Helios Pro

It impossible to use this app… totally disappointed

It is unusefull app! I need to recalibrate three four times before sun path will right. It can not help me in my job because sometimes I scouting at night or in cloudy weather. In this case recognize the app’s mistakes is not clear. I use it in iPhone 11 three months.

I’ve tried using this app on several occasions and it’s always a struggle to get it to recognize where I am and what time it is. Painfully frustrating.

I get the startup screen 30 seconds later it crashes. Restarted my phone…. Same thing

On every location scout the sun is always in some random place. Calibration hardly if ever seems reliable. If this takes a lot of effort to troubleshoot I think it’s simply not worth it. Concept and design are all good and helpful, but in reality it’s not useable

I just paid for the app and is not working, I want my money back. **Update** I restart my phone and didn’t work, but I erased the app and re-installed and is working perfect.

Ever since I wasted my money on this app, it’s been broken. The live view has never been accurate, even with trying to calibrate. And sometimes you are trying to see where the sun will be in a few weeks, so calibrating to the sun is worse than useless. I’ve just gone back to using my free app that works much better. Dumb that you can’t get refunds on apps.

*update* Spoke with developers and understand the hardware limitations associated with this issue. I appreciate they seem to be doing all they can with every hardware release. Hopefully they keep pushing it forward. I’ve also done further comparisons and have realized sunseeker uses a few tricks to disguise their inaccuracies as well so the difference isn’t quite as severely as originally suspected. However I still continue to find sunseeker to be more accurate without user calibration. Big fan of the app and UI, but my main use for this app is live view and the app falls down there compared to its main rival “Sun seeker.” If I line up the sun and calibrate that way, I tend to get solid results but if I select use the compass I find the results to be significantly off. I’ve tested this in many environments over two phones (currently 11 Pro) and come away with consistently poor results. I find Sun seekers results to be much more reliable. I’m not sure how they calibrate vs the compass calibration Helios uses, but whatever they are doing I wish Helios would adapt. I’d much prefer to use this app only. Will keep testing, would love to hear the developers thoughts- no way they haven’t tested vs sun seeker internally...

Needs no more description. Pre scouting locations on otherside of the world with it. Absurd.

There should be an blank between “Helios” and “Pro” when it is shown under the icon. Please fix this bug.
