Only app of its kind
09/14/2022

I never - or virtually never - review an app. But I’m a photographer and this app deserves my five-star review. I must have tried a dozen apps to help me plan for landscape photos and make educated guesses about where and when the sun will hit. Sure, plenty of apps will tell you the timing and direction of a sunrise or sunset. And if you’re on location, plenty of apps offer augmented reality so you can view the arc of the sun. But this is THE ONLY app that will show you, with the slide of your finger, whether you will be in shadow or not. Think you’ll see the sunrise at 7:00 from that footbridge because your app said the timing and angle is right? Better make sure you’re not on the wrong side of a building. Or a billboard. Or a whole bloody ridge line. Better download this app and double check before you head out there.

Pretty bad app

The map itself is like a 2bit map making it completely blurry and unusable. The ui is clunky and outdated. Half the screen is the controls that you cannot collapse. There is always and upgrade button that never goes away even though I already upgraded and could not care less about the real estate features. Seems like this app was made in 2015 then never updated.

Hi, we're sorry to hear that! Please reach out to support@shadowmap.org so we can help you resolve these issues. If you use an older device please also test the app on desktop in your browser under app.shadowmap.org with the same login. With your subscription you can also hide the UI in the settings. I hope this helps for now!

I am an architectural photographer and I have many apps on my phone, which help me with the sun. I found this app today and it is a Game changer. To be able to know the ex act time that the sun is hitting the building is huge. No more guessing or getting out to the location at the wrong time. Plus, this is the only app I’ve ever had the CEO of the company write me back so fast. I give this easily a 5 out of 5…
