LightCast Suite
Photography Weather Forecasts
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Know if tonight's sunset is worth chasing before you leave. GoldCast scores golden hour 0-100 and gives the best shooting window — get weather conditions for photography.
You checked a weather app. It said partly cloudy. You drove an hour for sunset. The light was flat. LightCast Suite makes sure that won't happen again, giving you a score and notification for tonight's specific conditions. Not raw weather data. An actual answer that's easy to understand for outdoor photographers.
1 Suite, 6 Photography Tools:
GoldCast: Tonight's sunset or sunrise on a 0-100 scale, with your best shooting window and a plain-language sky reading
StarCast: Milky Way visibility, Bortle class, moon phase, and dark window timing in one place for your astrophotography shoots
FogCast: Know when fog is likely to form and see expected density, timing, and burn-off windows
CloudCast: Cloud layer breakdown and light quality scored for your shooting target: portrait, landscape, wildlife, or long exposure
DroneCast: Don't lose a shot to a gust you didn't see coming. See wind speed, gusts, and visibility scored for what your exact drone model can handle, so you know before you fly
TriCast: exposure triangle, ND stops, star trail intervals, DOF, and timelapse calculators — every field tool you need, one tap away
Receive notifications when conditions cross your thresholds, so you never miss a shooting window. Explore conditions on a map, and see where conditions are better nearby before you make the drive.
Built to help photographers chase better light.
LightCast Premium is available as a monthly subscription ($2.99/month, after a 7-day free trial). Pricing may vary by region. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
