Sun surveyor

Wish to make the version free

Sunrise time not working

No good

Sun off by more than 10 degrees

This app is very nice, except for the fsct that the sun is reading more than 10 degrees to the left than where it actually is in the sky. Other astronomy apps I use give the correct azimuth reading. There is no way the sun can be at solar noon at azimuth 163 degrees. It always is at 180, unless the app takes into consideration your street’s orientation from true north??? Not worth buying the full version until this can get resolved, if another app update wver gets pushed out, that is...

Very simple to use / great info and graphics

Easy install and really no set up. Great for figuring out the sun path over your house during different times of the year for landscaping planning.

The compass is always off

Every time I open I have to recalibrate and it doesn’t matter how many times I do the figure 8 it just doesn’t want to point north where north is. It basically makes it useless to me (and I am not near any magnets!)

Legit so far.

As a photographer shooting outdoors, I just need to know when the sun is coming up and going down. This does that cleanly and simply. 👌🏽

Lite version totally unusable

Live, street, and map view needs upgrade to full version to function. Lite version only shows dots and general proximity of the sun in the entire city. Useless unless you upgrade, but you can’t be sure how the full version works so risk is there.

Why did this update stop working?

Good app made bad by the latest update. On both my iPod (current version) and my iPad (Air2) both say the update is not compatible with my device. Both are 128GB devices. 😐

Great for planning summer and fall gardens

I am planning a garden at my new house and this app is helping me figure where the sun will be next summer. Because I am in a shady area I need to have the right angles to have a chance.

Impressive

Clean UI, does exactly what it's supposed to do.
