About

KNOW WHEN IT IS WORTH GOING OUT. THEN PLAN THE SHOT. Viewpoint is the planner for outdoor and astro photographers, all in one app. The Conditions tab tells you, for every place you follow, whether it is worth going out and when your next window opens. What runs on your phone works without a signal. CALCULATORS AND TOOLS No purchase and no account needed. • Depth of field and hyperfocal: know what will be sharp before you focus. • Long exposure, star trails, and the longest shutter that keeps stars as points. • The sun, moon and Milky Way almanac, the sky-events calendar and a light meter. • And much more, working offline on your phone. CONDITIONS For every place you follow: is it worth going out, and when is your next window? A tile for each condition: clear night, golden light, fog, snow, storm light, darkness, the sun, the moon, light pollution and sky events. This comes with Online. NIGHT SKY AND ASTRO Sun, moon and Milky Way positions for any spot, worked out on your phone. • Explore (Pro): the day and time the sun or moon lines up with your subject. • AR Scout (Pro): raise your phone and see the sun, moon and Milky Way drawn over the camera. • Satellite transits (Pro): when the Space Station crosses the sun or the moon near you. • Light pollution (Online): how much light rises from the ground at a place, from a year of night-time satellite measurements, with the darker places nearby and the distance and direction to each. SMART ALERTS Alerts belong to a place you follow (Online). Each one weighs that place's forecast, the darkness and the moon, then tells you which way to look. • Aurora alerts also set tonight's Kp against the Kp your place needs. • Golden light, fog, clear night skies, snow, storm light. Quiet by default. • An aurora heads-up a few hours ahead, once per night. FIELD SCOUTING Capture a spot in one tap and keep your places in maps of your own. • Capture (Pro): one tap saves a spot with its GPS, compass bearing, sun position and your photo's EXIF. Add notes and shoot plans. • Maps of your spots (Pro): group the places you scout. • Find Your Viewpoint (Online): name your subject and get real places to stand, with the time the sun, moon or Milky Way lines up behind it. • Sync across your devices, compressed photo copies, and sharing a spot or a map with another photographer (Online). • Viewpoint on the web: your library, maps and plans on the big screen (Online). STUDIO Turn your shots into carousels and pan videos. Studio is part of Pro. • Carousels and pan videos from a panorama, spec cards and before-and-after reels. • Home and lock screen widgets (Pro). CHOOSE YOUR PLAN • On every plan: calculators such as depth of field and hyperfocal, the almanac, the sky-events calendar and the light meter. No account, no ads. • Pro, yours to keep: Explore, AR Scout, satellite transits, capture and your library, maps, shoot plans and Studio, and widgets. No subscription. • Online: everything that needs a connection, with Pro included while you subscribe. Choose monthly, quarterly or yearly. Quarterly and yearly make Pro yours to keep after the first paid period; monthly includes Pro only while you subscribe. Viewpoint Online renews automatically until you cancel.

What's New in Viewpoint

2.1.1

October 23, 2026

Viewpoint 2.1.1: the first fixes for 2.1. • Your temperature unit, everywhere. If you use Fahrenheit, the Conditions header, the high and low, your place cards and the weather tiles now match the hourly forecast. • The northern lights sky. When the aurora reaches your place at night, the Conditions page shows the aurora sky it was meant to. • Numbers in your language. The sun's height in the almanac and the numbers for eclipses, meteor showers and satellite passes use your language's decimal mark. • Unlocking Pro from a tool keeps you on that tool. Upgrading from a tool's own screen now opens that tool, instead of sending you to Conditions. • Links go all the way. A spot or map link opened while the app was closed now opens the spot or the map, and on iPad it is selected in the side-by-side view. • The light pollution card's button opens its map. It asks for your location once, and the map's double-tap and appearance behave on iPhone. • Your places stay tidy. Following your current location from the bell no longer piles up near-duplicate places with blank names. • On iPad, the Conditions header shows the sun and moon facts line again. • Back to now on the moon. Scrub more than two days away and a circled arrow at the edge of the title points the way back; tap it to return to tonight. • Smoother moon scrubbing. Dragging through the days moves the moon without stutter. • The plan comparison is accurate: the table of what each plan includes lists Studio with the plan that has it. • Photo sync wording. We describe photo sync as a compressed copy, not a backup, so you know what is stored.
