United StatesSunrise time not working
No good
United StatesGreat tool
Far better and easier to read than the tool I was using as a professional architectural photography. I love the colors to separate the information. Being able to change the date is a must for me. The 3-D imagery when moving your phone from level to upright is fantastic - it helps people who don’t grasp the path of the sun relative to the earth. I’m so glad to have found this - nice work!
United StatesSun off by more than 10 degrees
This app is very nice, except for the fsct that the sun is reading more than 10 degrees to the left than where it actually is in the sky. Other astronomy apps I use give the correct azimuth reading. There is no way the sun can be at solar noon at azimuth 163 degrees. It always is at 180, unless the app takes into consideration your street’s orientation from true north??? Not worth buying the full version until this can get resolved, if another app update wver gets pushed out, that is...
United StatesVery simple to use / great info and graphics
Easy install and really no set up. Great for figuring out the sun path over your house during different times of the year for landscaping planning.
United StatesThe compass is always off
Every time I open I have to recalibrate and it doesn’t matter how many times I do the figure 8 it just doesn’t want to point north where north is. It basically makes it useless to me (and I am not near any magnets!)
United StatesLegit so far.
As a photographer shooting outdoors, I just need to know when the sun is coming up and going down. This does that cleanly and simply. 👌🏽
