Photography/Drone Toolkit
Phil (The Real One)
Love this simple elegant and well thought out app. It is a must for all photographers professional or amateur as it is for anyone flying drones and needing to understand the exact lighting conditions at your precise location. The app integrates well with Apple Watch and is now a central addition to my toolkit. Beautiful style and design but perfectly functional 10/10!
Great app, but notifications need work
iorkara
I really like Lumy — it’s beautiful, accurate, and the reminders are super handy for tracking golden hour and moon phases. My only frustration is that notifications only seem to work if the app is still running in the background. If I fully close it, I don’t get the alerts. It would be amazing if Lumy could add true push notification support so the reminders always arrive, even when the app isn’t open. That would make it perfect. Otherwise, fantastic app and highly recommended!
Gorgeous app with superb data!

Edit: had some dramas with widget not being accessible however resolved now. This app is beautiful, relevant and targets a range of desires for various users. I am not into photography at all however the one stop shop for weather, light and moon data has been superb for hiking and enjoying the outdoors!
