Sun Locator Pro for Android
Perfect for my eclipse planning. Saved maps work offline. Nice interface.
[Update: 25 June 2017] I have rerated this app to 5 stars (from 3) as the issue with using Google Maps to select location is no longer occuring for me after todays update. Thank you to the devs for fixing the issue so promptly.
Great app, used it for planning my garden.
This app needs a lot of functionality work! It's a great concept that doesn't integrate well with the new Google maps. Additionally, in app functionality is very un-intuitive. It has a lot of promise, no less. Just tested it with my S6, it not working with it. It works "well" with my Galaxy 10.1-2014 tablet
Crashes on trying to change location thru 'use map ' feature.
Hi. Great app. I was looking for app to visualize shadows from a building under construction. I recommend adding possibility to add multiple dials of different height for simultaneous visualization of shadows because I have to check shadows for different buildings for different seasons a bit troublesome. There's some issue with dates when you scroll it it goes to 2016, 15 etc but doesn't go up. Decided to buy the app, hope my wishes will be integrated. Another issue when choosing height, if I scroll it works fine, but if I enter height with dialpad instead of scrolling, it takes arrange height instead of 3 meters. Have a look
Great app for estimating solar exposure. I was hoping the camera integration in the PRO version would allow me to take pictures of the view. But it doesn't. Will this feature be enabled soon? When evaluating a proposed location, the ability to snap a photo with the camera would be a great addition.
Great app, would be nice if you could somehow load off-line map data for those who travel. Looking forward to app updates, seems very responsive to others with suggestions.
Simple and efficient ! Was curious to see sun and moon positions in Chile. So found this great app working really good !
Grate app... it helps so much my research
Great and useful app. One short question for the developer: how can I choose a point on the map? When I tap on that choosing, GMap doesn't open itself. Please help me to set places which I'm interested for trip. Tks.
Automatically main screen appears again and again . Need to re input Sundial height again an again . Hence useless.
As a pro photographer this will help immensely in scheduling location shots. Now if only it could control the weather... :-)
I would like to request instead of providing a selection between Day and Time, why not make it as a toggle, it saves us a click. It is tedious if I switch back and forth. Thanks.
great 4 photography planning
This is a great and accurate app. No problems.
You want to know when you can get the perfect lighting of a place? Done. You want to take a picture of the sun over a certain building? Done. You want to know the best time for an outdoor wedding? Well it doesn't have weather forecasting :p If you are like me and your device has no gyroscope there is an xposed module called virtualsensor that will help with that..
Looked for an app like this for ages, super handy! Thanks! Can you add a feature so you can lock in the location, so when you zoom and turn the map it doesnt change where the pole is at?
Nice app for tracking the sun, works well. Especially handy if wanting to know where it will be at a certain time for planning a photo, etc. Recent update adds some useful features: Moon tracking and enhanced map views; coming along very nicely.
Easy to use and easy to navigate. All the info you need is accessible on one screen. Seeing the sun's position when using the camera is extremely helpful. It's snappy and fast and performs great on my Nexus 6. Looking forward to seeing what else this great Dev has in store for this App.
This is a great app for planning your daily sun worshipping activities. Be it for Mayan sacrifice rituals, getting that perfect shot for your upcoming sun worshipper magazine article or just for finding the best spot for Vitamin D accumulation! A must-have for every sun fanatic! 5 of 5, would sacrifice again!
The app works great and overlays the sun nicely if the time is set to the current time.
No check on availability of a compass when installing (and buying) on your device - so pretty useless for my intended purpose. Might well be a good app, but just this check probably would have saved me a lot of time finding out why the heck it didn't work.
The sun in the app perfectly overlays the sun in the sky during a daylight test.

App is very functional and useful but design is very outdated. If updated to material design 5 stars granted. Update: new design made 1 star more. Heading to perfection I would say
