Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon) Positive Reviews

So Many Uses!I use this app all the time and for so many things. Of course it’s great for photography planning, but I use it much more for trip planning. What time will the sun be setting in Rome when I’m there next year? Great, I’ll make dinner reservations for half an hour before that. How many hours of daylight will there be for that upcoming road trip? Or what’s the difference in day lengths between solstices in that part of the world?When and where exactly will the super moon come over the horizon into view? Easy peasy. I use Sun Surveyor every time I go camping to pick the spot with the best morning shade. Or to find the best seats at an outdoor concert. Once you have the app, you will find dozens of uses for it. I use it so frequently it lives on the first page of my Home Screen. Excellent app. Enjoy!.Steven HaverVersion: 2.8.3

Amazing sun trackerI mainly purchased this years ago for helping me visualize sun and moon paths, as well as occasional photography help. The astounding level of information and tool packed into this app have exceeded my needs and expectations, and it continues to improve over the years with regular free updates. Photographers will find this to be an essential tool, and I assume many others as well. But if like me, you're just a nerd looking to orient yourself to the motions of the solar system, this app excels at that too. The best thing about this app is the multiple perspectives it offers— first-person perspective with celestial bodies overlaid on the live camera; the "astronaut's-view" 3D compass; and for a remote-viewing experience, the Street View perspective. There is an astounding level of data about the sun and moon at your fingertips as well. But I mainly like the visualization tools. I can't imagine anything else you'd need in a sun tracker app, and would guess you'll find stuff included you didn't even know you'd want..GcoghillVersion: 2.4.12

100% worth the money!!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!!!!!.PhotojournalistChicagoVersion: 2.4.7

Incredibly useful, thoughtfully designed app!Honestly, I didn’t think that I would use it as often as I do. It’s useful for so many applications! Photography, planning walking routes, planning activities to do at certain dates and locations, and a lis goes on… The app is super insightful and rich with information. It’s designed well enough for someone newly introduced to it to be able to yield some value from it. Nevertheless, I encourage ones to invest a little bit of time to fully yield all of the value it can bring to you..Gori20Version: 2.7.1

Awesome ToolThis tool has just about everything you could ask for. Use it to plan ahead for photo/video shoots, know exactly how much time you’ll have for light, and know exactly when the moon will be in just the right spot over your nighttime subject. It even tells you when/where the Milky Way will rise and when to get the clearest shot. I love using it while planting my garden. Now I know how many hours of sun each area will get on any given day of the year. Only thing I could see them adding is a constellation overlay. That would blow me away..4))fuydv)&&Version: 2.5.4

Amazing!!I almost never buy apps but I can’t believe Sun Surveyor only cost me $10. It’s accurate, educational, beautiful and fun to use. Not only that but the brilliant video tutorials are accessible right from the menu in the app itself. The free version gave me all the functionality I actually need, but the app is so gorgeous and fascinating that I only played with it for a few minutes before upgrading. I’ve been using iPhones for many years and can say unequivocally that this is the best app I’ve ever used!!!.Gimme privacyVersion: 2.8.2

Best App Out There!As a filmmaker and now solar panel capturer, this app is invaluable when it comes to tracking the sun! It is sooo accurate it’s unbelievable! Like right now I’m catching the sun coming up over my house to capture the most sunlight I can get. Using this app I was able to design my sun platform for optimum position! Also I have contacted support a few times and they have answered! You can’t go wrong with this app! Bravo!.MagicHourVersion: 2.6.5

Perfect Tool for PhotographersI’ve never written a review for an app before, but this one deserves one! I am an outdoor light portrait photographer. This app is incredible for judging the best time of day for my sessions, especially when they are at a new location. I love that you can drop in the specific address and see exactly where the sun sets & the location of the sun. Incredible!.ButerflieblueVersion: 2.7

Amazing for landscape designI’ve used this app for years when creating landscape designs. It’s extremely handy for in the field with live view to assess light conditions, or with map view from the office for getting a good idea of light conditions and shadows from existing trees. It’s incredibly impressive how accurate and useful it is. Worth every penny.THejficnVersion: 2.8.2

