SunTrack offers two primary tracking modes: Equatorial (Polar) mount, which provides tilt and elevation parameters, and Altazimuth mount, which provides azimuth and elevation parameters. The Equatorial mount assumes the apparatus is pointed due south for accurate tracking.
The app utilizes the iPhone or iPod Touch's internal accelerometer to determine the elevation and tilt of the device's surface. This data is then used in conjunction with user-entered latitude and the current time to calculate the sun's position.
Yes, both the Altazimuth and Equatorial displays support automatic updates from location services. iPhones can use Wi-Fi, GPS, and cellular data, while iPod Touches derive location from Wi-Fi internet connections.
For the Altazimuth display to accurately measure azimuth records using the magnetometer, you need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. Other devices, like the iPod Touch, will still support the older Polar or Equatorial parameters.
The app provides the error or difference between the calculated sun elevation and tilt and the actual elevation and tilt of the device's surface. This allows users to assess the accuracy of the tracking based on their device's orientation.
SunTrack is supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices. It was released on December 19, 2009, and its latest version is 1.8.1, last updated on November 2, 2025.
SunTrack has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users. The app is developed by ColuzziWeb.
