Easy to use, VR/point-phone-at-it based, and includes today and the winter and summer solstice sun paths. It superimposes the sun's position over your camera's picture display of whatever you point it, so very simple to use and interpret.
Won't work with a Samsung s21. At the bottom of the screen it says 'no position '. There is a sort of compass horizontally across the screen with red text and a white background. It does not relate to anything though.
Fantastic for planning our garden placement! Especially in Texas where the sun is intense, the Sunshine Compass helps us pick the best spots for our raised beds and pots.
Absolutely exceptional. I've been house hunting and I am very focused on light exposure. This app has made it possible for me to fully figure out where in the house we will or won't get sun light
I got it to work last night but it was around half 12 and didn't fancy facing the wind and rain in the dark. this morning it just doesn't seem to work it does was it was doing on the tablet
Lean and works as well as can be expected (for phone AR). Ads are not intrusive and the permissions make sense. So far so good -- am happy with it, nice job
Nice, wish it was a little less sensitive, makes it hard to read as it constantly adjusts.
Not very accurate. The compass on my phone shows sunset at 223 deg while this app shows it at 240 degrees.
Stupid app. Unusable. Kept moving when I move my phone would not sit still. Compass didn't work.. Might as well been on the moon.
Excellent app for setting up a solar array. You can easily visualize the tree shadowing by seeing the sun superimposed on the panorama.
Doesn't work. And there's no setting where one can recalibrate.
Its in the home section but you need the paid version for checking the any day function, e.g, if buying real estate.
BE SURE TO CALIBRATE COMPASS FIRST... Great for positioning solar ground mount PV array and determining which trees may need to be cut.
Really good app! Helps a lot when looking for real estate.
If it had a camera button 5 stars Trying to use 2 buttons on my smartphone to save a picture creates too much movement
seemed to be way off! I could see the sun and the app said it should be in a very different position.
off by 20 degrees no matter how I calibrate my phone. my wife's phone shows same thing!!
Love the true view through camera, aligning where the sun will be at the exact time
it is very useful, accuracy at its greatest, no issue
Fast to the point for placing landscape plants
Nice app but not enough data No data from Almanac GHA LHA Dec Azimuth Elevation Geoghraphical Position Angle of Sun from pole and also all data related to the bodies from Almanac
Great app. Well designed. Simple to use. Exactly what I was looking for.
Simply does what you expect it to and does it well.
Does not work! Junk software!
Excellent and simple to use
Was looking for a widget that showed the sun transit time, sifted through tonnes of apps on Play Store, but only this has that feature. Only peeve, cannot tap on the widget to open the app, even in the new updated version, how sucky is that! Hence the 3 stars .. otherwise, works just great.
