Sun Position, Sunrise/set PRO

Stonekick

About this app

Sun Position shows you sunrise and sunset times, as well as the solar and lunar path on an augmented reality camera view for any day of the year at your current location. Its handy data screen also gives you other useful information including moon rise/set times, golden hour and twilight times, and moon phase information.

The app has a map view which plots the daily sun and moon path relative to your current location. It also contains a widget for your home screen showing sunrise/set times for the current day and your current location.

This is the full version of Sun Position. You can also download a free demo version which is limited to showing data for the current day (click on more apps by Stonekick to find this).

Ratings and reviews

I love this app, following the sun and comparing it with other latitudes; contrasting the extremes of sunrise and sunset at the solstice; seeing what the moon is up to; looking at the map. As a small boat sailor, it's good for planning ahead - what time will the sun be setting a month or so hence; will there be a moon if I don't make it in daylight. I'm a bit nerdy - it's great fun to use!

I'm using this to plan raised beds under an old-growth canopy. I like the sun path view, especially being able to specify a date range. Still trying to figure out what all the lines on the map view are useful for. The reason this is not 5 stars (yet) is because sun path view only works from "current location" & updating current location seems dependent on direct interaction w/Google maps initiated from map view; this is time consuming. It'd be nice to be able to specify a location in sun path.

This is a great tool. I initially got it to visualize sunrise and sunset paths for photography, but have since used it to site a small solar project. More recently, I have discovered the "locations" and "events" features, which is really helpful for planning out times based around celestial events for hunting. Feature request: figure out how to add events to Google Calendar or other ICS based calendars. Feature request 2: allow the setup of events that simply use current location, not a predetermined one.

This release includes new weekly and monthly options for event reminders. We have also improved the date and time pickers and made general updates to the user interface.