Perfect for landscaping and solar panelsYou can see the sun’s path over an entire year by enabling the Solstices view. Then from any spot you can see how long it’ll be in the sun or shade in each season. This is very useful for planning landscaping and solar panels. The developer also responded quickly to a question I sent via email..SomeCompletelyRandomGuyVersion: 2.7.1

One of my all-time favorite apps, for sureI downloaded Sun Surveyor about a year ago, and it was the easiest and quickest ten usd I've ever spent. (I'm quite stingy with my spending) Worth every cent. The application is orderly, organized, visually appealing, user friendly, the whole sha~bang. 10/10 !¡ Je Vous Remercie I am writing this review to request an update or fix to the widget apparatus. I presently have the Sun/Moon rise:set feature on my homescreen, but it does not display any information. Just the words "no permission" atop. I looked up if there were any ways to fix this and was not able to find any helpful solutions. So here I am..6862377Version: 2.7.1

Great Solar Panel Array Survey ToolI use this app to site solar panel arrays. A great tool to find the best sun exposure on a property so that the array won’t be shaded and rob power output . It also shows me where trees might need to be removed or topped to get full power harvesting during prime hours on either side of solar noon. I use the photos to guide arborists on where to cut the shading trees. It’s amazingly precise for this kind of work..BradMattoleVersion: 2.6.2

Indispensable for the serious photographerBrilliantly programmed and logically presented. Photography is about light, and this app provides all the information needed to plan where and when the light for a shot will be optimal. The tech support is outstanding. It paid for itself the first time that I used it..A disgruntled professorVersion: 2.8.2

Most helpful app I’ve purchasedI purchased this app A few years to help me plan my photo shoots of interiors. I could see in advance where the light would be later in the day thru the windows and know which rooms to shoot at certain times. It just keeps getting better as time goes on. Thanks.Mwall7Version: 2.6.1

THE utility for outdoor creativesThis app is truly a staple when it comes to sunshine preparedness! As a filmmaker I use this app to save face when shooting outdoors in a location im not familiar with. You are able to input any location and it will bring the ability to see everything in a live view. Lookout golden hour, here we come!!!!.Senior DondeVersion: 2.5.4

Such a great appI’ve purchased this app long ago and have been using it for scouting photography locations and learning about our solar system. I’m amazed at the features built into this app. I can spend hours looking through this app’s window to our world. Awesome work by this developer..SweetSolitude98Version: 2.5.4

Not working for Astronomy “history”It works very well when reconstructing the shadow angle of independence hall at 15:22 in movie National treasure 2004. However the app does not work for eclipses in the 16th century. I checked two real astronomy events but the sun moon alignments are wrong in this app. I knew the app is not for historians but it is a pity when you can specify the dates up to centuries ago. You should only keep 21th century..TaipeizinVersion: 2.5.3

Excellent AppIdeal for solar power surveys, home buyers, arborist, farmers, sunbathers, the list is long. If you want to know and then see where the sun or moon will be on any day, at any location and time this app is what you need. Like to see it export to my google calendar some ephemeris dates. You love the sun and sky this app you should buy..SoftwallVersion: 2.4.12

Excellent appOne of my favorite photography related apps. Well worth the subscription for a professional photographer/videographer/drone pilot. It packs so much information into such a small screen without it being confusing or overwhelming. Well done!.Ase reviewVersion: 2.8

Good but I’ve notice the live view isn’t accurateThis app is very helpful but only thing I have to say is the pictures show the moon and sun on the point but right now it isn’t for me any that’s pretty critical when planning for shots. Please help me out with that. I was hoping paying $10 from the lite version I’d have all great features.Young Q A689E5A335Version: 2.6.5

The highest quality app I have ever usedIt amazes me how much functionality is built into this app. It's intuitive, useful, and always works. Even though the app is for a fairly specialized application, it's the single beat app I have ever used..Tagger9Version: 2.7.2

So many uses.Great app! Used this to determine position of solar panels and skylights up in the Pacific Northwest- very useful for determining winter and summer sun angles. I’ve also found it great for nature photography; knowing the phase of the moon and where it’s going to be for long exposure setups, it even shows where Milky Way will be..This steak is goodVersion: 2.5.3

