Sun Scout App Reviews

40 add

not accurate at all

i tried it and blew my sunrise and sunset shot completely, waste of money

Love its simplicity, want more

I love the on-screen overlay, GREAT for identifying sun obstructions throughout the day! Great app, and I find it invaluable for setting up a days shoot. However, I am confounded by not being able to enter a date manually. It only provides Today and fixed timeframes in the future like Next Week, Next Month, etc.

Needs Polish

Im a photographer, and I hope this comes in hand. Should be able to select any date of the year and any location. Currently limited to North, South Pole, and current location. Also lacks the polish thatd you expect from a $10 app. Id pay $3.99 for this app. Got 3 stars for being over priced for the feature set.

Needs More Features for the Price

Its great at what it does, but its a one trick pony. Id like to see the ability to enter in a date manually. Also, it should indicate the Golden Hour, not just say where the sun will be when.

WOW!

Ive had every sort of system for doing what this app does and Ive checked its accuracy against those methods, this is the real deal.

Video Production MUST HAVE!

Wow! A photographer friend showed me the app and I had to get it. This is such a great tool. I go on site at a new location and need to know when and where the sun will be. Now I do, no guessing! Which I usually messed up. Well worth the price! Awesome App!

Horrifically Overpriced And Limited

For $9.99 this app is severely over priced for the extremely limited functionality it offers. You cannot check specific dates. It only offers today and then its own selections; next month, next week etc. Very poor. Also the locations selection is a joke. It will either allow current location, or, get this; north pole, south pole and the equator! Okay! Next time I find myself at the South Pole I will whip out my iPhone and be glad I spent 10 bucks on such a useless app.

Doesnt do much, but does it well

This app really only has one function. To show you where the sun is, or is going to be. I havent had to use it much, but it works well when i do. I will agree its a bit pricy for its limited function, but if you need to track the sun you cant go wrong

Neat but needs work

Works nice but has too many shortcomings for what it costs. Other apps do similar. NEEDS the option to enter any date/time I want and enter locations other than useless north or south pole. Adding the moon should also happen As is its too expensive.

OS 9 killed it

This app has been a great help in the past but after updating my iPhone to 6s from my old 5 , the app will not work . Should I delete it & reinstall? Will I be charged again?

Outdated … No Longer Works

This app was fine but no longer works in OS9. There is no support nor any way to get in touch with the developer to know if an update is coming or if it has been discontinued.

Death by iOS 9

Great app in iOS 8. iOS 9 makes the sun just spin and never stop and tell you where it actually is. I hope it gets fixed!!

Loved this app until iOS 9 killed it

Too bad it isnt getting updated any longer...

Please please fix for ios9

This was one of the greatest photo apps around. Please fix so it works with iOS9.

Does not work

iPhone 6splus on iOS 9 and it doesnt work at all. Should be pulled from the App Store.. Wish I could give it zero stars. Waste of $10

Stopped working

Expensive app that the maker has neglected with new iOS updates. Feeling ripped off.

Death by OS9

This app was outstanding in all respects on my old iPhone 5. Since that phone died and I switched to a 6, the app is a complete joke. Nothing about it works; time to throw it away. Sad-- this app kept us from making some costly mistakes on video and photo shoots back in the days when it worked. Can anyone recommend an alternative?

Was useful, now broken

Please make it compatible with iPhone 6s. So many complaints, no visible feedback.

Was perfect, but now...

Now, suddenly A piece of useless crap. Displays the sun at your feet,Obviously a quirk but renders this APP completely useless. Was recently completely embarrassed at a wedding as I "whipped out my handy app"... Yeah/not so much....Time to hunt for another and spread the word about this one

Seems to be working now on iOS 9 and iPhone 6S

So excited to have this working again. Its the easiest app Ive found for scouting for future date and sun location. Great for time lapse sunrise and sunset, but also excellent for scouting filming locations and impact of sun for time of day.
