Outstanding application
As a photographer and a weather enthusiast, I love this app. I set notifications for golden hour, sunset, sunrise, etc.
Description
Sun Seeker is a comprehensive solar tracking & compass app. It shows the sun’s hourly direction intervals, its equinoxes, winter & summer solstice paths, sunrise & sunset times, twilight times, shadowed periods, UV Index, solar irradiance, golden and blue hours & more. The app allows you to add sun-event notifications & has a widget and watch app showing the day’s solar data & position on an arc. The 3D View shows the solar direction for each sunlight hour. Sun Seeker has both a flat compass view & a 3D Augmented Reality (AR) view to show the solar position & path.

▶ Cinematographers- enables you to find the solar exposure, directions, shadow, sunrise & sunset times for any location.
▶ Real Estate Buyers- can use the app before buying a property to check the sun's path & to find the solar exposure of properties.
▶ Drivers - Sun Seeker lets you track the sun path & movement during the days & helps drivers know the sun position to find how long the car will remain in the shade at any given parking spot.
▶ Campers & Picnickers- for anyone planning a day out, this app will help in finding where to camp, sit or pitch an umbrella depending on the sunlight & sun direction.
▶ Gardeners- Sun Seeker can also help with finding optimal planting locations & seasonal sunlight hours as a sunrise calendar
▶ Architects & Surveyors- for visualising the spatial variability of the solar angle throughout the year & using the compass app as a sun surveyor & calendar to determine the sunlight directions.

FAQs
* See https://bit.ly/2FIPJq2 - also easily accessible from the app's info screen
Note
* The compass accuracy depends on having an undistorted magnetic field around your device. If you use it close to metallic objects or electrical equipment, directional accuracy may be impaired. The device’s compass accuracy can be optimised by calibrating it prior to use. See app’s FAQs for more help.

Sun Seeker Reviews
Always spot on
I’ve relied on Sun Seeker for years, first as a director of photography in the film industry and now as as amateur photographer to give me accurate real time and predictive information to plan for and deal with shoots. As an amateur photographer it helps me be in the right place at the right time to get the shot I want.
Does what it does perfectly
While this app isn’t full of all sorts of bells and whistles, it does what it says on the box and it does so perfectly. Working in several fields I have found this a particularly useful tool for solar planning. It’d be fun to toss in things like moon paths and phases, but what would really make the app more useful in the field would be taking more offline—preloading maps and other info for sites with no available signal. That’s no complaint, though, just constructive feedback—I give this app 5/5.
Great App
If for what ever reason you need to track the sun and know what the natural light is going to look like at anytime, this is the app for you.
This app is great but I hate it when the rating just pops up
Please stop having the rating function pop up when I am in the middle of using the app. Otherwise, great app.
Best app ever.
I am a photographer and I cannot live without this amazing app. Outstanding.
It’s ok
I originally purchased this app to help me with gardening around my home. Aside from seeing more or less where the sun is hitting my home at a particular time, I was hoping the app would have been a bit more detailed. The aerial view of my home is quite far and I would really love it if the app could zoom in more around actual structures and show the position of the sun throughout different times of the year.
Awesome for Garden Planning
Being able to know how many hours light and the direction light is greatly useful in planning my garden, and ensuring I site different plants well.
Indispensable
Really great film tool for finding the suns path when you're at a new location, and makes planning for golden hour a breeze.
Great app
I’ve been using this app for quite some time, and it has furnished me with some valuable information about the sun.
