About this app

Sun Strategy is an amazingly powerful Sun / Moon ephemeris, surveyor, planning and weather tool for photographers. Get the direction the Sun and Moon will be for any given date, any given time, at any location on an easy to use map. Plan your next photography session around the Sun or Moon - never worry that the spot you have picked out for the session won't yield good sunrise, golden hour, or sunset images. Includes a built-in compass, that can also be clicked to rotate the map relative to the direction your phone is facing, to get a real visual in the field of where the Sun or Moon will be at any time. Also includes a "share location" tool, allowing you to share your current location with friends.

Also included for upgrade is a complete Sun information tool that tells you the times of sunrise, sunset, golden hours, blue hours, twilight, solar noon, best times to photograph and more! But it doesn't end there, you can also get Moon phase information, and a special weather forecast tool designed just for photography that tells you what gear to bring, what to expect, and tries to estimate the quality of the sunset.
