    This app is perfect for photographers in knowing exactly what time of day is best for photographing outdoor subjects. Also great for drone videoing also!

    This app was fine at the beginning Now when I zoom out on the frame, at some point, the freaking app decides for me that it’s now time to zoom in!!!!!! Makes the appp extremely inefficient in use of my time

  • Best solar tracking.

    This is a fantastic app for knowing where the natural lighting will be. Super easy to understand and to use. Obviously extremely useful for photography lighting choices, but has many other uses as well. At any day / time of the year you can figure out where the sun will be shining, inside and out. This is great for interior design, including wall, drapery and furniture color choices, to placement of various furniture and activities within a room. Planning a wedding for next June, make sure the Bride and Groom are neither squinting, nor in the shade. This app showed us just how good our guesses were for where we placed shade trees on the south side of our house after moving in. Next time, we won’t have to guess - we can figure out exactly where will be best. Great for pool and sun-dependent landscaping choices. Great for architects to get a quick idea of how they might site their building, well before getting into too much building detail or spending bucks doing full annual computer sun simulations. Great for HVAC Contractors and Engineers (me) for doing initial airflow balance planning. Great for astronomy buffs and general science nerds!! Helps me know when I can expect to let my cabin-fevered cats out on the back deck in early spring. Love it! Will support this app forever!! Thanks!!

  • Too expensive, poor quality

    Spent $9 for this app to give me close to no help at all

  • Pretty but same as free apps. Confusing.

    This app doesn’t seem to do what the screenshots suggest. I can move the time slider and get an angle of the sun in visual and number, and an elevation number, but that’s it (I can get this in other free apps too). I don’t see any way, not by intuitive UI or by (missing) instructions, how the app can visualize the sun angle on the horizon, as suggested in the screenshot with the tree and shadow. I also looked at the “bundle” which shows 3 apps in the icon for $12.99 if I remember well, but the description mentions only 2 apps. So… Apparently I purchased this single app and the moon calendar but so far I have not seen any charge for it in the app store. When I do, I will request a refund. Confusing overall.
