**Shadows are now on the map!** With this new release, you can explore how real buildings cast shadows throughout the day, with the sun’s path and shadows displayed in 3D. You can also play around by adding your own trees and boxes to see how they affect sunlight, and get a detailed sun and shade report for any day you choose. Plus, we've made performance improvements and fixed a few bugs to make the app run even more smoothly.

Pro version randomly stops working

After paying for the pro version, it will randomly revert back to the free version while I’m out in the wilderness. It can’t be fixed until I get back to cell service for the app to do something in the background without telling me. Which obviously makes this useless for a lot of photographers in filmmakers operating outside of cell service. As always, it’s greedy, license checks and DRM that ruin good things. I demanded a refund.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Pro should always remain available offline. This is an unintended issue with purchase status, not intentional DRM. We've identified the problem and will fix it as soon as possible in an upcoming update. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

I have been a bee keeper for some time now and have to rely on tempature to work my hives. This app helps me know what are the optimal times available during the day to work on my hives. I am thankful I found this app.

Nach Updates nicht mehr brauchbar

Wie der Titel schon sagt nach einem Update wurden Funktionen ohne jegliche Bemerkung eingeschränkt bzw. abgestellt und man soll die PRO Version kaufen.

Response from developer

Hallo, danke für Ihre Rückmeldung. Mit diesem Update wurden keine Funktionen eingeschränkt oder in die Pro-Version verschoben – die kostenlose Version bietet denselben Funktionsumfang wie zuvor, mit zusätzlichen Verbesserungen. Sollten bei Ihnen dennoch Funktionen gesperrt erscheinen, wäre das ein Fehler, den ich gerne beheben möchte. Bitte kontaktieren Sie mich direkt über die App und nennen Sie Ihr Gerätemodell und Ihre iOS-Version. Falls Sie Pro bereits gekauft haben, können Sie den Kauf in der App über „Käufe wiederherstellen" reaktivieren – bitte achten Sie darauf, mit derselben Apple-ID angemeldet zu sein, mit der Sie Pro gekauft haben.
