PhotoPills App Reviews

Just getting into astrophotography and this app is awesome for planning my night in advance!

I thought because of the apps I already had and were already paid for I could make due without this one. In hindsight I was just punishing myself and making shooting harder and overly complex for the sake of a few bucks. There is no substitute for PhotoPills

The information provided by this app has been very useful for planning certain shoots. I use it regularly.

If it doesn’t do it, you don’t need it…

PhotoPills has been an invaluable tool throughout my photography journey. I highly recommend purchasing this app. If you can envision a photo you want to capture, PhotoPills will assist you in planning the necessary steps. For instance, if you’re aiming to photograph the moon directly behind the Statue of Liberty’s torch, PhotoPills can help you plan the shot. If you can conceive of it, PhotoPills will assist you in planning it.

Perfect app for the photographer who loves to travel.

It’s so easy to learn, and has great video tutorials. It’s amazing how much this app will help with your photography planning.

So, so valuable in your outdoor planning. I can't imagine being without it.

Absolutely essential for planning and shooting astrological photos

PhotoPills is the best money I’ve spent on any app. I can’t believe the value. I use it constantly and have learned to depend on it so much at this point I’d be lost without it.

The more I practice and the deeper I dive into the tutorials, the better prepared. I am for my Milky Way photo trips.

An amazingly powerful tool to view and photograph our sun, moon and galaxy. Do yourself a great favor by first watching “Photography Planning Masterclass with Photopills” video. Then it will all make sense.

Excellent source of information, how to articles. I’d be lost without this App for my astrophotography needs!! Thanks PhotoPills team.

Its worth the money!

This app is an invaluable tool for all photographers even though it’s primarily designed for astrophotographers. It’s easy to use and is loaded with useful info.

Wow!! I have learned so much to shoot he night sky from this app than from paying thousands of dollars to a single person. EVERYTHING that you need to understand is here. The tutorials are soo beautifully explained, you can never go wrong. And, if you don’t remember how you did it the first time, go watch the video again, it’s that simple. Great app!

Best app in category by light years!

Love using this app to plan my photoshoots!

I rate this app at 10 Stars because 5 is not enough. This is a must have app for photographers who explore the globe and the night sky. Raf and his team are my personal Einstein! Thanks everyone! Great job! Take the weekend off with pay!

Very useful for photo work

This app is amazing and the amount of information available continues to blow me away. There is so much to learn but I started simple and keep adding features. The science and technology in this app is second to none.

Simply incredible the amount of planning you can get done just with one app

You will never regret a single penny. Get it.

Planes with PhotoPills and everything worked as planned. Awesome app.

I am an avid Astro photographer and this app is an important part of my planning process. It allows me to plan my images, months in advance, anywhere in the world. Along with that planning tool comes support. Webinars, emails and tutorials have all helped me become a better photographer. It’s the best money I’ve spent for one of my photographic tools.

Love the design and application

The number of things this program will do is amazing. If it has any flaw, all of those tools, it can be a little daunting to learn. however, if you pick one function learn that, then pick a second function and so on, you will find it be one of the most useful apps on your phone.

So far this app has been great. One minor change for the Timelapse tool is to change it to delay between shots and the duration of the exposure instead of adding both in the tool. My intervalometer has the delay and exposure time separate which works great and it's intuitive. Also add to your list the best exposure time for Milky Way pictures based on your camera, lens, and f stop plus iso settings. Maybe it's there but did not see it since I'm a new user of the app.

Hands down best tool for photographers. Don’t know what I would do without it.

I am planning to attempt a time lapse series of photographs of the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023. PhotoPills is a fantastic app to do the planning I need to do. Plus the PhotoPills folks have an excellent (and free) 125 page pdf to show all you need to know. What an excellent app and customer support. Thank you.

So much useful data and calculators at your fingertips is amazing! Good tutorials and explanations. Thanks Rafael, Lucas and others in production of this app!

PhotoPills is such a great app! Thank you for creating this tool that allows photographers to plan their photos and shoot them exactly as planned!

Amazing app helps you get shots you never imagined

It’s one of the best steps I’ve ever found

Love the app but iPhone 14 pro max is not available in lenses. Does this really matter?

Me encanta esta APP vivo serca Del Mar y me ayuda saber a que hora poder tomar mis fotos en la hora azul como la hora dorada y por la trades más todavía gran trabajo PhotoPillers son la mejor App saludos desde NJ USA

You guys should add a light pollution overlay on the satellite images as an option, so that it’s all incorporated into planning as well! Would be a great feature to add -Josh

The developers of this app have really have put out an amazing tool for field photographer and even explorers and nature lovers. Thank you guys

Just eating now so that app doesn’t ask me later. I bet it’s good. I haven’t tried it yet but I’m gonna have fun.

I’m usually lazy about writing reviews but photopills ?? Holy shoot!! Most ingenious app ever! I don’t think I can ever plan landscape or Astrophotography without it anymore. Would have bought it even if it was 50 times the price! Huge respect behind every one that worked to make this app exist!! Chapeau !!!

Awesome app. It’d be amazing if they can add dark spot map on the app as well.

PhotoPills is amazing very easy to use great videos

I am amazed at the amount of detail and depth this app provides. Since switching to PhotoPills and learning through the Academy my night shots have improved dramatically!! I’m now including a session on PhotoPills in the astronomy and photography workshops that I run. HTTPS://astronomy retreat.com HTTPS://Babak Tafreshi.com/Maine

I know the name of my subject, several kilometers away, but I don’t know where it is in the map. There is no way I can search by landmark name. Looks like the only way to do it is to zoom the map, see if the landmark can be found, and then drop the pin.
