I use this all the time It s very accurate and an amazing tool Best app on the market for what it does Markjohnsonii
This has been my best friend Thank you for making this Jajrood
I have used this app so many times it s not funny This app is spot on with what time the sun rises and sets in various locations It s option of using a satellite view of a potential location live view for a location at a later time and compass view are all amazing It gives blue hour for both am and pm plus sunrise and sunset moonrise and moon set and SOOO MUCH MORE Plus the app s predicted placement of the sun at specific times is SPOT ON ACCURATE It makes it so much easier to plan shoots when one knows where the sun is going to be I absolutely love this app and its 100 worth the money 100 worth the money PhotojournalistChicago
I like your app It is the bomb Love the Milky Way Been taking super long exposure photos thanks to you Love it Lisaatlast
An amazing tool for seeing exactly how the sun and moon traverse the sky throughout the year Fantastic Jim Lipsey
Better than what I was looking for The map and street view are great and worth the I m using for some amateur archaeology wanting to see what if lines align with a solstice etc Thanks from Charlottesville Virginia Great for archaeology idnkw
Please add Apple Watch support for this wonderful App it will be so helpful to add a complication of the App on one of the corners of the Apple Which face Please Apple Watch support Ma}{RaJa
IPhone 6 iOS 10 3 3 No moon in 3D compass or street view I originally wrote the prevoius but I found the moon data This really is very cool No Moon in 3D Compass My Mistake lady_foxx
Be carful about disabling the sun I mistakenly did that and my last review said it does not work well That was an error on my part So far Seems to work Flipnsteve
I was wanting to get sun coordinates at the time of the maximum of the august 21 eclipse and I could easily adjust the app for that date and time Really excellent capabilities in this app Excellent features Tx9753
Real nice Nice sandman1349
This is a very useful app I use it often Especially for photography Effective Frank and Dee
Very useful Good app Needs a ton of work
As a photographer its just what I was looking for Great app Monte Weathers
While most apps seem to just meet expeditions occasionally one exceeds expectations Sun Surveyor is one of those The more I use it the more useful it becomes One of the joys of Sun Surveyor is finding new elements items that provide insight to improve my photography With a little imagination and experimentation the basis of good photography Sun Surveyor is becoming an ever more important shot planning tool More than expected Coongeo
I purchased two similarly priced apps over the last 6 months and I m regretful that this one didn t show up in my search results either time There are numerous reasons why this stands high above the others but as there isn t enough time nor space for an explanation of each one I ll give you the best one Integrated google maps street view It s all I wanted in my past underwhelming app purchases and of course the one thing I didn t get Now instead of having to figure out how to show a generated computer mock up of the sun or moon on any given location s horizon in order to know if the next mountain over will be blocking their respective rises or sets I can just so long as there s a google street view available from google maps I just look at a 360 panorama with the trajectories overlayed It s truly a wondrous majestic and unparalleled experience I m in awe of the power in mine own two hands Again there are more examples as to what separates this guy from the rest but I ve got a moon rise to plan and there s no time for me to kick down all you need to know Check that I already did kick it down as there s nothing else needing to be said what with the google maps integration automatically putting this app in the carpool lane while the others sit tight in bumper to bumper traffic back there on the 405 See ya sucka s Best in Show BallsBuccigrass
Learned about this app from a photography class Free version is great paid version is definitely worth it too I rarely pay for apps but am glad I got this one Great way to track sun moon movements which you grow to appreciate Highly recommended Amazing app to get lost in Usee3429
Invaluable for scouting locations for photo and video shoots Great tool Pluto64
This is an updated review originally reviewing March 5th 2014 It s now June 2017 and I am still using this app Like other reviewers it occasionally needs to be recalibrated but the app is fantastic If you want an app that tells you all the info about the sun s location scouting it before arriving and getting an idea where you want to set up this is the app for you It will let you save favorite locations if you re planning a vacation for nature shots Gives you sun moon rise and set Twilight golden hour blue hour It really has everything you need in one app I used to have multiple apps to get all of that information however this one has it all It is well worth the money especially since the developers are frequently updating it for fixes and new features languages I have no connection to the developers other than the fact that I purchased this app over 3 years ago and I am still using it through a couple of different phones and iPads Best sun moon app for photographers WonderFlea
Incredible that s all Awesome rootsmusic
Great tool Superior tech support Great photography tool Rick Dhi
This is a GREAT app constant updates to improve the app and great support Good clean layout and look yet simple to use Loads of features packed into a app of this price If you are a photographer or just traveling this app is the 1st one you HAVE to buy Great great great the best one out there Use it everyday and I had a few other ones in the past Will never look back Support the developer worth every cent a MUST have Joe Louw
