Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon) (v. 1.9.9.1) Разработано Adam Ratana |
Sun Surveyor predicts Sun & Moon positions (azimuth, altitude, time) with its modules: 3D Compass, Map View, Camera View (Augmented Reality) and Details (Ephemeris). Sun Surveyor is useful for film and photo location scouting, architecture, solar panel positioning, gardening, real estate, Earth Science geekery, and more! Plan for every sunrise and sunset!
Use the interactive controls to:
● Visualize and plan for the golden hour, blue hour and every sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset
● Find the time of year and angle to shoot a location at Sunrise or Sunset, or compositions involving the Moon
● View augmented reality projections of the Sun and Moon paths, pinpoint the time the sun or moon will be at a particular location in the sky
● Visualize the Sun and Moon throughout the day or over a year for any location on the earth
● Observe the Summer and Winter Solstice paths for any location
Features:
● Sun & Moon Bearing and Altitude, Sunrise & Sunset, Shadow Ratio, Moon Rise & Set, Moon Phase & Illumination %, Twilight Times, Summer and Winter Solstice Paths, Equinox Paths, Golden Hour and Blue Hour Times, Solar Noon
● 3D Compass - A 3D projection of Sun and Moon positions and events overlaid onto a compass representing the device's bearing and orientation in the world
● Map View - A view of Sun and Moon event positions overlaid onto an interactive map. Lock down your shooting point and align your shot with Sun & Moon events! Uses the new Google Maps API featuring Terrain maps and rotation and tilting of the map view. Also features elevation lookups and the ability to determine difference in vertical angles between two locations.
● AR Camera View - View through the phone's camera, visualize where the sun and moon will be in the sky, or when they will move behind a building
● Widgets for your home screen and lock screen showing information for your current location (9 total)
● Time Machine Slider - Visualize events for a single day, or watch the days get longer and shorter and the Moon's path get further and closer throughout a year
● Offline Usage (excludes Map View) - Enter Coordinates, Save & Load Locations with no data connection or GPS available
● Send screenshots and details
● Sun shadow ratio and projection, visualize the shadows cast from the Sun
● Local, Auto-Detect and Manual Timezone selection
● Compensation for Magnetic Declination
● Elevation data for locations
● Languages Supported: English, German, Japanese, Spanish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Danish, Dutch, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Czech, Estonian, Turkish, Afrikaans
** NOTE: the 3D Compass and Augmented Reality portions of this app make use of your device's compass. Some devices (HTC One V, HTC Desire C, etc) do not have a compass. The Maps and Details portion will remain unaffected. I do not ban any devices from installing this app, as some people have more than one device, such as tablets without cameras, or compasses, and I will gladly refund users if the app is not working for them.

[2013-08-15] A Google User: Great app Very useful when house hunting and wanting a sunny garden |
|
[2013-08-14] A Google User: Awesome! |
|
[2013-08-09] A Google User: Great tool for planning out photo shoots I just got this, but it will be great for planing out the best time for photo shoots. I just got this app, so after using it for a while, I will come back and re-review. Just from my initial use, I give it 4 stars. If it is as useful as it appears to be, it will definitely get 5 stars. |
|
[2013-08-09] A Google User: Fantastic app... ...and great response from the writer to users' concerns and issues. Unquestionably, a five-star rating. |

|
[2013-08-05] A Google User: This is the app to get for photography! Awesome! This app is going to be a major tool in my location photography. You can plan out just when the sun is going to peek through trees and what angle you will want to photograph. You can do this months in advance. For example: I wanted a portrait with the sun behind the subject and shining though the trees in the background. Using this app, I knew what time it would happen and what angles would work just right. I'm still learning how to use some of the more advanced features. It is really amazing. It seems the only thing it can't predict is the weather and cloud cover. |
|
[2013-08-01] A Google User: Very nice! Use for movie and photo work where we need to know sun location at location, sines times months in advance. |
|

[2013-07-17] A Google User: Love it! Works really well! Worth having a phone with a gyroscope to run it perfectly. |
|
[2013-07-15] A Google User: Top Notch App This is an excellent app for photographers like myself. The developer is very friendly and is more than willing to help troubleshoot any issue that is related to the app. Five stars for a great app and a great developer. |
|
[2013-07-15] A Google User: An excellent tool Far better and more accurate than the other apps that are out there. An invaluable tool for today's photographer or skywatcher. |

