Find your place in the sun. SunSeekr shows you where the sun is, right now. Find sunny pubs, cafés, rooftops and restaurants, or use Sun Paths to walk through the sunshine.

See the actual shape of a terrace and how much of it is in the sun right now. No more guessing. SUN EXPOSURE BY HOUR Every venue shows when the sun hits, hour by hour. Planning a 4pm drink?

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buzz at 100% against SunSeekr's 36%. Buzz also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). SunSeekr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
