The Photographer's Ephemeris App Reviews

I have not been able to find good tutorials on the use of these programs, unlike with a popular competing product. I want to like these programs, but so far they haven’t replaced the other product.

And it’s not just for photography. Curious where and when to look for sun/moonrise? On vacation and want to know where the sunset will be? This app does it all. Helps set up that one chance shot. And let’s you know when your next chance will be (or if it will even align). Well worth the price.

Every photographer should use this in any natural light. It’s easy to use and offers a ton of options to get just what you want.

Really great overall execution and features. With an nearly-unusable UI. There are lots of really weird choices that don’t make sense, but the main problem is: You can’t zoom out enough to pan around and find a location. Search doesn’t work well. This means if aren’t standing AT your location, or at least close, you may not be able to use the app. It’ll tell you it’s at “flight ceiling.” Come on, it’s a map. In general it’s a useful bit immensely frustrating app that will take 4x the amoun

A must have for photographers!

Awesome app. Don’t miss out!

Easy to use app for finding exact sunrise and sunset times, as well as other astronomical information. Well integrated with Google or Apple Maps. I’ve used it in Europe and North America.

I find TPE not only very useful but also essential in some cases for successful landscape photography. Knowing ahead of time where and at what time sunrise and moonrise will occur and even being able to compensate for the effect of obstructions such as nearby hills or more distant mountains has allowed me to position myself at just the right spot at the right time. I highly recommend this tool for landscape photography.

With this app I have been able to plan for shots for a planned trip or for a date and time that I can get a shot based to the sun or moon position relative to a land mark. I’ve used it for city shots and nature shots. It’s a great tool.

I've been using TPE for many years now, to do mundane stuff like help people plan weddings so the photos would work. And yesterday I discovered it also predicts eclipses. Beautifully and precisely. Great stuff!

I have looked everywhere, but it appears that the only place to save a location that you personally designate is while you are in the Web Site. And, to add insult to injury, you cannot use the desktop version on a mobile device. This is very inconvenient considering I always have my mobile devices when traveling rather than my desktop computer. Additionally, the Skyfire add-on is rarely correct. I understand that weather changes, but when the accuracy is less than 50% that is an issue.

TPE app itself is fantastic and earns 5 stars Skyfire is absolutely awful and drops it 2 stars. Save yourself the subscription and do not sign up for Skyfire. Free website predictions are correct far more often than this.

Alaska, Please!!! Please add Alaska for Skyfire!!!

And the desktop version (paywall), has so much more info! Useful for artists, interior designers planning around light, landscape garden designers, etc.

I use it every day and love it !

Thank you for another great update to PE. The new interface is elegant and awesome. This program is great for photographers planning a shot related to the sun or moon. It is also great for astronomy-related information. Highly recommended!

Wow this app is so powerful

Spot on, it’s an accurate tool that one day I’ll wonder how did without it!!!

I’ve been using this app for about a year or more and it has proven very useful. I have several locations saved near home and a National Park where I go to to observe and photograph sun and moon rises and sets. Particularly, I try to photograph moon rises or sets within the Earth’s Shadow. This app provides the times and locations where this will happen. What it cannot do is control the weather, so ultimately it is still a challenge, but using this app ensures that you have all the information a

I have been using this tool on my iphone for a decade. Just realized it might exist for the ipad, and am downloading now so thought I’d write a quick review. I love this tool so much. Highly, highly recommend.

Everything’s is what I am looking for so far. I will use it as soon as the weather gets nicer!!
