Wonderful help for planning my garden and allotment in the winter months, identifying places that will get full sun and partial shade during the growing season, and selecting the varieties of vegetables and flowers accordingly. Very useful in the summer months to know when it will be light enough to do the watering and cool enough to move. I like photography and I try to stick to the 'golden hour' for walks so I get the perfect light if a a scene presents itself. Great app.

Just started using it. I'm finding the best location for a solar panel array. The app can show the path of the sun at its highest point in the summer and at its lowest point in the winter and the path currently - at the same time! All overlayed on your phone's camera display - beautiful! There's tons of interesting data and lots more the app can do that I haven't explored but, it has been great for my needs already - love it!

Nice and clear interface. The only problem I see is that the sun/moon path not stable at all. For instance, I can point the camera to the sun and the predicted current position aligns right with the actual sun position, but if I rotate my phone say 40-50 degrees to the right, the calculated path moves almost rigidly, moving the estimated sun's position and trajectory several "hours" off the actual. This is quite a major problem, it defeats the whole point of augmented reality
