This app is proving extremely useful in positioning solar panels. The shadow setting means you can see the effect of trees or structures around your installation and position them for maximum efficiency. I would like to have the ability to import photos (eg. Aerial shots from a drone) as both google and Apple Maps have shadows that reflect the time the satellite image was taken and somewhat restrict the view of the shadow line.
This app is exceptional and it’s exactly what I’m looking for + more. Its not often I come across an app that’s review worthy in my books, but this ticks every box. It’s got fantastic home widgets too! Best of all, its not an ongoing subscription which is refreshing. Overall a great addition to the photography toolkit.
Absolutely, paid for itself within two minutes of downloading. Ability to analyze a sun path on a location in another state… and schedule a shoot accordingly. Thanks so much to the developers. Heard about this through word of mouth in the film industry.
Of lots of Sun and moon trackers for photography this one is the best. Simple to use and clear. All the stuff you need but not the stuff you don’t.
As an architect I have found this app extremely useful. I can very quickly assess the potential shadows that might get cast by buildings for any site. It would be great if one day you could turn on 3D buildings and topography in city centres and observe their shadows. For an architect and urban designer such a tool can greatly inform placement of buildings.
When I go into info panel to drag and re order, there is no way I can drag and order on my iphone. No problem on my iPad. ?!
Sun Surveyor has been a reliable staple of my photography toolkit over the years after trying many alternatives, and has what I think is the nicest UI of them all. The developer keeps the app patched and updated and it has all the features that you need for planning almost any kind of shoot. I cannot recommend it enough!
This is just the very is a great app to find the position of the Sun ( and Moon ) when planning a Photo-Shoot. I compared it to TPE and PhotoPills amongst and SunSurveyor just beats those hands down. Besides of that Adam Ratana , the developer keeps on improving and is most helpful when needed. About a year ago I suggested some interface improvements which he bettered. I am a professional photographer and depend heavily on planning photo shoots ahead. This application saved me on first use a surveying trip of around 150 Km. I could do all at home with all the tools in the app. Now know I have to be there at 6.30 AM and can not leave before 6.30 PM …. thanks Adam I have to bring lunch in a box ;-) In comparison with other cheap apps it seems like a hefty price tag of 8.99 , but this sinks to below nothing once working with it, or as I said saving me a 150 Km. trip the day I bought and installed it. Fully recommended by a very experience professional photographer --- are 40 Years working all types camera on most continents of our great blue Planet enough to state this ? ;-) To give an example: I am planning a shoot to have the moon behind our National Telescope, in the very rough and undulating terrain an absolute challenge to find the perfect spot at about 15+ km distance. The error in angle of camera position / angle of view (1200 mm ) can result as you can imagine in a couple of ‘Moon widths’ off the target. Combine that with the near impossible terrain and you can imagine how narrow my margin is. Thanks to Sun Surveyor I found the near perfect spot. ... Near perfect because a rocky dip in the terrain (not visible on Google satellite in the app) forced me to move some 100 meters to the left. But the image was still very much within my visualisation! So impressed by the accuracy of the app. The user interface beats TPE a fair bit and PhotoPills by miles. PhotoPills makes a huge fuss about how good they are, all I can suggest try out Sun Surveyor and judge for yourself who is the real winner. Marvellous piece of computer programming , very very well done ! Actually I am totally amazed how a human being can develop something like this and that I at my not to young age can hold it in my hands, it somehow feels very futuristic to me but is reality today. Its a pity Sun Surveyor flies so low under the radar of self promotion. It deserves more - should be a Apple staff pick for sure !! THANKS Adam !!
Using this to plan and design. Very well thought out. Easily worth the investment. Also spend the time and review all the options...
What's happened? The previous version was better with this version you can't see the summer and winter equinox and where they pass over in real time not as good as the first version