[2013-06-29] A Google User: Landscape Photography Must Have! Sunrises and moonrises are tough to anticipate in the dark but this app can get you into the right location for the s/m-rise! Love it! The moonrise camera choice was awesome when trying to locate the position to photograph the recent supermoon between close city buildings! |
|
[2013-06-24] A Google User: Excellent! I love this product, it's extremely helpful for Permaculture planning taking into account sun position at time of day/year against a property. Thanks for your hard work! |

|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: Necessary App for Lunar - Solar Observers I only recently purchased this well thought-out app for my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) as I needed a location utility for planning observations, making notes, etc with my various lunar and solar instruments. It does what it advertises. Though this full-version's price is a bit steep compared to other astronomy apps exclusive to our Sun and / or our Moon i purchased this within minutes of installing the Lite (free) version and am quite happy with it. Why purchase an app to locate such obvious objects as our Sun & Moon? As stated, strategic purposes. Also it is quite fun to use. One knows where the Moon is now but this app will tell you where it should be in 6 hours. My 2, rather moon savvy, dogs don't have that ability - as far as I know. |
|
[2013-06-02] A Google User: Great work. I used this for my solar project. Thank you. :-) |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Amazing |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Photographer's tool! Wonderful app that is the best in this category. I'm a photographer so I use this to set up sunrise and sunset shots in new locations. The Augmented reality camera feature is really cool and incredibly useful. Buy this app! |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Well layed out easey to use My intrest is manly photography usfill to locate the sun pre sunrise with the camera setting i use a samsung ace 2 and the posituons are pretty spot on |
|
[2013-05-31] A Google User: Very nice but ... ...but for those of us who are not chronographers and astronomers, the interface could be a tad easier, I feel. Otherwise perfect |
|
[2013-05-20] A Google User: Awesome app |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Recommended for landscape photographers I use it on daily basis when scouting for landscape location to predict the sun or the moon position and moon phase ^_* |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Plain awesome Recommended for all (landscape) photographers. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: App is incredibly helpful for photographers or videographers, DPs, or just those who are nerdy. A lot of time must have been put into creating this app. I certainly enjoy having it! |
|
[2013-05-09] A Google User: don't mind 30 SEND apps popping up ? GET IT OTHRER THAN BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE If you don't mind 30 SEND apps popping up after EVER snap ? GET IT |
|
[2013-05-06] A Google User: Fantastic app. I am a pro photographer and use this app to plan photo shoots. Excellent customer service. Highly recommended . |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: This is amazing fur a landscape designer to see where the sun is going. You ll love it too |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: Excellent in all aspects This app is perfect, recommended for all field photographers. |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: very useful for me when i go to block shot perfect |
|
[2013-05-03] A Google User: Most useful app I love this app it makes my life alot easier.. |
|
[2013-05-01] A Google User: Perfekt! Diese Programm ist großartig! Für einen absolut fairen Preis bekommt man professionelle Funktionen die man zum Beispiel bei Vorbereitungen zu Filmen und Fotos nutzen kann. Z.B. Man kann Koordinaten und Screenshoots direkt aus dem Programm an Jedermann schicken und die Locations abspeichern. Großartig! :-) |
|
[2013-04-30] A Google User: Fast and competent support The app has lots of nice features and is easy to use. A bug report was answered within minutes! |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: Incredible app I am incredibly satisfied with Sun Surveyor. What an amazing app for a photographer. I am an amateur landscape photographer, and I always enjoy taking photos of the sun rising and setting, besides time lapses. With this app, I can always check the timing, and I can see where the sun will be in the map to pick the best spot to take the picture. I usually play a lot with its map feature to pick the best spots to capture the sun, and predict the lighting of the landscape. It also works completely offline; a data connection is not necessary. This is an essential app for any photographer who cares about natural lighting. Strongly recommended. |
|
[2013-04-25] A Google User: Great app! |
|
[2013-04-17] A Google User: Needs to be in every's photographer toolbox/phone This app is a photographers must have. Just point your phones camera on your subject, and it will show you the path of the moon and the sun now and in the time to come in Augmented Reality. With the map view you can even preplan every location. There is no excuse to have "bad" light in your photos anymore. |