Lots of good information for landscape photography Sometimes gets out of calibration so double check this before setting up if using this for direction Good app kramerica1
As a professional photographer I always need to know where the sun will be for both outdoor and indoor locations With this app I know exactly when I need to be on location to set up and be ready for the right light it s saved my bacon more than once in previous versions and I imagine the new and improved version will do more of the same Great Application for my business Telephotonc
I love this app I hate getting a cheap app that does not work right or is inaccurate That is not the case with this one Amazing app Accurate useful GiveMeLib
If you are a photographer or just traveling this app is the 1st one you HAVE to buy Great great great the best one out there Use it everyday and I had a few other ones in the past Will never look back Support the developer worth every cent a MUST have
I rarely write reviews but this app really deserves its 5 star rating It has more features than I expected and they all work great I love the blue hour time designations I love seeing the sun or moon path in augmented reality view it makes me feel like I am living in the future Every photographer I show it to is impressed by its magical abilities It is one of those apps that really uses an iPhone or iPad to its full potential Just get it it is a steal at any price The best photo utility app ever
Dont know what others are saying that this app doesnt open on IOS 82 It does it would be so much better on the larger screens smart phones I like the better perspective achieved in understanding the sun and moon relationship to the area that your working in Plus like the sending of the data via email Smart touch Works fine on a 5s and IOS 82
Just love using this app Helping me understand window and skylights for a mountain home Very awesome
I am an astronomy and physics teacher and certainly recommend this app for anyone teaching these subjects Augmented Reality View is an incredible part of the apps functionality Example One of the major projects my students do in Astronomy is a 4 month photographic study of the motion of the sun to better understand celestial dynamics Sun Surveyor has proved indispensable for my students as they select a location for their photosa location they must be assured will give them clear access to the setting sun over that 4 month period The developer has created a truly special app in Sun Surveyor BRAVO Pure unadulterated GENIUS
Already planning a sunrise over a bridge shot this Sunday morning thanks to this app and know that it will be next year before the moon will be perfect for another location I may have to settle for other than a full moon Will put this to a lot of use
Yep would have been better to have this 15 years ago just saying Rock n roll JR Would have been better
Rarely do you see a great program upgraded and it stays great This update is beyond great its amazing All the new integrated tools are perfect everything works and makes my job easier I think Im in love Amazing
Wont even open using new iPhone system 82 software Doesnt work with system 8 software update
The app has exactly what Im looking for sunrisesunset sun path and many other optionsThe interface is really nice and easy to navigate Ill be doing a shoot next week so Ill come back and rereview it after Ive used it on set So far so good
This app is very helpful at setting up photo shoots or planning your lightening for photos Best sun app for photographers
On the iPad Air all I need for pointofview calculations plus loss of extra good stuff thrown in Also excellent interface Extraordinary
Im disappointed Site worked when first loadeddoesnt work well nowMap cannot move elevations will not function and dont know what to expectHELP TO MAKE MATTERS WORSEI CANNOT EVEN SEND THIS NOTE EFFECTIVELY just another frustrated user
I love the Google street view feature but overall this is just a best in class app Best Sun app on the market
Very cool I wont use it all that often but Im glad I have it and it was well worth the money for the functionality it provides Very cool app
Every major motion picture crew has the app out during the location scouts and shooting days Great tool to use on set Big Thankyou On set
I use it all the time for video work Tracked all the super moons this year Cameras pointed at exact location and time of sunsetsmoon rise Must have for videofilmphotography User friendly and yet Powerful tool
Cant imagine working without this powerful tool The best
I bought the full version after a short demo of the free version The added features do not disappoint In fact they are more indepth than expected Initially purchased as more of a learning tool to visualize the suns position throughout the day and year Ive come to find this to be an essential tool for my casual photography Not only will it help position and orient you for the time and place where you currently are but the overlay of the sun and moon info on Google street view is genius A few interface quirks which the very friendly responsive developer assured me were being improved upon The rest of the app far outweighs any minor drawbacks or interface design clunkiness If the free app engaged you or this app seems like it might be up your alley trust me it will surpass your expectations Well worth the price for the functionality it offers The 20 app update really improves and enhances this alreadygreat app Awesome sun and moon visualization tool
Keeps getting better too Great App
Everything a photographer needs and more I highly recommend it for everyone Perfect
Well done Works very well and has extra features such as distance measurements 3d compass and mapping and use of the camera within sunmoon plotting Very good app and easy to use Excellent app
Lets you figure out exactly what the sunshine conditions are like as you evaluate a property Excellent for house hunting
