Sun Scout App Reviews

Its very easy to use and works perfect! Thank you, it was exactly what I was looking for.

This app works well, but ive two suggestionen: i would appreciate a photo function and the opportunity to set my elevation at horizon! Your App presupposes that youre @ Sea level while using

one last feature please… instead of me taking a clumsy screenshot ad the option of taking a shot including the path of the sun and the corresponding times. For clients to see when the sun is where and what the landscape, building and so on looks like a fantastic service… thanks

I am in the solar business. I use this app for quickly determining if large objects are going to block the sun at any given time of year when Im selecting a location for an array. I can pick a spot and sight over a treeline or obstacle while setting for different months of the year and make sure I will never have a shadow touch the array. It’s simple and quick. Great app!

I would give this app 5 stars if: - I could select exact geographical region via google maps - I could select exact date instead of being limited to the 15th of each month - there was numerical information regarding the angle of the sun and compass direction. Another great idea would be a favourites log to save ideal lighting conditions for specific areas. And perhaps an alert/alarm to remind you when ideal times approach.

A specific application of augmented reality that works really, really well. Super smooth, fast and very useful if you want to know where the sun will be coming from at any given time. You can point your iPhone anywhere and see exactly where the sun will be, and even see where it will be at different times of the year. Ive been using this for apartment hunting (to see where the sun will come in during the course of the day), and its surprisingly accurate and intuitive. This seems perfect for photographers, campers, or anyone who needs to chase or avoid the sun!!

Simple, but well executed app, congrats to the developers. Tested it at the beach today for umbrella placement and it was very accurate.

Could use more features like taking snapshots with notes and the ability to see all days in the future, present and past.

I could have really used this two days ago, but it insisted the sun was nowhere near the bright glowing object in the sky. It eventually got close enough to take an amusing screenshot showing a very wrong track. Google maps and another GPS app had me located perfectly, BTW, so it wasnt GPS error, just a bad app.

I am a gardener and knowing where sun and shade is a tricky business. The concept and interface of this app is great, but the accuracy needs lots of work.

Potentially a very useful app, but needs improvement. "Time line" seems to be consistently about 1:30 earlier than actual time. Sun postions on screen do not coincide with actual sun position at a given time. And yes, I did calibrate before using the app.

Just point your camera in the direction indicated by the big arrow. The rest explains itself. This should win a gajillion awards for usability and simplicity. I love it!!!!

this app has come in handy more then once this week alone. While working on a feature film called "fairhaven" the gaffer and i ( key Grip) needed to find out where and when the sun would be for a scene .... well after i pulled out my Sun scout app. everyone started downloading it !!! It is well worth it

Worked fine on one film production - slightly off sometimes but still helpful. Now, it always says it has interference, and then crashes my phone.

As a camera man in TV, this became an incredibly useful app for me. However, now every time I open it, it just freezes and I have to force a shut down of my phone. Very frustrating.

Ive wanted this app for 17 years. Thank you.

Author has been extremely dedicated to fixing issues. The sun alignment is fixed and is as accurate as the iPhone compass can get. (I would not base a lone hike in the deep woods with the only iPhone compass to guide me :-) ) If you had issues with accuracy in prior releases, please re-download. It should be working fine now! But its a great app and does exactly what I need. I look forward to using it today to estimate where the sun will be for photos. Would love to see an addition to show moon position as well in a future release. Other apps keep them as a separate app. Thanks

Ive never written a review for an app but I just had to for Sun Scout. Its a absolute must have for a photographer. Works great!

I am a professional photographer. Just download today and tried it. Seems to work pretty good. Wish the time of day numbers were displayed bigger. hard to read, especially in bright light. That said, I think it will be very useful and seems acurate enough for my needs.

There are no instructions how to use this app - waste of time & money Walk away fast from this joke !