No Brainer for photographersThe app is just an amazing tool for getting great sunset and sunrise pics. The map and live view tools are the best and make determining the best position, place, and time so easy. Also lots of data on golden time and blue time really useful for time lapse. Really great value and amazing app..YamanoteVersion: 2.6.2

Still the best program!Again many years later….Awesome support with this app. Hands down the best. Thanks for keeping this going over the years!.OOffWVersion: 2.8.2

Great app for photography & videographyThe latest version of this app let me add events such as full moon at sunset or sunrise into my calendar, set alarms and specify other entries. All entries are in local times at the locations I plan to shoot. Such entries in my calendar allow me to plan my shoots with high efficiency. Yes, its graphics help me visualize the lighting conditions and select my positions to take beautiful pictures. My day job sends me to locations around the world. This app is wonderful in helping enjoy my photography hobby. Great app..AZBeaubatonVersion: 2.6.1

Amazing AppPurchased for planning local sunset/moonrise photos. That capability alone surpassed my expectations. I was just reviewing photo opportunities for a quick over night trip and discovered even more information in this app: The ability to enter remote locations and extensive information on Sun, Moon, Milky Way and other celestial events. Only took me two+ years to discover that this tool is even better than I thought! I love this app!.WestTex02Version: 2.8.2

Very well doneThis app is put together very well and has many useful (and fun) features. If you think this app will beneficial for you, I recommend you get it. You won’t be disappointed!.WxbossVersion: 2.6.1

Brilliant appI’d give this 6 stars if were possible. So many terrific features and tools. It is worth watching the very helpful videos to discover all it can do. Also full marks to Adam for his quick support..Stephen2060Version: 2.5

Amazing App! I only have one requestThis app is simply amazing, and makes it so much more convenient to find all the data I could possibly want! However, I have only one request. This request is to add the time of Lunar Noon (the Moon’s highest point of the day) to the Ephemeris of the Moon..TheOneBruhVersion: 2.5.3

Solar panel locatorI’m using this app for locating Solar panels on my property and making allowances for shadows. For this application, the app is absolutely awesome. A must for anyone doing this kind of projects. Well designed and feature packed..Sparky277480Version: 2.7.1

SIX StarsWe need special ratings for apps like these. This is so robust and broad in what it does, and it does it so easily, so much good information, and it’s so useful in different ways for different needs, well, six stars!.MacFriendlyVersion: 2.5

Great for archaeologyBetter 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!.IdnkwVersion: 2.4.6

Best photographer outdoor lighting logistics planner I’ve foundIt’s feature rich with loots of information about sun/moon and light conditions and orientation throughout the day which is incredibly handy for preparing for photography/film production shoots.83 nickname attemptsVersion: 2.6.2

Needs Apple Watch appWould be a lot more complete if there was an Apple Watch companion app so we can have a complication with golden hour or whatever else we want for the local area..Prophotog10000Version: 2.7.2

An impressive helper in all things astronomicalI started with locating ideal garden locations for new fruit tree plantings, using AR view. Now it’s my reference for longitude & latitude determinations and sunrise & sunset timings at all times of year. Truly a wonderful app..J WinterlightVersion: 2.5.4

Farming and gardeningI use this all the time to help people pick a good spot for a garden. Get used to the controls and you will love it..BillyTheDudeVersion: 2.8.3

OutstandingI am a drone photographer/videographer, and I use this app when I am planning the right time of day to shoot a particular subject. It’s accurate and fun to use!.JCAlabamaVersion: 2.6.2

Good for ecological designI use this app when considering solar influences of permaculture designs. I love it..Preserving EarthVersion: 2.8.4

Wonderfully UsefulI’ve never had an issue with its performance..OfaringVersion: 2.7.2

Great AppThis app is extremely useful when planning a garden. We also used it to find the perfect location to build a deck that would be in shade at a certain time a day. What we would also like to see is a shadow calculator. By entering a height of an obstacle, it would tell you how long the shadow would be at a certain time. Example: a 6 foot pole could give you 1 foot of shadow at noon & 8 feet later in the evening..Allioop-24Version: 2.7.1

