3D shadow is a game changer

I’ve been looking for an app like to plan my garden. No other sun position tracking apps I’ve tried are so intuitive as this one. The 3D shadow feature shows you exactly what parts of my yard is in the shadow on any given day (with paid subscription, which is worth it).
