This app is fabulous. i'm not really a photographer but i spend loads of time outdoors. It shows you where the sun will be in rrelation to your position. also has compass so it moves with you in real time. i like it
Very good for demo purposes, but not very practical as the main elements of the app are locked in "lite" mode. The upgraded version must be super!
Why are people complaining??? hell, it shows me where the sun is and the compass is right on point, and gives you a lot of information to when the sun comes up/down all of it. quit complaining and be grateful that the developer gave a something for free. when I get enough money, ill buy the full version soon.
I'm a professional gardener and landscape photographer. I use this application on a regular basis for planning. I go right to it find what I need and carry on.
This app is awesome. I've just found that an app like this exists and worked perfect!!! The app gave me the information i wanted immidiately. The 3d compass presentation is awesome!!!
Compass calibration page shows correct directions after calibration, but the main page is off by 20ish degrees. What's wrong?
Using to design some garden bed spacing. The tools are just what I needed and it works perfectly!
what a brilliant app. used it to locate the best place to sunbathe on holiday. so accurate its untrue. definitely one of the best apps I've got. 👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩
This is exactly what I was looking for, my only issue with it is that it locks below the horizontal. I would like to be able to look up directly where the sun will be.
Everything's great about the app, but why does it say that when the sun rises and sets it moves from -0.3⁰ above the horizon straight to -1.1⁰?
Won't let me use my camera to check sun path. It's very useless. There is better apps and they are free
This is a wonderful app. Anyone disagreeing should look again at his/her own capacity to use it. Hats off to Adam Ratana for developing it.
Upgraded version is too much expensive.
Great app, very useful. Big thanks to developer.
I can't install the app. It says it is already installed but is definitely not!
It does exactly what I needed it to do.
Already paid, now I evidently have to upgrade again? Nope.
Free version is a waste of time
Good app But can i download sun path with shadow report?
This may be the best thing ever
Fun to use
This apps is owsome
It does show both, Blue and Golden hours [and elevation +1★]. However most of it's features are locked, which requires the purchase of the very "OUTDATED" Jan 2020 paid version. Until there's an update I will stay with the Lite version and highly recommend others do the same... $8 is a lot, on a possible unsupported app.
