Does what it says. Great for free

Simple, but well executed app, congrats to the developers. Tested it at the beach today for umbrella placement and it was very accurate.

Ingenious app that works well

Could use more features like taking snapshots with notes and the ability to see all days in the future, present and past.

Needs fine tuning

I am a gardener and knowing where sun and shade is a tricky business. The concept and interface of this app is great, but the accuracy needs lots of work.

WOW!!!! INCREDIBLE APP!!!!!

Just point your camera in the direction indicated by the big arrow. The rest explains itself. This should win a gajillion awards for usability and simplicity. I love it!!!!

New version 1.2 works

I've wanted this app for 17 years. Thank you.

Just Great.

I've never written a review for an app but I just had to for Sun Scout. Its a absolute must have for a photographer. Works great!

Needs More Features for the Price

It's great at what it does, but it's a one trick pony. I'd like to see the ability to enter in a date manually. Also, it should indicate the Golden Hour, not just say where the sun will be when.

WOW!

I've had every sort of system for doing what this app does and I've checked it's accuracy against those methods, this is the real deal.

OS 9 killed it

This app has been a great help in the past but after updating my iPhone to 6s from my old 5 , the app will not work . Should I delete it & reinstall? Will I be charged again?

Please please fix for ios9

This was one of the greatest photo apps around. Please fix so it works with iOS9.

Seems to be working now on iOS 9 and iPhone 6S

So excited to have this working again. It's the easiest app I've found for scouting for future date and sun location. Great for time lapse sunrise and sunset, but also excellent for scouting filming locations and impact of sun for time of day.

Must Have!

Simply put Sun-Scout is a must have for any level of photography and videography. As a wedding and commercial photographer I’ve used this app countless times over the past 6 years - it’s paid for itself time and time again.

Love this app

I have relied on Sun Scout for my landscape business and appreciate the update for IOS 13. It is a great tool!

WORKS, BUT ONLY FOR DATES OF THEIR CHOOSING

Their website FAQ says: "Does Sun Scout let me see the sun for days other than today? Absolutely. You can tell Sun Scout the date in the year that you are interested in. You can't yet set a specific custom date, but we expect to add this as a feature provided there is demand." SO, I'm confused…You CAN tell it the date you're interested in (HOW?), BUT YOU CANNOT YET SET A SPECIFIC DATE. ???? And: $9.99 is WAY too expensive and they say you should calibrate it every day.
