I’ve been using this for many, many years, but it just doesn’t work anymore. I was hoping for a bug fix that just never came. If I reinstall the app it works once, and then never again. Rather a pain to have to reinstall every time I want to use it. I assume the developer totally gave up on it. Time to finally move onto something new that works.
I’ve never had an issue with its performance.
This app is extremely useful when planning a garden. We also used it to find the perfect location to build a deck that would be in shade at a certain time a day. What we would also like to see is a shadow calculator. By entering a height of an obstacle, it would tell you how long the shadow would be at a certain time. Example: a 6 foot pole could give you 1 foot of shadow at noon & 8 feet later in the evening.
I’ve had so many people ask how I plan sun and moon events. This is my secret weapon. I use it for planning sun angle for television commercial productions as well.
Where is it?
This is an excellent app to analyze a site for a solar array setup. Very easy to use. The app overlays the sun's track on a photo using your phone's camera, with data from any day in the year. You can then clearly see if trees are going to block the sun, and how that will change from spring to fall (or winter!). I’m a long time (30+ years) solar user and this app has helped me clearly understand my property vs the sun's track. Highly recommend!!
If you align the Sun for your position (by using shadow orientation, like a sundial shadow, not the Sun itself) you can get pretty precise pole star azimuth. I can get repeatable measurement of plus or minus 2 degrees. The app is very well made.
Hi. I have used light for about a year. Upgraded and love it. Use for solar panel placements. Setting up camera for sunrise pics. Getting the family excited about events like the blood moon coming up. Showing the kids the movement and the axis’s.
I’ve been using the lite version reliably for a while now and I just decided to upgrade to the full version to check out the AR augmented reality feature. I’m actually that glad I did. The app just works, it’s responsive as it move it around and doesn’t crash. I especially like the time machine feature that lets you scroll through a whole year with a swipe, so you can see the difference between summer and winter in a glance. Street view was a pleasant surprise...it showed me that the sun rose right at the end of my street today, making it “streethenge” for me. That’s what prompted me to write this review. TLDR: it’s fun to use and it works well and the pro version is really really useful.
This is an incredibly powerful tool for a landscape or travel photographer. Beautifully designed, wealth of information on the day and night sky, perfect for planning a trip or shoot as well as live field use. Superb tutorials. Well worth every penny, and much more. You’ll never leave home without it, once you get it, if you are a landscape or travel photographer. Essential addition to your smart phone or tablet. Thanks to Hudson Henry of ON1 photography for mentioning this in his Plus tutorials on the ON1 website, which is how I learned about this app.
