Really like it

I really like this app, but when I change the date the sun (angle) disappears. I'm not sure how to set the time, or tell it to keep the same time as I scroll through days.

Hello! Thank you for your review and feedback! You're right—when a custom date is selected, the sun doesn't appear on the compass. Adding an option to use the current time for custom dates might be a great solution. Noted!

Gracias 🙏🏻

Soy fotógrafo de arquitectura y uso esta aplicación desde hace años. Sencilla y práctica. No hace falta más.

Well designed solar app

Thank you for taking the time to create and maintain this app. I’ve been using this for several years now and have gained a much better understanding of the sun’s path throughout the day and year. Initially, I used it to plan where to sit at a baseball stadium 😎. Now, I use it for a number of outdoor activities, particularly hunting and camping

Excellent app

I love the simplicity of this app; as someone who enjoys sunrises and sunsets, I often just want to know what time and in what direction I will find the sun. There are lots of apps that offer much more information, but that gets in the way of what I usually need. I've been using this app for many years, and it's always been stable and easy to use.

Thanks you! Enjoy the Sun!

Excellent free app

This app is excellent to know the time of sunrise and sunset including golden hours and sun position at any place on earth. It is enjoyable to look at the time dial shift to adapt DST change, clever.

Very Nice

This app is very clean with a nice interface. There are a couple of things that would make the app much more useful. Being able to show the sun when the time position isn't 'now'. Also if it displayed the altitude and azimuth of the sun. The app obviously has this data already, why not display it?

Great tool just elevation is missing

Knowing the angle of the sun would be very useful to optimize positioning of solar power setups !

Thank you for the feedback! I’m improving the details slowly. If you have something to take on first — please share.

Delightful Little App

Pretty handy tool when laying out landscaping or planing a jobsite set up and operation and it’s just actually pretty darn fun. If there were an option for Apple Maps or Open Source Maps this would be perfect. My only niggle is having Google invade my de-Googled iPhone.

Thank you! Enjoy! 🧭 Right now app use built in Apple Maps, and does not have any analytics or google services in use. Using Open Source maps is interesting opportunity, yet nowadays would require a solid investment, which contradicts the purpose of the app — simple, fast, free. Anyway, it won’t add any google to your phone ☺️

Setting time

Without possibility set time in which I want to know the sun position (not only in actual time) is this app useless for me.

Brilliantly simple tool

I’m a keen amatueur photographer and wanted a simple tool to help me work out the best time to photograph buildings etc., to best advantage. This seems to be that tool. It’s great to be able to zoom in accurately on the satellite view, and the graphical representation of the data in a simple, intuitive way seems better than other apps I’ve seen. Thanks for producing this brilliant (and free!) tool.

Great Tool

Great little tool that doesn’t collect any data from you. Fantastic!!! The one caveat Oleg is that occasionally I don’t have access to convenient landmarks so a compass feature enabling me to orient my phone in the same North/South plane would be invaluable. I still recommend this app very highly.

Response from developer

Thank you! If I understood you correctly, you can tap the location button a second time to enable map rotation. This way, you can find North/South and orient yourself towards your non-convenient landmark. Hope it helps! 🧭

Super

Intuitiv und kostenlos. Besser geht’s nicht. Danke

Make Google Maps Current

The Google Maps are not current. The Satellite view shows how old they are.

Hello! The app is not using Google Maps. It is using latest Apple Maps instead. Please, use Maps app at the same location to validate it. That said, having non-Apple components would impact your privacy. Currently app is not using anything non-Apple. And unfortunately it’s not always the best. What can be done: feedback to Apple on your locations of interest and request to update maps there. Sometimes they listen.

Sun rise sun set.

How to get Temperature, just suddenly came on. Very good. Thanks.

Hi! By default, if you zoom to the place close enough, in the bottom right corner of the map you will find the temperature. It’s showing current temperature for the place. In forecast (if you choose tomorrow’s date, for example) it will show you the midday temperature. And, there’s update coming — which has exactly weather fix :)) it was not displaying in some cases. Hope that helps! Enjoy the Sun!
