About this app

Will your plants get the right amount of sunlight??

Stop Guessing!

Sun And Shade Analyzer (SASHA) is an app which quickly analyzes a location and tells you the average hours of direct sunlight it will get, taking into consideration shading foliage, buildings, etc.

SASHA helps the you to scan sun’s path across the sky by means of on-screen augmented reality indicators. During this scan, images are captured of any obstructions which would block direct sun light from reaching your device. SASHAanalyzes these images, superimposing the sun’s paths, and determines whether or not any of these obstructions would block direct sunlight from reaching your device.

You are then presented with the average number of hours of direct sunlight that would strike your location during the chosen date range. By default, the date range used is the local growing season based on your GPS location; however, you can set any value from 2 days to a year.

Save time, save money! SASHA will quickly repay you with thriving plants and reduced frustration!

"Wonderful app, nothing else like it after an extensive search." Mike G.

Ratings and reviews

It's disappointing that this app did not correctly do the one thing it was supposed to do. After my site was analyzed, the actual sun was considerably way out outside the two red lines that show the range of where the sun moves throughout the season. I gave it another attempt, and again, inaccurate results. I wanted to contact the developer regarding this, rather than first leaving a review, but I am not finding the developer's contact information anywhere. Hopefully, they can correct this.

The app works well, whilst being simple and straightforward to use. Our weather station is recharged by solar power, but was only getting intermittent charging due to lots of trees around our yard and we needed to resite it. The app made this a breeze. We ended up easily finding the optimum place to site the weather station to get the maximum amount of sun. The SASHA app already does the key things it needs to very well, and will only get better.

I'm super excited about using the app! Does it have to be a sunny day to work correctly? It was in the instruction video. But I just tried it on a cloudy day and it said 0.0 hours of sun. I assumed it worked by taking photos of the objects in the way of the sun path, but maybe it works based on the brightness meter in the phones camera? I'm not mad at all, I suspect this is user error, but so far "inaccurate" results. (Except that obviously on a cloudy day the spot was getting no sun).
