Exsate Golden Hour
Free without Ads! Made with photographers for photographers.
Helps for better planning, to calculate an appropriate shooting date and time to build a composition using the sun, moon, stars, daylight, night, season and weather conditions at any date-time and latitude-longitude point all over the world.
Key features:
- Can work offline without internet connection
- Sun or Moon ephemeris for any date
- Golden and Blue Hours calculator
- Civil, Nautical and Astronomical Twilight calculator
- Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset calculator
- Sun and Moon ephemerides calculator (altitude and azimuth)
- Moon phase calculator: New Moon, Full Moon, Crescent Moon, etc.
Exsate Golden Hour calculates more complex conditions, for example:
- The best time to shoot start and deep sky objects
- Crescent or Full moon at blue hour
- Date of sunset or sunrise at given azimuth
- Allows you to construct your own condition: Crescent Moon low above the Horizon in the West at Blue Hour for example!
All of the listed above the program represents for you in three easy to understand ways: as a summary table, as a diagram and renders on the Google Maps.
Thank you and gorgeous shots!

This used to be the best app going for predicting stunning sunsets and sunrises, I'm not sure if they've recently changed their astronomical/weather source or algorithm but it now misses the ball every time, it's been like this for over 9 months. I understand predicting weather patterns is a very hard thing to do but it seems like features like the 'expressive sky' should maybe discontinued when this inaccurate.
Really love this application super helpful for finding good environments in which to shoot photos. The only thing that I'm rating it poorly on is that I cannot upgrade to Pro! Every time I attempt to do so it says item not found on the Play Store. Please figure this out guys I want to use additional Weather Services!
I love this app, it's the only one that have function I need - moon and sun rising graphic. But now I need to look more than 1 year ahead, and cannot do it, bc you need to buy premium for that and I cannot do that also - page just downloading endlessly.
Sure the app hasn't been updated for quite some time, but it's still one of my go to tools along with some others whenever I go travel or go on a photography trip. Still works great for its intended purpose.
Personally, i found this app reasonably easy to use, at first you have to have a bit of a browse around the app to find out where everything is but after the initial first use; it's quite simple. I would love to find a way to receive notifications for times such as glden hour (if possible) :)
Last year it worked completely fine but since a few months the time of the sunset or rise won't change. Even if I change the date...
Not working with weather which the company tried to make pro version. It's been 3 yrs with no updates.
Used to be my go to app. Buy it now says "build for older androids" if they updated the app I'm sure it would be good again. Till then I have to find a replacement.
The best Golden Hour I have used to date. Keep up the good work!
Great app with a lot of tools for scouting and taking interesting pictures.
literally the best free app that would be beneficial for astro photography. kudos
I will five stars if you add pro version to play store so I can get rid of annoying pop up message
I love it but need to update it since its having issues at time with my new android
Wonderful little app has a lot of Handy tools in it
Perfect for sussing out astrophotography
very helpfull for photography enthusiast
This was a cool free app, but now the essential features I had used like changing the date and zooming in and out on the diagram have been disabled. Maybe in the paid Pro version, idk, but others have said they cannot upgrade to Pro anyway. An interesting and useful app for me has become useless. Too bad.
