Response from developer

Hallo und vielen Dank für deine positive Rezension! Viel Erfolg mit SunOnTrack und sonnige Grüße ☀️

Wow!

Vor dieser App wäre ich mit Winkelmesser und Meterstab auf mein Dach geklettert, und hätte die Verschattung mit Sonnenstand, Jahreszeit und Mathematik berechnet…so spare ich mir viel Zeit und Mühe. Einziger Nachteil: die Zeitleiste überdeckt teilweise den Winkelkreis. Alles in allem tolles Tool!

Response from developer

Hallo! Herzlichen Dank für deine tolle Rückmeldung und deine überaus positive Bewertung! Eventuell verdeckt die Zeitleiste unter einer bestimmten Bildschirmauflösung einen kleinen Teil – wir kümmern uns darum. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn du SunOnTrack so positiv weiterempfiehlst. Viel Freude damit und viele Sonnenstunden dir! Thomas ☀️

Excellent and useful

I use this for assessing building lots, planning where to put A/C units and choosing where to stay, even pick a parking spot. It’s a great app that simply works and is useful. Thank you.

Shadows

The shadows are static and don’t change with time of day . Don’t waste time paying for the app

Não possui projeção de sombra

O aplicativo não tem opção pra teste, comprei imaginando que o app trazia a projeção de sombras dos prédios, mas não tem essa opção, apenas simulação bem ruim manual.

Response from developer

Hola! Gracias por sus comentarios. SunOnTrack ofrece muchas funciones profesionales sobre el sol y simula sombras de objetos definidos por el usuario en el mapa, en línea con lo prometido. Es justo evaluar la aplicación basándose en la calidad y no en expectativas divergentes. Si es necesario, puedes solicitar un reembolso. ¡Saludos al sol! 🌞
