SUNSEEKER

Sunshine

Very useful for Garden survey of sun location . Calculating north wall shadow very useful feature.

Wonderful App / like the Sun it keeps giving.

No matter what view you use it in, it is a fantastic application and now with a synopsis available on my notification screen of the Suns elevation and rise/setting times, it is a treat to have. Also great for professionals in real estate and architecture or those looking to purchase a new home or premises. Thank you for making a wonderful application.

This is the one app I cannot exist without! Perfect for informing passive solar architecture, sculpturing gardens or enjoying it in 5000yr old solar orientated structures like Newgrange - no architect or archaeologist should be without it

Superb App!

The best in it's class. I've looked at many other sun apps and nothing else comes close for quality and range of features.

Very Nice

This app is great. Takes a little time to understand the elevation features but love seeing the changes as you change the date.

James

Was great on the iPhone 4. Now on the 4s it can't seem to get a lock on the sun which flips around the sky. I need to know where the sun will be for my job - and I need accuracy. I can't use this anymore which is a shame. I had 2 copies of sunseeker giving me two entirely different sun positions yesterday (20 degrees difference). Unfortunately unreliable. Back to the old fashioned compass and inclinometer for me.