Love this appI’ve had so many people ask how I plan sun and moon events. This is my secret weapon. I use it for planning sun angle for television commercial productions as well..Javajack1Version: 2.6.6

Superb Solar site analyzerThis is an excellent app to analyze a site for a solar array setup. Very easy to use. The app overlays the sun's track on a photo using your phone's camera, with data from any day in the year. You can then clearly see if trees are going to block the sun, and how that will change from spring to fall (or winter!). I’m a long time (30+ years) solar user and this app has helped me clearly understand my property vs the sun's track. Highly recommend!!.The Pilot49Version: 2.6.5

WidgetWhere is it?.JcgrerVersion: 2.6.5

Way more precise than a compassIf you align the Sun for your position (by using shadow orientation, like a sundial shadow, not the Sun itself) you can get pretty precise pole star azimuth. I can get repeatable measurement of plus or minus 2 degrees. The app is very well made..Louisv28Version: 2.6.2

Great presentations for various views.Hi. I have used light for about a year. Upgraded and love it. Use for solar panel placements. Setting up camera for sunrise pics. Getting the family excited about events like the blood moon coming up. Showing the kids the movement and the axis’s..Bangbang234Version: 2.5.3

Glad I upgradedI’ve been using the lite version reliably for a while now and I just decided to upgrade to the full version to check out the AR augmented reality feature. I’m actually that glad I did. The app just works, it’s responsive as it move it around and doesn’t crash. I especially like the time machine feature that lets you scroll through a whole year with a swipe, so you can see the difference between summer and winter in a glance. Street view was a pleasant surprise...it showed me that the sun rose right at the end of my street today, making it “streethenge” for me. That’s what prompted me to write this review. TLDR: it’s fun to use and it works well and the pro version is really really useful..Hasta ManVersion: 2.5.2

Fantastic value for moneyThis is an incredibly powerful tool for a landscape or travel photographer. Beautifully designed, wealth of information on the day and night sky, perfect for planning a trip or shoot as well as live field use. Superb tutorials. Well worth every penny, and much more. You’ll never leave home without it, once you get it, if you are a landscape or travel photographer. Essential addition to your smart phone or tablet. Thanks to Hudson Henry of ON1 photography for mentioning this in his Plus tutorials on the ON1 website, which is how I learned about this app..AvoidThisAppVersion: 2.4.11

The best real estate appUpdated check out info panels it just made this app a 6stars..67thomas67Version: 2.4.7

Sun surveyorVery good tutorial to make this the easiest and most accurate of these type of apps..BingoboytoyVersion: 2.4.10

So goodI’ve had this app for a while now. It was pretty good. The last update made it super good. Works really well. Sometimes the phone needs to be recalibrated to make things accurate (seems much better with the new update) but I think that is more related to how the phone works than anything with the app. Such great info shown to see the suns track throughout a day and year. I use the augmented reality feature the most - I can see the camera’s view with lines on the picture that shows where the sun will be. Would be cool if I could take a panoramic photo to have one picture with all my solar lines that the app can show..Jubie lubeVersion: 2.3.5

Époustouflante !Je cherchais une façon plus « visuelle » pour installer un anémomètre. Une boussole est assez peu utile sur la toiture (où j'installe ma station météo) puisqu'elle ne fonctionne bien qu'au milieu d'un champs... Bien sûr, il y a plusieurs apps qui fournissent les positions du soleil et de la lune (éphémérides) et il y en a d'excellentes... mais celle-ci m'a permis de trouver des repaires au sol pour orienter l'anémomètre avec une précision plus que suffisante ! « Sun surveyor » permet de choisir le lieu, grâce à Google map, le jour (ou la nuit !) et l'heure précise afin, par exemple, d'utiliser la lune comme un repère (dans mon exemple, j'ai attendu que la lune soit précisément au sud pour orienter ma girouette - et on a même le choix entre le nord magnétique ou géographique !). Je n'ai pas trouvé d'autres mots qu'époustouflant ! J'ai longuement hésité, face au prix, puisqu'il n'y a pas de version démo (si elle existe, je ne l'ai pas trouvé !), mais j'ai déjà d'autres idées en tête maintenant que je sais qu'on peut utiliser « street view » avec les coordonnées terrestres et les orbites du soleil et de la lune....Alain GagnéVersion: 2.3.3

