Easy to install, and set up--calibrate, set date & tkme and done. Very accurate and useful. Great app. After more tome in the field, sure to upgrade.

Very good for demo purposes, but not very practical as the main elements of the app are locked in "lite" mode. The upgraded version must be super!

This is a wonderful app. Anyone disagreeing should look again at his/her own capacity to use it. Hats off to Adam Ratana for developing it.

This app is fabulous. i'm not really a photographer but i spend loads of time outdoors. It shows you where the sun will be in rrelation to your position. also has compass so it moves with you in real time. i like it

Took this app to help me look for good places for sunsets, have found a couple uses for it since. But the features are impressively accurate: azimuth, elevation, even the internal compass are all spot on.

worthless, this app wants you to purchase the full version, the free app is nearly useless. I had this app all of 5 minutes. for the price you may as well get photo pill, I was hoping this would have worked. if you go to the map view... I hope you live in Italy, it doesn't work anywhere else...
