Plan your shoot before you arrive. This app helps photographers scout locations with the details that actually matter — light, access, timing, and real-world conditions — so you can show up prepared and confident. Explore photo locations with golden hour timing, sunrise and sunset info, parking access, permits, crowd considerations, and cell signal awareness. Save spots, add notes, and organize shoot ideas all in one place. Designed specifically for photographers, it removes guesswork from planning and helps you focus on making the shot instead of troubleshooting on location. After the 3-day trial, Scouting, Assistant, and the Sun/Moon Tracker Overlay become locked behind the paywall. To unlock and continue using these features, a paid subscription is required.
