## Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon) Reviews in United States

### ***** "Absolutely a must!"
Was very well worth the very small cost for the exact data you’re looking for!
-- snakerep pat h, 2025-01-07

### ***** "Great app!"
This is a very useful and well-made app, which is well worth the small cost. My only complaint is that you cannot scroll past the end of the year in the sunrise and sunset times listing.
-- WoodyB303, 2024-12-23

### ***** "Incredible app"
This app is my favorite when I travel, I can see exactly where the sunsets will take place, at what time and any date. It will help you to book the most amazing restaurants at the right time and the right location for unforgettable experience. 5 stars well deserved
-- llambrano, 2024-11-30

### ***-- "Widget constantly says “no GPS.”"
I have location permissions set to always allow, but the widget will say “no GPS” unless I manually open the app to refresh it.
-- Quentin Biles, 2024-10-09

### ***** "Simple and intuitive use, great quick reference"
I teach at Parsons School of Design and use this tool with students. It provide simple and intuitive data for understanding solar geometry in relation to time of day, season and geographic location. This aids students (or practitioners) how to respond with a corresponding design intervention to celebrate direct solar contact or to shade. I find the 3D compass the most helpful tool but have also taken advantage of the “Live View” when on a project site understand seasonal solar conditions and taking screen shots for my documentation. 

If you work with daylight design or are simply curious about solar and lunar relationships, this is a worthy purchase.
-- DP in NY, 2024-08-22

### ***** "The Best!"
You have arrived. 
Look no further. 
If you’re trying to guess where that fiery ball will rise and set along with Mr. Moon, you have the answer right there in your hands. 
I use this app for business and pleasure. It is so spot on in detail it has saved me thousands of dollars in overtime waiting for the sun to be in the perfect position for filming. 
I highly recommend SunSurveyor. Customer support is superb.
-- peterkeenan, 2024-08-10

### ***** "Perfect way of keeping track of seasons"
Convenient
-- Jorg.Janke, 2024-07-31

### ***** "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.
-- KapnKrunch, 2024-06-05

### ***-- "Not as good as android version"
Why no milky way core tracking like android?
-- roo8282, 2024-04-15

### ***** "geoff"
Great app. use it all the time and highly recommend it.
-- tokean, 2024-03-29