|
[2013-04-16] A Google User: Best photo app! This app is truly awesome. Great way to plan shots according to time of day and light conditions. |
|
[2013-04-16] A Google User: Amazing |
|
[2013-04-15] A Google User: Ideal for landscape photography This app provides just about everything anyone who needs to know sun/moon position. An excellent implementation. |
|
[2013-04-14] A Google User: Amazing, well worth the full version! This app is amazing. The lite version is great, but the AR and map features of the full version make it amazing. So simple to use, and so useful for photography! The tools this app gives you are fantastic. Bonus is the dev looks to be fairly active too. Thanks for the awesome app. UPDATE: This app continues to excel. Dev is very active and super friendly and helpful. Since purchase this tool has improved even more with performance and the new maps API. All around fantastic app and well worth the money |
|
[2013-04-14] A Google User: Best app A must for landscape photography |
|
[2013-04-13] A Google User: Ingenious! What an amazingly useful app. I installed the free version first, thinking it may not be of much use to me, since my android has no built in compass, but as soon as I had a good look at it I bought the full version. Well worth its money. |
|
[2013-04-09] A Google User: Very good Pro App Great app. Worth every penny. Please can you look at adding ocean tidal info? Its a factor of moon position an location. So it can't be too complicated |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: Great design. The UI, graphics, and functionality are clearly well thought out and beautifully executed. |
|
[2013-03-25] A Google User: My favorite app for photography i am photography enthusiast with a nice dslr cam, and i try to find any good apps to assist with photography. This app is by far my favorite and most regularly used app of all. It tells me where the sun will be at any given time, when sunset/sunrise are, i can even use the augmented reality cam to figure out roughly when the sun will be at just the right angle. This is the one photography ap that i use constantly |
|
[2013-03-24] A Google User: Excellent tool for photographers This app allows you to know exactly when and where the sun and moon rise and set, and what the angle of the sun will be at any specific time and place. That's very useful for outdoor photography, because it allows you to pre-visualize and plan. |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: Good app, widget needs improvement I love the app and all the info and functions, it works flawlessly and is just what I wanted, but I can't say that I like the widget. I have it on my Nexus 7 home screen and it is just plain ugly. The text is way too small and the design is, well let's say inappropriate. Besides that the app is great |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: Great photo planning app |
|
[2013-03-16] A Google User: Fantastic Everything I need to plan for sun/moon rise, sunset and golden/blue hour shooting. And constant updates! |
|
[2013-03-12] A Google User: Very good The app works well now. Keep it updated |
|
[2013-03-12] A Google User: Grip & DPs best friend Follow the Sun at any given moment day or time, this is perfect for production and it works great |
|
[2013-03-02] A Google User: Worth the money.. يستاهل المبلغ ممتاز برنامج ممتاز.. سعيد جدا.. I like it.. very happy. |
|
[2013-02-23] A Google User: Excellent app for photographers This app is a must for photographers who want to see both the position of the sun (and moon) for those critical shots in addition to dusk and dawn. You never have to be caught out again watching the sun drop or rise only to find a big cliff or other object in the way of that critical moment. I use it all the time when out with my camera gear. |
|
[2013-02-10] A Google User: Does the job well |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: Great |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: Solar Projects This app is perfect for planning your solar projects in the beginning stages. |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: Brilliant app This just works and is easy to use. Top work. Easily worth the money he is asking. |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Excellent app I use it to figure out where the shadows on my photovoltaic are. |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: Excellent It's the best tool for a film,tv or photography professional. I use it all the time. |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Great I'm planning to build a cabin and this app helped me figure out how to orient it on the field. |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Wow This is the kind of application that really blows your mind. It's so simple and yet has completely changed my understanding of the sky above me. Oh, and by the way, there are many uses for this app; from finding the sunniest spot to grow tomatoes to predicting when and where to work outside before the sun gets too intense. People from all sorts of trades are fascinated by it! |
|
