Neglected app. No longer works
I sense this app is no longer supported by the creator. It stopped working correctly a few years ago and hasn’t been close to accurate since. Do not buy
Not Accurate At All – And Developer has Abandoned this App
There needs to be some sort of calibration setting to help make it accurate. Even with location services and Precise Location enabled, the detection of the sun is way off. This is more of a ballpark estimate than it is anything concrete / accurate.
I would have hope that this would be fixed / improved upon, but it looks like the last update was over two years ago; so I think the developer has given up on this app. Save your money.

Is it anyway to fix this?

Awful
Such a waste of money. After hearing reviews from somebody on Instagram about this app I decided to buy it. Completely worthless I get more out of the Sun Seeker app for less money. Not being able to choose locations or a specific date makes this useless for me. At such a steep price for an app I would have expected a lot more.

Sun’s path isn’t showing
I was so excited to use this to scout locations for photography but the app doesn’t work at all. Waste of $10. The app just opens my camera but doesn’t show the sun or the sun’s path at all. Just a regular camera screen. I tried calibrating and deleted and reinstalled the app. Still not working.
Great!
I using for help me with film planning. Perfect!
Love this app
I have relied on Sun Scout for my landscape business and appreciate the update for IOS 13. It is a great tool!
Response from developer
Thanks very much chermcc. It’s great to hear how Sun Scout gets used!
Works perfectly fine
There were issues initially with the iOS 13 update, but works fine now.
Response from developer
Thanks for the update S@j!d, I’m glad to hear Sun Scout is working for you now! Happy scouting.
Needs calibration adjustment
I like the ease of use. Simple for what it is intended. I think $10 is a bit too high for allowing only 1 function. Another app like star wall has similar function with AR view and offers much more other info.
The sun position does not quite align with my view. I think if a calibration tool exists it would be much better. Something like you move the overlay sun to where the sun actually is and hit calibrate....
Does not work with ios13. Please update.

Hi, I’m sorry about the iOS 13 issues. The 1.5 update was released a few days after your review with fixes for these problems. Could you please give it a try? Thank you for the feature suggestion!
Looks like the end
I’ve been using this app for years and it’s always worked well for me... until today. I just got an iPhone 11 Pro and iOS 13 and it looks to be the end of the line for the app. No updates for some time and it just doesn’t work anymore. It opens but no sun appears in the AR tracker. Too bad! But I’m glad I had years of use out of it.

No longer works
Used to work but now just get a message saying needs to grant camera and location access. Location is set to use. No longer shows in camera settings. Requires developer update.
Response from developer
Hi m_schumy. Sorry about the iOS 13 issues. The 1.5 update became available about 20 days ago. Please try it out — let me know if you continue to have problems. Thanks.
Doesn’t work on iPhone SE
Simply doesn’t work. AR never shows up. Would like a refund, or some kind patch.
Response from developer
Hi, Sorry about the problems. The 1.5 update published a few weeks back should have resolved this. Could you please give it a try? Thanks.
Terrible
Doesn’t even work
Response from developer
Hi, Sorry Sun scout isn’t working for you. Could you describe the problems and I’ll try to resolve them.
Something is missing for the price
It a really great app but it is overpriced. If you could see with clouds or is it a shiny day or raining would be better because I plan my shoots and mostly when it is a little bit cloudy or sunny but you can’t see at which time is it cloudy at the app at the weather app you can see it. Hope you guys do a update with these features.
Kind regards

Must Have!
Simply put Sun-Scout is a must have for any level of photography and videography. As a wedding and commercial photographer I’ve used this app countless times over the past 6 years - it’s paid for itself time and time again.
Doesn’t work in London
Doesn't work in the London for me at all, nothing comes up, strange.
App hasn’t worked in months!!
I bought this app months ago and for the first month or so it worked perfectly. Then all of a sudden it hasn’t worked at all. I’ve waited for months and have done multiple updates for this and my phone and it still doesn’t work. It won’t let me contact anyone to resolve this situation. so I basically paid $10 for an app that no longer works. Do not waste your time with this app.

Keeps spinning
Every time I use this app it just spins and spins. My compass on my phone works perfect but the sun in this app just spins in circles every time. Sorry. I’m sure it works for others but it never works for me going to try to get a refund
WORKS, BUT ONLY FOR DATES OF THEIR CHOOSING
Their website FAQ says:
"Does Sun Scout let me see the sun for days other than today?
Absolutely. You can tell Sun Scout the date in the year that you are interested in. You can't yet set a specific custom date, but we expect to add this as a feature provided there is demand."
SO, I'm confused…You CAN tell it the date you're interested in (HOW?), BUT YOU CANNOT YET SET A SPECIFIC DATE. ????
And: $9.99 is WAY too expensive and they say you should calibrate it every day.
