Timelyshot te ayuda a planificar fotografías en las que el Sol o la Luna quedan exactamente donde tú quieres: detrás de un monumento, sobre una montaña o alineados con cualquier punto que elijas. Elige tu posición y el objetivo, y la app calcula el momento exacto en que el astro se alinea, con su azimut y su altura. Así llegas al sitio justo a la hora justa. FUNCIONES • Cálculo de alineación solar y lunar eligiendo dos puntos en el mapa. • Modo brújula y modo realidad aumentada: apunta el móvil al cielo y mira la trayectoria del astro superpuesta en directo. • Golden Hour: descubre, día a día del año, cuándo el Sol queda bajo en el horizonte sobre tu línea. • Amaneceres y atardeceres con cuenta atrás. • Guarda tus alineaciones y vuelve a ellas cuando quieras. • Añade el momento a tu calendario y obtén indicaciones para llegar al punto de disparo. Ideal para fotógrafos de paisaje, aficionados a la astronomía y cualquiera que quiera capturar el cielo en el momento perfecto. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.7 — 2026-08-11 Everything built around the total solar eclipse of 12 August. NEW: COVERAGE MAP You can now see on the map whether the terrain will let you watch the eclipse from the spot you have in mind. It is worked out from elevation data at 25 metres: the red areas are those where a hill or mountain will hide the Sun during totality. If you pick a point in the red, the app warns you before calculating. CHOOSING YOUR SPOT IS MUCH EASIER One button expands the map to full screen, so you can fine-tune the location and request the calculation without leaving it. You can also drop your point with a tap or by holding your finger down, as on any other map. UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU WILL SEE The percentage we show is the darkness your eye will actually perceive, not the fraction of the Sun's disc that is covered, and you can now tap it to read why those are not the same thing: at 99 % of the disc covered there is still plenty of light. Only totality is real darkness. THE ANIMATION NOW HAS A CLOCK The eclipse simulation shows the local time at every moment, and you can run it at 1x, 2x or 4x or stop it wherever you like. The moment of maximum is marked. SMALLER THINGS The 12 August eclipse is highlighted in the list so you cannot miss it. There is a shortcut to My eclipses from the section. And the buttons and wording across the whole eclipse section are clearer. FIXES Fixed the bug that prevented deleting your account from within the app. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us know. ### 1.6 — 2026-08-08 Ready for the total eclipse on August 12: • Improved coverage map: now visible when zoomed out too, loads much faster and shows a progress indicator while downloading. • More accurate eclipse augmented reality, with its own independent calibration. • Calculation names are pre-filled automatically (you can edit them): one less step before requesting your calculation. • Redesigned My Alignments list — clearer cards with direct access to each calculation. ### 1.5 — 2026-08-07 The great August 12 eclipse is here, and this version helps you pick the perfect spot to watch it: New coverage map: totality will happen with the Sun very low, so the terrain decides where it can be seen. We analyzed the entire Spanish path of totality in fine detail (25 m elevation data from Spain's IGN): green means you see the full totality; red means the terrain blocks the Sun. Turn it on from the eclipse map or when choosing your observation point, with a legend and a built-in explanation. Smart warning: if you pick a spot where the terrain will block the Sun, the app warns you before calculating. You can still calculate anyway. Real darkness: the eclipse percentage now reflects the darkness you will actually perceive, with an explanation one tap away. Improved animation: simulated local time, 1x, 2x and 4x speeds, and a marker at the moment of maximum. New "My eclipses" shortcut to revisit your calculations in one tap. The calculation name is now at the top, in plain sight. Design touch-ups and fixes. Pick your spot with the coverage map and confirm it on site with augmented reality. Enjoy the eclipse! ### 1.4 — 2026-08-06 Ready for the total solar eclipse on August 12: Real darkness percentage: results now show the darkness your eye will actually perceive, not just the covered disk. Tap it for an explanation, technical figure included. Animation with time: pause the simulation and see the exact local time for each moment of the eclipse, with 1x, 2x and 4x playback speeds. More accurate augmented reality: projection now uses your camera's real field of view, with orientation corrected to true north. Compass reliability notice inside the camera view: if we detect interference or poor calibration, we tell you without blocking your view. New "My eclipses" shortcut, and the August 12 eclipse highlighted in the list. ### 1.3 — 2026-08-04 Introducing the ECLIPSES section, just in time for the total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026. - Pick any solar or lunar eclipse through 2030 and tap the spot on the map where you want to watch it from. - Exact time of every phase at that location, the real darkness you'll actually notice, and how long totality lasts. - Augmented reality: open the camera and see where the eclipse will cross the sky — and whether a mountain or building will block your view. - If the path of totality passes nearby, we'll tell you how many kilometers away it is and draw it on the map. - Countdown to the big day and a button to add it to your calendar. - Improved augmented reality stability, with a compass calibration alert when needed. - The "My alignments" section is now My results: your alignments, golden hour and eclipses, all in one place. ## More apps by Manuel Losada - [ReflexRivals](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reflexrivals/id6779931755) All apps by Manuel Losada: https://appshunter.io/developer/6779931757 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