[2013-02-02] A Google User: Must have for pro photographers. I use this to plot out every landscape and architectural photoshoot I do. An awesome program! |
|
[2013-01-29] A Google User: Excellent app I don't use it for photography I just like it.Being able to know where the sun is going to be at any time of yr is going to help me place my garden next yr at my new place.Otherwise I just enjoy playing with this app.Super high quality app. |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: Battery hog This app accounted for more battery usage on my idle Nexus, despite having not opened it or running its widgets. |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Galaxy S3 Awesome application |
|
[2013-01-09] A Google User: Great visual app I enjoy checking this app. It works well on my old Droid Incredible and I think it's worth the coin that I shelled out for it. It's a unique approach to displaying this kind of data. One thing I think would be cool is if we could see the position of the sun and moon in transparent form below the horizon line when the phone is held vertically (3D mode). Cheers and nice work! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Great tool Recently returned to photography. This is a great tool for planning shots. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Excellent Good apps for Solar System Integrator |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Excellent app I use this a lot when planning shoots, so usefull on so many levels. If it could actually make the sun appear at the touch of a button and allow me to move the clouds it would be even better, apart from that it's perfect and well worth the money. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Excellent A very valuable tool for your Photography. I use it for critical planning |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Good Good app but cant move to memory card. Otherwise 5 stars |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Great App Worth its money this is a must-have ! |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Awesome app Needs satellite overlay (mabe it does but I haven't found out how to activate) Great app for photography |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Sunset/Sunrise information. Great program, very useful. |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Great App This is a great app, particularly if you want to plan your garden or consider fitting Solar PV. I was very happy to pay for this as it works so well on my Galaxy S111 |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Absolutely awesome. This app has come a long way. It hasn't been on my phone for quite a while. Just had another look & now it's staying. Love what you've done with it. |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: Very useful App It stops working at times on the Motorola Atrix 2 but it is a very useful app and the interface is wonderful to look at ) |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Current location For some reason, on my tablet, current location is not working. On the same time, Google Maps find location easy in and out doors. Hope is easy fix. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Love it A beautiful, elegant and accurate app. |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: S2 accuracy issue resolved When I first used this app, the sun's position relative to the overlay of the sun was wrong, as was true north when compared with a real compass reading. The issue was with the S2 and not the app. I changed the azimuth reading in sun surveyor to 245° and now it's accurate. A great piece of software. Thanks for the help, Adam. |
|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: Outstanding. Utterly brilliant app. Essential tool not only for photographers and filmmakers, but also great for geomancers wanting to know Sun & Moon azimuths from stone circles etc. Great stuff! |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: Outstanding! Best piece of photography software on my phone. Worth every penny, and I rarely pay money for an app. Good support to. |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: Best around No comparison |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Android 4.2 Just updated to Android 4.2 on the nexus 7 and the widgets have stoped working :( just so you are aware and you can investigate .. still one of my fave apps but would love the widgets back :D |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Useful I could plan if my solar powered unit would get enough sun for illumination in winter |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Very useful device 5star |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: Dhunt Use for Kite Aerial Photography (KAP). The map great for scouting future sites and the pin feature makes it twice as useful |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: The only sun/moon app you need! Whether you are shooting a sunrise and need to find were the sun will pop over the horizon or need to track the moon path for a science project or when the next full moon will be, this is the perfect for it all. Great features and easy way to stay ahead of the game at work. Hoping I won't need to purchase again when I upgrade to iPhone 5. |
