About Sun Position

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).

- Plan a photography shoot - know in advance exactly when and where sunrise and sunset will be
- Viewing a potential new home? Use this app to find out when you'll get sun in your kitchen.
- Planning a new garden? Find out which areas will be the most sunny, and which areas are likely to be in shade throughout the day
- Getting solar panels? Check whether nearby obstructions will be a problem.

For more information on the data included in Sun Position see our blog post:

Great layout when the app is opened but when widget is on home screen it just remains blank after restarting my phone... Not sure why this happens....

I'm starting a farm, and it's proven its weight in gold by allowing me to see where the sun we'll be at any point in the year. Its ability to superimpose the terrain in the background is extremely useful, especially when you have hills that obstruct the sun at various points during the day, and when the sun is at different heights throughout the year. I really like this app.

Only thing is, why give a map view if when you move the map the circle doesnt move with it and recalculate where you land?

At new Nexus 5X app grid is 5x5, and widget size is smaller then at 4x4 grid. Last digit at sunset time is out of line at widget(((

I live in a semi rural area outside of Santa Fe, NM and enjoy using this app. I've found it accurate and the variety of ways to locate sun and moon positions provides broader and deeper understanding of our local 3D universe.

Works great for me (Nexus 5). Super useful when I'm camping so I can keep my tent in the shade, and also for setting up films/photographs.

Really like this app, but switching locations and looking at a future date is very cumbersome. For instance if you manually change the location the only way to set it back to the current location is from the data screen. Also trying to pick a specific date requires several taps to bring up the calendar view. It would be nice to have buttons that sets the current location and the current date from the map view, which is what I use primarily. Still the best app of its type on Android.

As an app is very useful, especially for a photographer/filmmaker. However I'm having issues on my newest purchase of LG. It says that my compass needs to be re-calibrated. I have run the instructions and the appropriate setting function and still doesn't work. Can you please help me? Thank you

When you rotate the map it should also rotate the sun position, so if I rotate the map it will show inaccurate data.
