Still the best!
The information in this guide is invaluable to anyone going to Yosemite who wants to know where and when to get the best shots. I've been going to the park for 30 years, and I still enjoy getting a refresher from this book each time I go. Don't let the lack of updating deter you. This is still relevant and well worth the small price.

Please update the app.
Too many bugs on the newest iPhone / OS. Needs an update as it’s nearly impossible to use.
Excellent app
I was just at Yosemite and this app was totally what I needed! As a photographer, it was important to me to be at the right spots at the right time of day! The park is way bigger than you could imagine, and Michael’s wealth of information made it so helpful for choosing the right location at the right time of day! It did not disappoint!!!

Version 2.0+ UX “improvements” are horrible
The previous UX of the app worked well, the current edition is a big step backwards. And, it’s ugly. Another example of trying to “fix” something that wasn’t broken.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
I am going to Yosemite for the first time, and I could not imagine a better photography helper app to bring along. This app has practical photography help at multiple levels, and an organization that empowers you to find what you need when you need it. We all like "free" apps, but this is worth every penny you'll spend for it!

Only the best by a Master Photographer
All the info in App one needs to make a photography trip to Yosemite a success.
Great Planning Tool
This is really a great tool from someone who really knows Yosemite. It made planning much easier. The only problem I ran into is that the app does not remember filter settings when you exit. If I've set my filter to winter months for a certain area, then leave the app to make note in another app, my filter is gone when I return. It's ok, I dug up an old pencil. It would be nice to have the settings remembered or better yet, a place within the app to make notes or bookmark a page.
Don't let these comments deter you though. You should have this app if planning a trip toYosemite.

The best App for Yosemite photography
I LOVE this App. I regret not buying it earlier. Best $ you will ever spend.
I’m a believer
Rarely do I find an app with such great attention to detail. This intuitive and simple app is far more than just a guide to Yosemite - it’s loaded with useful tips and information for photographers. I was hesitant to do a review of this app because I knew I couldn’t do it justice. It's a shining example of an app done right. Thank You!!!

Excellent Resource
This is an extremely well thought out and useful app. Essential for anyone looking to make the most of their photographic time in Yosemite - buy this now!
Exactly what you need to max out your Yosemite trip
This excellent app is ideal for use both before and while in Yosemite. It offers great organization and dead on advice by location, season and difficulty of terrain. Frye has a book by the same title and it too is very good, but when in the park, working to find as many opportunities as possible the app is the indispensable tool.
It contains a great deal of park information but also a wealth of precise info on how, when and why to shoot particular spots at a given time.
There is no other app like it and when combined with Google Earth you can really benefit from Frye's years of experience in the park to make the most of whatever time you have in any season.

I love it
The best 6 bucks I've spent on my trip to Yosemite. This app even covers Mono lake. I didn't expect that.
Excellent for Yosemite Photography
Michael has done it. If you get one guide to photographing Yosemite this is it.
Put at the top of your Yosemite Planning List
All I have to say is Wow! Anyone who is planning to do any photography in Yosemite who does not have this app in their pocket is simply going to miss something. A lot of somethings. And even if they find what they're looking for there' a good chance it will be the wrong time, wrong ;location or even wrong settings. I was amazed the degree of coverage I now have at my fingertips and completely confident it is delivered by someone who knows the park as well as anyone else on the planet. Just superb work! Thank you!

Great app!
A great app which covers Yosemite from a seasonal and time of day perspective. If visiting Yosemite it is a must!
Fantastic!!!
I just spent a week in Yosemite and this app was invaluable. Everything mentioned in it was spot on, you can tell the author knows the park inside and out. Also loved the helpful tips regarding the technological aspects of photography. It also has a filter to set for the time of year you visit the park, which saved me from hiking to places which may have very little to offer in the fall. I wish there were more apps as helpful as this one!

A must have, for visiting Yosemite
I recently returned from a week long visit to Yosemite, along with Michael's book I had this app on my phone. This is an invaluable tool for helping to find the right place at the right time of day to view Yosemite in all it's glory and hopefully capture it with your camera. As other's have mentioned the features I will simply say thank you Michael for sharing your wealth of knowledge in a very well designed and functional app.!

Terrific Guide for photographers
This app was indispensable on my visit to Yosemite. I had a short visit and wanted to make every photographic moment meaningful. This app did just that. I could position my camera such that the sun or moon rose or set exactly where I wanted it in the photo. The location guide put me in exactly the right place to capture the perfect image.

This Is The App You Need!
In the not so distant past an all day photo or video shoot in Yosemite National Park required schlepping around a bunch of maps, location notes, ephemeris times ... etc.
You also needed to calculate the DOF and focal lengths for your shoot, unless you really enjoy carrying all those extra lenses when hiking the Mist Trail to your location. XD
Then along came hand held GPS and wireless broadband devices, and apps.
Ever try to get a cell signal in the Yosemite area?
GOOD LUCK!!!
Michael Frye just made our lives a whole lot easier by creating this excellent app of his book "The Photographer's Guide To Yosemite".
The app features numerous locations in Yosemite, Wawona, Glacier Point, Mono Lake, and all points in between.
Michael's tips include photos of and directions to locations, the best shooting times (even seasonal best times), maps, DOF Calculator, an ephemeris tool...
By the way ... Did I mention that this app is fully functional without a wireless broadband connection?
Are you planning a shoot in Yosemite, and trying to figure out which app will best suit your needs?
Well look no further, because this is the app you need... not another one ... THIS IS THE ONE!
