## What is SunSeekr?

Find your place in the sun.

SunSeekr shows you which pubs, cafés, rooftops and restaurants have sunny outdoor seating — right now. Not in an hour. Not a forecast. Right now.

Our real-time shadow simulation maps sunlight across your city, so you always know where to sit.

HOW IT WORKS
SunSeekr uses building geometry and sun position data to calculate exactly where sunlight falls - updated in real time. Open the app, see which terraces are sunny, go there.

WHAT'S NEW IN V3

- MAPPED TERRACES
We don't just show pins. We show the actual terrace shape and what percentage is in sun right now. No more guessing.

- SUN EXPOSURE BY HOUR
Every venue shows when the sun hits — hour by hour. Planning a 4pm drink? See exactly when that terrace catches the sun and when it loses it.

- WEATHER INTELLIGENCE
Temperature, wind, rain — all factored in. SunSeekr tells you when it's genuinely nice to sit outside, not just when the sun is technically visible.

- SMART NOTIFICATIONS
Save your favourite spots and get a nudge when conditions are perfect. "Your saved spot just hit sun and it's 19°C."

- EXPLORE
Discover verified venues, trending spots, and local events. Filter by what matters — venue type, outdoor seating, sun score — and find your perfect spot.

- COMMUNITY MAPPING
See an unmapped terrace? Draw it yourself. The community builds the map together. Earn points for every terrace you add.

WORKS EVERYWHERE
London · Berlin · Barcelona · Amsterdam · New York · Sydney — and everywhere the sun shines. SunSeekr works in any city, worldwide.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2026-05-27, version 3.0.0*

Concept is good. However the angle and the shades from building do not always reflect reality. Trees and other large structures not take into the account

### 1/5 — Innacurate

*2026-05-15, version 3.0.0*

Looks like it just does whether the general area is sunny, not the actual outdoor areas of the pub

### 4/5 — Would like to set accurate location

*2026-04-30*

I’m in Denver on the map but the app says at the top that I’m in Los Angeles in terms of the weather. It is still nice to be able to see the areas that are shaded around me in downtown Denver. You can also move the time so that you can see where the sun will be hitting in the future. Great for checking if the sun is out on the pool deck yet!

### 5/5 — Super coole Idee

*2026-04-27*

hatte schon oft überlegt welche Cafés etc. immer in der Sonne liegen, damit hat sich meine Frage geklärt 😍

### 5/5 — So nich!

*2026-04-20*

Sehr praktische und inzwischen wirklich sauber überarbeitete App. Die neue Version läuft deutlich runder, die Echtzeitberechnung baut endlich schnell und zuverlässig auf, und die früheren Kinderkrankheiten scheinen beseitigt. Gerade wenn man spontan sehen will, wo und wann die Sonne hinkommt, ist die App im Alltag extrem nützlich. Klare Empfehlung.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2026-04-13*

Ungenau und überforderns

### 2/5 — Lots of Errors

*2026-03-22, version 3.0.0*

Great idea but there are several places in my local area on the map that have now closed, some for quite some time. A non local could be wondering around for a while to find that sunny venue.

### 5/5 — Inspired!

*2026-03-21, version 3.0.0*

Using 3.0 version and it is very slick, very fast and has some great features. This is going to be an essential summer app in London! Well done 👏

### 1/5 — It does not work anymore

*2026-03-20*

This was a great app. But it does not seem to work anymore :/

### 2/5 — Not really accurate

*2026-03-20, version 3.0.0*

The app doesn’t account for natural shade so trees and hedges aren’t included in the data. The idea is great but it needs to be better than this. The Shademap app is better.