Ive been using this app for several years and its been a life saver Amazing app
This is one of the most useful apps Ive found I use it frequently for a variety of purposes from garden planning to real estate showings It is highly functional and flawlessly stable and above all easy to use Most Useful
Love it Track down sunrise sunset golden time and the blue light time Best time to go out track down sun altitude for walk hiking fishing and photography Give you five star Its worth it Awesome
This s is a number one tool for solar site surveys Love the upgrades to the app Solar installer must have tool
This is a top notch app Im a nerd farmer I love it Easy interface Great visualization I use it to find out which trees are blocking light on my greenhouse and am using it to orient buildings for passive solar gain Perfect
Works as advertised in realtime as opposed to another app I had that did screen redraws upon any slider movement I work outside for a living and sun position Solar Noon times are important to me Very detailed graphs information I love it Highly recommended You cant go wrong Awesome
It works great on iPhone 4s Yeah Works great on 4s Thanks
Great AP for evaluating sun exposure when planning a garden or designing the layout of a farm Farm design tool
All the new features on this app are amazing All the daily information about the sunmoon including azimuths and twilight times make it perfect for photographyaviation etc I love looking at the movement of the sun and moon throughout the seasons and this app definitely gives me the information I want Many thanks for a fun useful and smooth experience Highly recommend Fantastic Updated Version
Very convenient way to figure out where the sun is Good app
I have been using this app for several years and now the latest comprehensive update has brought it from being a good app to being a truly fantastic app Due to the layout and information contained therein I have deleted three apps from my iPhone and iPad that I previously used to fill in the gaps and are no longer necessary Congratulations good job Congratulations
This is the way data was meant to be visualized Quite impressive
I know this isnt supposed to be a precision app and their honest about that but as a photographer it falls short for being really useful Id love to be able to stand in a spot by a window and predict when the sun will shine through at the needed angle but the lack of precision of this app has made that difficult I have yet to see the AR position of the sun line up with the real sun even live I wish when this happened I could grab the virtual sun and drag it over the real sun to recalibrate it for that session and get a more accurate prediction for another day Handyish
I use it all the time Two things could improve it greatly A sun calibrator like Helios has and a screen capture that would go into the photo library The best available
Super Advanced shoot planning app Not sure what I would do without it The other review that says it doesnt work needs to update their review That was when iOS was in beta What works in beta Apple core apps were even having through with beta Amazing app here Buy right away Works Great on iOS 7
Version 20 made an already fantastic app even better A musthave app for any serious photographer Great Update
This an an excellent tool for any architects toolbox highly recommended Fantastic Tool for Architects
As a professional photographer I always need to know where the sun will be for both outdoor and indoor locations With this app I know exactly when I need to be on location to set up and be ready for the right light its saved my bacon more than once in previous versions and I imagine the new and improved version will do more of the same Great Application for my business
I love this app Great
I use this app on every project I shoot that involve exteriors or prominent windows The ability to show the arc of the sun over your surroundings is invaluable and once youre used to it its hard to imagine shooting without it Super Useful
I dont know why this app does not have more reviews Im sure its a technically niche subject but the applications are vast It is well worth the higher than average cost for the information and presentation it provides I was looking for a sunmoon product to provide me with a flight planning tool for very specialized nightNVG mission planning and this BLEW ME AWAY I can only hope that the developer continues to support this app well into the future Amazing job Thanks Adam If youre thinking about buyingDO IT
I know its expensive but this app is really worth the money if you are a professional photographer The level of detail and viewing options is astounding Very well thought out and not too complicated Worth it
Using AR view the sun is significantly off by half an inch on my iPhone 6 screen Wish there was a way to tell app where sun really is in order to predict future location Seen it done on another app where you tap where sun really is to reposition location Make that upgrade and is give it 5 stars Sun location is always just off
I love it Ania
This app is the best Use it for shoots all the time You want to know where the sun is going to be at any given time You whip this out Invaluable when youre scouting Invaluable
Camping and want an afternoon nap in the shade Going to an outdoor concert and want to pick a good seat Planning photography or sungazing and want sunrise sunset and golden hour information Whatever your needs this app is just what youre looking foror more likely its the app you had no idea you were missing Love this app Love this app
This app is phenomenal for what it does I work outside a lot and its great for scheduling jobs I can determine when the area that Im going to work in is going to be in the shade This app is the best of all of the daylightsun apps out there Well worth the price Excellent app
