Note

Lovely app - Celsius, please!

Steen on

Love this app and use it almost daily. Living in Europe, one thing I miss is the option to show temperature in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

Fantastisk app til skyggemålinger

J. Fabricius on

Perfekt til at kontrollere skyggevinkler, solens positioner, solop- og nedgange m. m. Helt lokalt.

Fantastisk

Dajamanten on

Meget omfattende app, som viser solens position, solopgang, solnedgang, golden hour, samt skumring, på vilkårlige dage/tidspunkter. Uundværlig hvis du skal købe hus, planlægge fotografering m.v. eller bare interesserer dig for solen. Med tabeller, kort og augmentet reality.

Specialiseret app. som er meget god i sin klasse.

Kasse on

God app. som viser solens position ethvert sted i verden på et valgt tidspunkt. Brugerfladen er let at forstå og grafikken pæn. Præcisionen er god, efter at have testet app’en i praksis. Hvis du skal købe ny ejendom er appen uundværlig til at se hvor lys boligen er.

A useful photo app

Green Ocean on

I use this app for landscape photography, and it’s great for finding the right time of year and day to get the right direction of sunlight in your shots. Also, you can easily store the gps coordinates for your favourite locations once you’re in the field. These are the main reasons why I find the app useful. Additionally, with the AR feature, you can use the camera to see the position of the sun and its path on the sky, letting you know the sun height at any given time while you’re in the field. This way you can see when the sun will descend below a group of mountains, how long time you can preserve shadow at a location you use for shooting portraits etc etc. If similar informations were available without having to go to the actual location, I would give the app five stars. It would be very useful if you’re considering a shoot far from where you live. The user interface is ok but may take a bit of practice getting used to.

Works
