The best view everytime

iPhone
Point your iPhone at the horizon and see exactly where the sun will rise — before it does. Find the best nearby viewpoint and never miss a sunrise again.
Sunrise Compass shows you where the sun will rise and set — overlaid on the real world through your camera.
Point your iPhone at the horizon and an augmented-reality marker pins the exact spot the sun will appear, with its climbing path traced across the sky. A compass ribbon and turn-by-turn hints guide you until you're facing it.
FIND THE PERFECT SPOT
Sunrise Compass analyzes real elevation data around you and recommends the best nearby viewpoints — higher ground, local hilltops, and places with an unobstructed sightline toward the sunrise. Each suggestion explains why it's good and opens directly in Maps with directions.
• Live AR view: sunrise and sunset markers pinned to the real horizon
• Compass ribbon with precise azimuths and sun times
• Best-spot finder scored from a topographic elevation model
• Walking or driving directions via Apple Maps
• Works anywhere on Earth — handles polar day and night gracefully
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Your camera images never leave your device.
