Note

Amazing for production planning

Amazing visualization tool for planning film/photo productions. There are generally no predictions that can be counted on. The 3d view with date entry is as close as it comes.

v6.7

The new Apple Watch app and widget are great

Doesn’t match reality

Sun is in a totally different location to reality. Checked and double checked all settings and it’s still out a laughable distance…

Perfect

As a solar panel surveyor this app is used daily. It makes my job so much easier and often allows me to show my customers the sun path to help them understand my panel designs for their properties. Only gripe I have is the button or touch target for the camera while in 3D view needs to be bigger as I often end up bringing up the share sheet instead and as I’m usually hanging off a ladder while doing this is a pain lol.

Used this app for years, excellent clear no-nonsense

Fantastic app for working out where the sun is going to be directly. Very handy when house hunting!

Great app

Accurate, and the ability to see where the sun will be st different times of the year, not just live, is great.

Incredibly handy

I've used this app to plan tent pitching spots, gardening and landscaping projects, to figure out the best times to skate at certain spots (either needing the light or ducking the heat) as well as interior design/furniture layout decision making. Any time you might want to know where the sun will be that day, another day and at both solstices, it's incredibly helpful.

Very useful

A necessary tool for a photographer

I use this app to plan the architectural shoots according to sun direction . Well Worth the investment.

Excellent and useful app.

Have both Sun and Moon Seeker and find them very useful. I enjoy photography, especially sunset and sunrises as well as astro photography so with this app I’m able to work out exactly where the sun or moon will be at anywhere and anytime in the country ! Excellent.
