Amazing

Whenever I plan a trip, I first want to know the potential sunset/sunrise conditions. Shutter Scout nailed the prediction every night I went out last week, and the sunsets were beautiful. I wouldn’t have captured my photos without this app. It’s easy to use, and I love all the different features!

Response from developer

Thank you — this is exactly what Shutter Scout was built for. The prediction engine you're describing just got smarter in the latest update (it now understands wildfire smoke and mountain conditions too), with more on the way. Clear skies, and keep shooting.
