Essential Photo Planning App

From planning ahead to executing onsite, the ShootLight app makes getting the shot in the right light so much easier. I love the Shoot Score, AR View to track the suns path, 3D map with sun angle and shadow planning, the ability to set reminds for golden hour and sunset, and the weather forecast info with live Satellite video of cloud coverage for the region. Super helpful for landscape, events and real estate / architecture shooters.
