INTRODUCTION
Photography's golden hour casts a warm, reddish glow shortly after sunrise or before sunset, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Its counterpart, the blue hour, bathes the world in a tranquil blue hue just before sunrise or after sunset. These moments, collectively known as magic hours, are when your photography can truly shine. Helios ensures you're always in the right place at the right time, no matter where you are, or if you have an internet connection, making it indispensable for photographers and videographers everywhere.

The "Tools" tab unveils the magic with an Augmented Reality Lens for real-time celestial tracking, a Light Meter for perfect exposure, and the Map Explorer, allowing you to survey sun and moon positions anywhere in the world for any given time. Plus, personalized notifications keep you in the loop with the latest timings and durations of these magical hours.

I am a professional portrait photographer and this app has helped me plan my photoshoots SO much. Seriously. I use it all the time during my photography season because the sun obviously changes so much during the year. I think I remember paying a cheap amount for this app a few years ago but it was totally worth it. Thankful!

Highly recommend

As a amateur photographer i highly recommend this app to anyone getting into photography. And the built in light meter is excellent and comes in handy.

Crap app

Don’t buy this app, it’s garbage. I thought it was a different version of an app I used to have which was extremely robust. But the lack of ability to pick a date, time, and location to get sun and moon arcs and path of travel makes it all but useless. Deleting. Wish I could get my money back. It’s not even worth 99¢.

Needs widget

i paid for this and i really like the way it shows the range of time for blue and golden hour. all i want is a small widget that shows the time ranges so i can have it on the top of my home screen above some other apps, and next to another widget

Love it but just one thing

It needs a variable alarm! No, not a notification, but and actual alarm would be so helpful and nice! One that changes automatically with the times the sun rises or sets. THAT would be so awesome!

Beautiful app

Love checking to see when golden hour will start each day!

Good app, but needs to be updated

Before I start with the negatives, I have to say that this app is really useful. It gives accurate information about sunset, blue and gold hour, as well as a useful light meter for photographers. Despite this, it hasn’t been updated in awhile and it doesn’t work with iOS 13 dark mode and iOS 14 widgets. The AR mode is also broken, which really is a bummer. If you are ok with the fact that this app might never get another update, go for it. If not, spend your money on another app that has been updated to take advantage of your iPhone.

Notifications?

I used to be notified when Holden hour came and now it won’t let me and I don’t know why, help. :(

Love the app, just one request.

I love everything about the app and regularly use it to plan ahead or even day of for shoots. My only request would be if it’s possible to select a specific date for the map feature without having to hold the scroll bar. When planning for weddings or other similar shoots it’s helpful to know ahead of time where the sun will be throughout the day ahead of time when working with a set timeline.

Sometimes good. Always good
