What's New in SolarTrack

STV005

March 8, 2013

iO6 bug fixed that caused App to crash when changing time

User reviews

At start up

At first it did not work. Then it wanted was to down load all my photos, so I deleted the app. This is a bad app.

Helpful App

This app is very useful for tracking and visualizing the sun position from your location.

Unfortunately under iOS 7.04 is crashes too often using the camera functionality and sometimes slow at updating the track when changing time.

NEEDS to fix to correctly track in the Southern Hemisphere where the sun still travel East to West but travels right to left when looking North towards the equator where the sun traverses the sky.

Not worth the money.

I know it's free... But if it doesn't work, then it still not worth having even if it's free. Every time I tried to enter a date, it would crash. Even pointing it directly toward the sun, the app said the sun was on the right. Deleted!

Sunrise/set off by 1 hr, app crashes

Wish the app worked better, because the idea is great. When the app finds my location, the rise/set times are off 1 hour. Also, when you click "time" the app crashes.

Hope the developer fixes bugs - it could be very helpful, if it worked.

Nice app

Crashes on iOS 6 when you change time. Other than that it seems cool
