Plan the shot before you leave

Free · In‑App Purchases

FotoNoa tells you when and from where to take the photo you have in mind. Sun, Moon, Milky Way, eclipses and meteor showers, calculated for your exact location and matched with the weather forecast. TODAY, THE WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE Sunrise, golden hour, sunset, blue hour and full night, with the weather for each one. The Moon's phase, its rises and sets, and the next eclipse with its countdown. THE MAP THAT PLANS THE SHOT On the Google map, drop a pin on the hill, the church or the tree you want to photograph and move through time: FotoNoa tells you at what time the Sun, the Moon or the center of the Milky Way pass right there. • Line up: finds the exact date and time of the alignment by itself • Terrain viewer with real relief, to know whether the hill blocks your horizon • Dates: which days the full Moon rises behind that peak, with the phase you choose • Light and shadow over the terrain at any time you want • Preview of the frame, with the real street photo or drawn from afar • Terrain height, distance, bearing and apparent size of the Sun or Moon • Favorites: save the whole scene and bring it back whenever you want AUGMENTED REALITY VIEWER Point your phone at the sky and see where the Sun, the Moon with its real phase, the planets, the drawn constellations, the nebulae, the satellites and the Space Station are, and where they will be. With the Milky Way in its real position and the stars turning around the celestial pole. NIGHTS WORTH GOING OUT A simple 1 to 10 score for the night, combining clouds by layer, humidity, fog, the Moon and the real light pollution of your area. Plus "Which night is best?", which rates the next 10 nights and tells you which one to pick and why. PLACES NEARBY Lookouts, hills, beaches and dams within 30 km, with the quality of their sky, and a daily recommendation: whether this week is for night shooting, chasing the Moon or photographing a sunrise. NEAR YOU: WORKSHOPS, OUTINGS AND STORES The Nearby tab gathers what you have at hand to go out shooting: workshops and outings by photographers who teach in your area, with date, place and how to book, and photography stores and services (gear, rentals, developing, repair) with address, phone and directions. If you have a store, a service or an event, there is a form to get listed. LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY Step-by-step guides with illustrations and videos: photography basics (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, the exposure triangle), night sky, portrait, landscape, product, timelapse, the Moon, the Sun, filters and how to choose a lens. Enter your camera and lenses once and the tutorials give you the exact numbers for YOUR gear, not generic values. And in the Courses tab, online courses by photographers who teach what the app helps you plan. REAL CALCULATIONS A native, precise astronomy engine (astronomy-engine) and public data: Open-Meteo for weather, OpenStreetMap for maps and places, the World Atlas of Light Pollution, CelesTrak for satellites and NASA for imagery. Free, ad-free and made with care for the photography community.

Clearer Favorites: each one shows when, in big letters, and how long until it happens. Tapping a favorite opens it full screen, with even buttons and «Remove» at the end. «Your plan» is simpler: less text under the photo and «Save» at the very end. The step-by-step for your phone is now a list to read, with no checkboxes. New «Plan today's photo» in Today: opens the assistant with the Moon or the landscape. Every date has a 1-to-10 score, and it tells you when it works if you move. It warns you if a building or a hill may block the photo. «How big it will look» shows the Moon or Sun behind your subject. Share your plans as KMZ and open PhotoPills ones. The search understands more Google Maps links, coordinates and photos. Storms: the weather hour by hour. A clearer map: the top panel stays put and small, with «Info» to see when the object rises and sets. Rise and set lines, and the line to your point turns grey if it doesn't pass there that day. «Undo» puts the pins back where they were, and «Save» adds to Favorites without repeating the same place. When you change location, Today updates right away. New camera simulator in Learn: move the aperture, shutter and ISO and watch the photo change. By day, a waterfall; at night, the Milky Way with a 14 to 50 mm zoom and turning stars. Eight challenges, and it adapts to your gear. «Photo didn't come out?»: pick the photo and we tell you what happened and what to try, with your numbers. The Milky Way in «Your plan» can be rehearsed in the simulator. Basic mode is clearer. «Tonight» sums up the night with its 1-to-10 score, the reasons and the best moment. What's coming up sits at the top of Today, and the Moon's phase is said in words. «Your plan» can now be shared, reminds you the day before and goes to your Apple or Google calendar. If the Sun or Moon never passes behind what you picked, it tells you where to stand so it does. If you move the camera on the map, «Your plan» updates with the new time. In «Aim» the buttons have names, you line up the drawing with the Moon in one tap and rehearse your plan at its time, with your target marked. Fewer false «offline» warnings, and the app notices you traveled when you open it too.
