Forced re-purchase
New version is worthless. Old version used to have ray tracing to view the light at various hours. New version has deleted that functionality & forced me to re purchase the app after using the old version for years.
The BEST app!!!
This app is an absolute must have for any Landscape Photographer! The first thing I did after getting familiar with the apps controls was to get on the map and Pin, and save all my favorite places, and places I plan on shooting in the future. That way I can use my ipad offline at any of the locations and still be able to use all the calculators for sunrise and set, and moonrise and set. And also be able to track the stars! You will be able to plan when and where you want to shoot months ahead. ABSOLUTLEY INVALUABLE!!!

Response from developer
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the app.
Indispensable for photographers
This is where i plan my locations and consider the incidence of lights, sunset, moonrise times and direction.
Amazing!
This is an essential App if you want to plan your photographs beyond “f8 and be there.”
There’s nothing wrong with going out and finding photos you love by being in the moment and catching your flow. That’s still the majority of my photography by far.
BUT if you want to pre-visualize what a location has to offer TPE is an astounding tool. Especially when you’re making a photo trip to unfamiliar areas.
It’s also killer for rolling out in the moment to guide you to a shot you feel is possible if only you can look into the future, even if it’s just an hour from now.
Get it. You’ll love it.

Indispensable, unique
J'utilise cette application depuis de nombreuses années pour programmer des séances de shootings; paysages, portraits, heure bleue, dorée en extérieur. Maitriser l'orientation du soleil et des ombres projetées est essentiel en photo.
(Photographie => dessiner avec la lumière) Cela permet de programmer le jour et le moment très précis où il faut être sur place à tel endroit. Cet outil est indispensable.
Grand merci et bravo au developpeur

Just what I needed
too complicated
if you use the most basic functions, it’s useful to figure out where the sunrise sunset, moonrise, etc. is happening. And it works great for a while until I accidentally clicked on the wrong button and now I can’t figure out how to get back to the default settings, even after you delete, and reinstall the app. So now it’s useless to me. if there was a way to go back to the default settings, I would’ve given it five stars.

No topographical data for cities or any way to view depth. Image was completely warped

The Best
This is the best app for any photographer. Had it for years. As and it never disappoints.
App subscribed me to Skyfire
I don’t know what happened but I downloaded the app, look at it once, then it subscribed me to Skyfire without my knowledge. Cost me $9.99.
Super zum Planen von schönen Outdoor Fotos
Ich verwende die App jetzt schon mehrere Jahre und sie wird nicht unwichtiger. Möchte man den Lichteinfall und die voraussichtliche Lichtfarbe planen, kommt man an der App m.E. nicht vorbei.
Great History Tool
I only infrequently use this for photography, I mainly use it for find out the position of the moon back in history. I cover the musket wars in NZ about 200 years ago. For any battle or dawn attack it good to know where the moon was, was there a full moon. What time did the moon set, what time did the sun rise…this app provides me with all the answers.
If only there was something similar for the tides…
I love this app!

Minor GUI issues
I’ve used this app before and glad the weather was added. However it is a bit odd that the app will not both center you and show the direction you are pointing without having to engage the compass in the app. Other such apps not only show you where you are but help with the compass direction of an object without having to first locate the moon/sun or app compass (look down). The video help files default to Vimeo, even tho author indicates YouTube available elsewhere.

Planning
This AP is great for planning a photo in advance of how to photograph your favorite location.
Great for Ground Based, Could be improved for drones.
I got this 2 years ago after I drove to location for a sunset, only to find the sun was setting behind a hill, 15 minutes earlier than I expected, when I arrived. I use it religiously ever since, especially for sunset photos. Love it.
I also do drone photography and with is where I think the app can be improved. It would be nice if I could set the red pin height up to 5000 FT AGL. [Note: Anything above 400’ AGL requires an FAA Waiver and a UAS NOTAM.] This would be helpful in two ways. First, for normal sunsets, it helps with the true placement of the drone to the landscape. Second, I like to take inverse sunset videos by starting low at the moment of sunset and climbing vertically cause the sun to rise. This can be tricky to time and a tool that would calculate the angles 50’ to 400’ AGL would assist in calculating start and rate of climb.

Extremely helpful!!
I use TPE all the time when I am doing a photo shoot. It has been spot on and and an invaluable tool!
Good For Photography and More!
Beyond knowing where the sun/moon will be for photos…see if morning sun will hit your hotel room, or when will the sun move behind you at the ballpark, etc. Use the AR tool to stand in the yard of a potential new home to see if trees would provide useful shade in the summer. Such a tremendous tool!
Still going! Amazing
I don’t use this app much but when I do, I’m glad it’s still here. When something has been around for this long you know it’s the best.
Love this app
This app is by far worth the $ that they ask for, has definitely taken my photography skills to the next level by letting me know when and where I need to be for those amazing sunrise and sunset shots! If you contemplating getting this app, don't hesitate just buy it