Excellent app; very accurate and usefulDoes everything they claim and does it all simply and without a fuss. I've used it many times to plan sunrise & sunset photography and it is always perfectly accurate. Cannot recommend it it more highly..Cityboy_caVersion: 2.0.1

It's worth it!!As a photographer who shoots out doors most of the time it's vital I understand when and where I will find the best light of the day to bask my clients in. I was really hesitant to drop 12 bucks on an app that I couldn't find any reviews on or preview at the time. I took a chance and have never looked back. I've tried a few other apps but Sun Surveyor is AWESOME. I spend most of my time in map and AR view. The street view function is by far my most used tool, just a shame Google hasn't street viewed as much of Korea as I would like. I just updated today and it looks like a MAJOR overhaul from the previous version. It even addressed some features I was going to request. The one thing I'd like to see is the ability to screen shot with an on screen button from any mode. I see it has been implemented in AR mode but I screen shot from map, street view and other modes all the time and it would be perfect if it was a touch away. Thanks for this superb app!.ComatosedVersion: 2.0.1

Everythin I hoped forSun Surveyor is an awesome tool - I highly recommend it.PaulOcularVersion: 2.0.1

Almost PerfectUPDATE July 2015 New ui is great. Nice improvement to the app. ORIGINAL Really cool app. Loaded with features and customization options. The main feature I like is the AR sky view that shows the path of the sun (and moon) against real objects in the sky. But there is also a map view, and even the option to Overlay sun and moon data on top of StreetView imagery. The only other app that I've found that provides some of these features is Sun Seeker, but this one totally blows it out of the water. No competition..ZcelVersion: 2.0

Really helpedReally helped us arrange plants in the spring for summer sun. We have a bunch of large trees that shade our property. This app let us determine areas that would be in full sun in the summer so we could put the right plants in different areas..ZakorVersion: 1.6.1

J'adoreAyant comme loisir la photographie, il est très utile de connaître l'heure du lever, du coucher du soleil et de la lune ainsi que leur position, de même que l'heure dorée et l'heure bleue. Tout simplement parfait !.MartYmageVersion: 1.6.1

Great appWorth all the money..HneedyVersion: 1.3.5

Useful app.I have several apps that help me with photography and videography but this is the one I keep coming back to. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in sunrises/sets and moonrises/sets. Very helpful to figure out lighting and super easy to use..CottonlineVersion: 1.3.5

Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon) Negative Reviews

So disappointed !!I bought this app a few months ago to use it for my studio project! The location I use is not the same as my current location!! Yesterday all of a sudden it started saying that there is no panorama available!!!! Right when I need to use the app for my presentation!!!! Does anybody know how I can fix this issue??! The street view in the app of my location was perfect and now I cannot view it anymore!!!!! So frustrating!!.So disapointed!Version: 2.5.4

Love this app…butI love this app. One feature that used to work, but lately hasn’t, is location searching. I copy/paste a location coordinates from google maps and normally it takes me to the spot. However lately, it just gives me a black screen. Please fix!.John DookieVersion: 2.7.1

Hasn’t worked for me in over a yearI’ve been using this for many, many years, but it just doesn’t work anymore. I was hoping for a bug fix that just never came. If I reinstall the app it works once, and then never again. Rather a pain to have to reinstall every time I want to use it. I assume the developer totally gave up on it. Time to finally move onto something new that works..Phantom_PowerVersion: 2.8.4

Why this is a negative reviewThis app opens with a blue screen with dialog that has no way to be turned off. In the other setting it turn green and is hard to see through... Please fix this. I do not give this any stars so disregard the star in the review. Only gave the star to be able to submit review!.Thomas WareVersion: 1.2.5
