Wish I'd read Tishalyn's review. Exactly right. Was expecting something like the Sun Seeker app but with shadows added to a Google Map satellite image to show extent of ground level shadows once a building height was entered. It's just got a bunch of tables and boxes. My fault I suppose. Should have paid more attention to the reviews but in my defence, it does seem to show satellite images and blocks on top of houses. I suppose the calculations are there, so it could be improved in the future. Perhaps it already does do what I want but I can't get it to do it from within the app. It either lacks the needed functionality or if it's there, clear instructions. I can't tell which. Anyway, as it stands it's no use to me.
I've paid for this app and there is no instruction at all regarding how to use it. I can navigate to an area which allows me to set a background but the generic blue square that you can manipulate around the picture cannot be changed, despite a menu which states 'pinch to zoom/height/aspect'. I cannot do any of these things. I fail to see how I can make this relevant to my needs.
Simple to use and does what it is intended for. What might be nice is readymade house shapes or the ability to copy an object.Well done
Great idea, things that I would add to app are,*Compatibility with Google maps satellite.*Easier to add the shadow layers.*Copy and paste particular layers.*Easier to understand what the measurements are, what does the height represent I am not entirely clear.*Therefore a guide to help would be good giving people an idea on rough heights of 2 storey dwellings etc.Thanks again for a good idea and a possibly great app!
Features like being able to scale a background or even better integrate with a mapping service to use their scales.Also would be nice to be able to zoom into the scene so you can manipulate the objects easier.
Version 4 addresses these issues and offers many additional improvements. Available now!
I'm building a house and used this to see how the house will affect the garden light...really handy
