What our users say
As an amateur photographer, I highly recommend this app to anyone getting into photography. The built-in light meter is excellent and comes in handy.
🇺🇸 ShidWit
I've started focusing my photography on night and low-light images. This has come in handy for me to know when to setup and all that. Well worth it.
🇨🇦 Loki The Slyone
I really like the gorgeous, clean design, and it's super helpful for pinpointing exactly when the golden and blue hours are going to happen, no matter where I am. It makes planning my outdoor shots simple.
🇺🇸 AliZZoro
Die App ist echt praktisch wenn man gerne in der goldenen Stunde fotografieren will. Mit dem neuen Update sieht man sogar die Sonnenstrahlen auf der Karte sodass man dazu passende Straßen finden kann. Echt genial umgesetzt!
🇦🇹 Leberkasbepi
It has all you could need: AR sun and moon trails, a light meter, and an animated map where you can see where the sun and the moon will rise and set. I totally love this app. It's awesome!
🇪🇸 Matti2425
Impressively great tool. The notification settings are really precise, the AR view shows only what you need, and even the light meter is helpful.
🇷🇺 Anolrey
One of the most useful apps for knowing where the sun will be at any moment during the day. With Augmented Reality you can even see it visually. A must-have for anyone involved in photography.

Tells you when the blue hour and golden hours are, both morning and night. Very useful for being home in time to catch the sun setting over our mountain views.
