — 拍摄美景离不开 *2023-11-23* 到达当地，可以免费查询五天日出日落月升月落，蓝调、黄金时段，四两拨千斤拍大片 ### 5/5 — 良心推荐给摄影人 *2023-10-29* 用了一段时间，能让工作事半功倍，特别是其准确的时间预报和精准的定位显示，让拍摄省去很多繁琐的事情。 ### 5/5 — 人和自然融合的一个非常好的软件 *2023-09-18* 虽然安装完后经常打开，但要想看到银河还是没有机会。不过软件总能给你期望，坚持不删，总有一次能看到。 ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-06-05* Both Planit and Planit Live are indispensable for the astrophotographer. Fantastic. 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — 非常好用的软件 *2023-05-28* 这个软件很不错 ### 5/5 — 对摄影选址有很大的帮助 *2023-05-12* 😀 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Sucher(VR) *2020-07-05* Sucher (VR) funktioniert bei manueller Zeitleiste nicht. ### 3/5 — Buena aplicación *2019-12-05, version 1.1.4* Buena aplicación ### 4/5 — Planit Live *2021-08-25, version 1.2.0* Excelente aplicación por supuesto complementario al Planit Pro de la que recomiendo sin duda a todos los fotógrafos ### 4/5 — 现场版和专业版区别有哪些？ *2021-01-13* 软件可以。就是想问问收费版本和这个现场版到底有哪些区别？看适不适合入手完全版。 ### 4/5 — Für das richtige Timing perfekt *2020-07-29* Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dieser App. Sie hält, was sie verspricht. Es dauert eine kurze Zeit, bis man sich hinein gefuchst hat, aber ist dann doch verständlich. Einziges Manko ist, dass die App nicht ganz korrekt auf meinen Kompass zugreift. Es sind vielleicht 6-10 Grad, aber manchmal etwas ärgerlich, wenn man sich dann nochmal im letzten Moment umstellen muss. **Developer response:** AR depends on the phone orientation sensor which is often off. That’s why there is a calibration button on the top right. You can adjust it so that the simulated sun or moon aligns with the actual sun or moon then you adjust the time to see its future position. ### 4/5 — Super cool app *2019-05-24, version 1.1.3* this app is really cool, highly recommend to anyone interested in moon phases / the sun / milky way, I mostly use it to track the Milky Way for my photography, and i love that it gives you a darkness rating for the location you’re at, the only problem is that in the info button (little (i) button ) there’s some grammatical errors. not that it’s terrible, it would just come off as more professional if they were fixed. **Developer response:** I will have the text reviewed. Could you please email info@planitphoto.com and tell me which error do you see? We will correct it right away. ### 5/5 — 感謝とお願い *2026-08-26* 今まではproの方を使用しておりましたが、そちらで指摘されましたように、私のような高齢者の写真愛好者には全部マスターするのは困難でした。 今回のアプリは、とても待ち望んでいたものでした。今後とも、よりシンプルで使用し易いアプリとして進展させて下さい。 出来れば星座も加えて下さい。 ### 5/5 — 集摄影题材大全，特别是悬日悬月题材拍摄，提供了非常便利计划功能，节省了找机位时间，可以精准对齐拍摄主题。 *2026-08-13* 非常实用，摄影师的好帮手👍 ### 5/5 — 最常用的软件 *2026-07-30* 也是从影视飓风的推荐来的 说实话是真的好用 而且也不像天文通一样有流氓弹窗广告 ### 5/5 — 现场查看日落日出轨迹 *2026-07-26* 非常非常好用的一款软件，无广告还免费，到了拍摄地点掏出手机一看就知道日落轨迹，非常好用 ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect tracking and projecting rise and fall of Milky Way *2026-07-22* Amazing live version used in conjunction with Planit pro is amazing so easy to use and navigate around even if you don’t have any experience this makes mapping night time sky very easy Planit app is amazing 🥲 ### 5/5 — 完全良心 *2026-07-22* 好久没打开现场版了，现在居然有这么多功能，还是全免费无广告，太良心了。再建议以后增加个朝霞晚霞预测功能 ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-07-11* Simple to use and a primary asset on travels and photography ### 5/5 — Ottima *2026-07-10, version 1.5.2* Grazie per la risposta ora la Nikon zr è presente ( perfetto) 👍 Applicazione ben fatta e in costante aggiornamento (mancano alcuni modelli di fotocamere esempio la Nikon ZR ) comunque gli aggiornamenti continuano a rendere l’APP sempre più professionale e ricca di informazioni con implementazioni e miglioramenti bravi e complimenti ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-04* game changer ### 5/5 — app fantastica *2026-06-10, version 1.2.0* l’app è meravigliosa ed è precisissima per tutto la consiglio per astronfotografia --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
