Awesome photo app. I use it all the time.
Very comprehensive features. Works great.
The coolest app I have. It let's me know where the sun is going to be. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so a lot of the times, this app is the only time I can see the sun. Seriously though, this is really a handy and fascinating app: I found the sunniest spot for my garden, and the best area for a photograph of the moon.
Great tool to tell where you sun, moon, and milky way will be.
Love this app. So much information for planning my photo and video shoots
Nicely made app! But it bought it to perhaps create horizon files for use with PV-Software. I'd like to be able to log the heading and azimuth of objects like the LOG function in the IOS-App "Theodolite". At the moment I'd have to create a ton of Screenshots from all the points i'd like to log and then create the file manually. Would it be possible to add a feature like this? I'm sure this would help a lot of PV-planners :) thank you!
Curious about astronomical alignments in my home town. Able to take photographs with all details included. Not possible with any other compass tool.
The coolest app I've seen in a long time!
Superb little app!
Very useful application
