About this app

Our application is used to determine the position of sun and moon anywhere in the world, and help you determine the time of sunrise and sunset, twilight, the duration of the day, moon phase and much more.

With this program you can predict the best time (golden and blue hours) for taking pictures of landscapes, nature, and any other outdoors shooting. Both professional photographers and beginners prefer to shoot during the golden hours since it’s easier to work with, and this application helps you identify this time. The golden hour occurs just after sunrise and before sunset, when the sun is low on the horizon, creating that signature warm glow. The blue hour arrives shortly before sunrise and after sunset, when the sun’s position just below the horizon produces those cooler tones.

When someone choosing a home, it is important to know where the sun will be at different times of the day and year, and when different parts of the house or garden will be light or shaded. This application shows the solar path projection for different times of the day and throughout the year, so that you can see when the sun will shine on different parts of the property and when it will be obstructed by nearby objects causing shade.

Also, the program will be useful to calculate the days and hours of maximum activity of animals and fish, depending on the position of the sun and moon in the sky (the time when the moon is in the upper and lower points of its orbit with respect to the observer's position, as well as when the moon is midway between the upper and lower points - see. John Alden Knight - "Solunar theory").

Ratings and reviews

I like everything about the layout and organuzation of data. However, the % moon phase is significantly off from what is reported by ither sources. This is perhaps because it lists %illumination, which is indeed useful, rather than the portion of disk visible, but in that case it should list both. The date of the new moon is also 2 days off, for aug 2019 anyway, and the date of the sept full moon is 1 day off.

Idea is nice, but the translation to one of the supported languages is half-assed at best (half words translated literally, half not translated at all), and even after changing the language in settings, it actually changes only when I turn on night mode. When I switch back to day mode, the language switches back to English. Definitely not worth it.

I've been using and enjoying app for 2 years. Layout and details are easy to find and read. QUESTION - Recent update the notification pop up changed time to 24 hour display rather than preferred 12 hour format. Can you make it so that the user under notification setting make the choice of time type display. I would SO appreciate that.
