Convenient

Fun and intuitive

While being fun and intuitive, this app is comprehensive and gives a great sense of our planet’s position in space and everything around us. The GUI is absolutely beautiful, and I use it for photography and just keeping more aware of our glorious universe. It is well worth the paid version. Absolutely no regrets.

Not as good as android version

I use this all the time to help people pick a good spot for a garden. Get used to the controls and you will love it.

So Many Uses!

Steven Haver on

United States

I use this app all the time and for so many things. Of course it’s great for photography planning, but I use it much more for trip planning. What time will the sun be setting in Rome when I’m there next year? Great, I’ll make dinner reservations for half an hour before that. How many hours of daylight will there be for that upcoming road trip? Or what’s the difference in day lengths between solstices in that part of the world?When and where exactly will the super moon come over the horizon into view? Easy peasy. I use Sun Surveyor every time I go camping to pick the spot with the best morning shade. Or to find the best seats at an outdoor concert. Once you have the app, you will find dozens of uses for it. I use it so frequently it lives on the first page of my Home Screen. Excellent app. Enjoy!

Back to 5-Stars But Only bc users Can Get Rid of that Wretched Yellow Stripe

NOV2023 UPDATE Problem fixed! Yep, Back to 5-Stars But Only bc users Can Get Rid of that Wretched Yellow Stripe. If you hate that yellow stripe bc it obscures the terrain there *is* a way to get rid of it. Praise Ra! To shed that jaundice jinx go to Settings, then... "Advanced Settings" (Scroll down to) "GOOGLE MAP" (Then turn on Legacy Experience) "Always use flat (legacy) experience" It would've been nice if that "off button" was easier to find or mentioned when my review condemning that wretched yellow stripe was... acknowledged. FEB2023 UPDATE One of the recent updates added a yellow stripe that you can't get rid of. It gets in the way when you're trying to see what is South of your target area. There is no way to adjust its transparency. There is no way to toggle it off. Sometimes it takes me twice as long to analyze an area because of that wretched yellow blob. Unnecessarily time consuming. A very effective way to obstruct and annoy people trying to use the app. JAN 2020 UPDATE I received an email message from the developer. Which is information. The little panel on the right will go away if you swipe on the tab to the edge of the screen. ...and your Otterbox doesn’t get in the way, or make you hit the Compass icon which in turn rotates your map giving you virtual whiplash. I still love this app, but after getting rid of the panel I still want to adjust the size of the circle. Or maybe just lock the circle to a specific Size — like we can for location — on the landscape. Still a fantastic and very useful app! (Side Note: Unfortunately, I cannot give up the Otterbox until Apple comes out of their gilded offices long enough to make a less fragile/better quality product.) ORIGINAL REVIEW I love this app and I use it often. However, it needs one minor tweak to make it 5-Star perfect. The circle detailing the sun’s path is always partially hidden behind the panel on the right side of the screen. If this panel were at the top or bottom of the screen, or if we could adjust the circle size, we would have the “complete picture.” ...and a 5-Star app.
