About

Sunset Predictor with AR

Features
Read full description

Most sun-tracking apps can tell you WHEN the sun will set. Sunset Predictor tells you whether it's actually going to look good. Using live weather and cloud-layer data, Sunset Predictor scores tonight's sunset from 0-100 — so you know before you grab your camera and head out whether you're in for a vibrant, colorful show or a flat, gray non-event. WHY THIS APP IS DIFFERENT Other sun-position apps show you the math: azimuth, elevation, golden hour times. Useful, but they can't tell you if the sky will actually be worth photographing. Sunset Predictor analyzes low, mid, and high cloud cover, humidity, and visibility to give you a real quality forecast — built specifically for photographers who don't want to waste a golden hour on a washed-out sky. FEATURES - Sunset Quality Score — a 0-100 rating based on live weather data, with a plain-English explanation of what's driving the score - Golden & Blue Hour Timing — exact sunset, golden hour, and blue hour times for any date and location - AR Sun Path Overlay — point your camera at the sky and see exactly where the sun is now, where it'll be each hour, and where it sets — overlaid live on your camera view - Compass View — a clean, always-available view of the sun's direction relative to where you're standing - Plan Ahead — check any date up to 60 days out. Forecasts are most accurate within 7 days; beyond that, you'll still get exact timing and direction to help you plan a trip or shoot - Favorite Locations — save the spots you shoot most, or search any city or address to check conditions before you travel - Sunset Alerts — optional notifications when a great sunset is predicted, so you never miss one because you didn't check the app - Built for Photographers — designed and field-tested by a working photographer who needed this tool and couldn't find it WHO IT'S FOR Landscape and golden-hour photographers, drone pilots, wedding and portrait photographers timing outdoor sessions, or anyone who just doesn't want to miss a great sunset. One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account required, no data collected.
