Very cool!

This is a review of the Lite version, the full currently costs about $6 USD.The 3D Compass is a very neat toy to help locate the sun.The details of the sun position can be very useful for everything from picnicking, to hunting/fishing, to photography. The help file is a bit lacking. There are a few features on the compass not properly detailed in the file. If you're looking for app to track the sun, this will work fine.

Sun off by more than 10 degrees

This app is very nice, except for the fsct that the sun is reading more than 10 degrees to the left than where it actually is in the sky. Other astronomy apps I use give the correct azimuth reading. There is no way the sun can be at solar noon at azimuth 163 degrees. It always is at 180, unless the app takes into consideration your street’s orientation from true north??? Not worth buying the full version until this can get resolved, if another app update wver gets pushed out, that is...

Easy install and really no set up. Great for figuring out the sun path over your house during different times of the year for landscaping planning.

As a photographer shooting outdoors, I just need to know when the sun is coming up and going down. This does that cleanly and simply. 👌🏽
