Ratings and reviews

Just tested the free version of the app. It runs smoothly I love the design and all the different options you can display. The only thing that annoys me is that for checking different dates you need the pro version and for that (of course) you have to make a subscription. Why do I need a subscription for every single app?? I would be up for paying one time 10-20 bugs if it's a nice app, but I am definitely not paying a subscription...

£30 gives you nothing but a -£30 from your bank account. Better download SunPosition it is free and does the same thing. This one has 0 benefit for photographers other than showing shadow cast from the sun. Poorly made app not as advertised.

awesome, I use it every time I go looking at houses lately, and also when we do photo shoots to plan where the sun will be. solid people behind the company that want to have positive impact too
