Ratings and Reviews
Only app of its kind
I never - or virtually never - review an app. But I’m a photographer and this app deserves my five-star review. I must have tried a dozen apps to help me plan for landscape photos and make educated guesses about where and when the sun will hit. Sure, plenty of apps will tell you the timing and direction of a sunrise or sunset. And if you’re on location, plenty of apps offer augmented reality so you can view the arc of the sun. But this is THE ONLY app that will show you, with the slide of your finger, whether you will be in shadow or not. Think you’ll see the sunrise at 7:00 from that footbridge because your app said the timing and angle is right? Better make sure you’re not on the wrong side of a building. Or a billboard. Or a whole bloody ridge line. Better download this app and double check before you head out there.

A whole new level
I am an architectural photographer and I have many apps on my phone, which help me with the sun. I found this app today and it is a Game changer. To be able to know the ex act time that the sun is hitting the building is huge. No more guessing or getting out to the location at the wrong time. Plus, this is the only app I’ve ever had the CEO of the company write me back so fast. I give this easily a 5 out of 5…
