Description

In this free version, the Ephemeris feature is provided as an in-app purchase. After the purchase, it will be the same as the paid PlanIt Pro. Some screenshots listed here have Ephemeris features enabled. The free version can actually do a lot of things than you thought. It is a plan/marker file reader, a focal length estimator on the map, a DoF and panorama calculator and can even preview the aerial view for your drone. The Ephemeris feature is so highly integrated that it is hard for us to provide some of them in the free version and ask you to pay for the rest. You can see how many users give us a one-star rating simply because we didn't provide a trial. I think that's not fair. But as we said, although we didn't provide a trial, please feel free to purchase to try it. We can refund you at any time if you don't like it.

Please email info@planitphoto.com for bug reports or feature requests. Please also remember to visit https://youtu.be/JFpSi1u0-is for more video tutorials. Each video only lasts a few minutes but you will sure learn a lot from them. You can also reach us through Instagram or Facebook. Links are under the menu inside the app.

This is a special call to landscape photographers, travel photographers, nature photographers and those who are interested in night photography, city photography, time-lapse, star-trails, milky way or astro-photography: look no more, this is the ultimate app for you - the Planit Pro. It only costs you a cup of Frappuccino but will save you tons of time and effort and a lot of gas money. Most importantly, it will make you enjoying landscape photography even more.

Ansel Adams dedicates the beginning of his first book "Taos Pueblo" to visualization. He introduced the idea of "previsualization", which involved the photographer imagining what he wanted his final print to look like before he even took the shot. Of course, there are many great photos which were taken impromptu. However, for landscape photographers, being able to previsualize the scene before going there will greatly reduce the chance of being caught unprepared and will greatly increase the chance of getting better shots.

Photographers use various tools to help them pre-visualizing the scene. Nowadays, many of those tools are phone apps. Planit Pro is an all-in-one solution that is designed to leverage the map and simulated viewfinder technologies to provide the necessary tools for photographers to pre-visualize the scene in combination with the ground subjects and the celestial objects such as the Sun, the Moon, Stars, Star-trails and Milky Way.

In the Planit Pro app, we packed it with features - from location scouting such as GPS coordinates, elevations, distance, elevation gain, clear view, focal length, depth of field (DoF), hyperfocal distance, panorama and aerial photography, to the Ephemeris features such as the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset time and direction, twilight time, special hours of the day, sun/moon finder, major stars, constellations, nebulae azimuth and elevation angle, star trail planning, time-lapse calculation and simulation, sequence calculation and simulation, milky way searching, solar eclipse and lunar eclipse, exposure/ND filter calculator, light meter, rainbow position prediction, tide height and tide search etc. All the information are either represented on the map as an overlay or visually presented in simulated viewfinders (VR, AR, picture, or street view), just like you look through your camera's viewfinder. Whatever you want for your landscape photography, it is there in the Planit Pro.

Landscape photography is an adventure in the nature world. We understand sometimes there won't be any network connection when you are out exploring. Planit Pro was designed for have it in mind. If you preload the offline elevation files and the offline mbtiles maps, you can use the app fully offline without the need for network connections.

Recent changes:
Added the latest 2025 Light Pollution Map (LPM) layers to the app to replace the older LPA layers, though LPA remains available for offline use.
Save the search string when switching out of the app so that user can continue typing the search string.

Comments on Planit: Photo Planner for Android

★★★★★ Daisuke Maki · Mar 8, 2018

Hi there, this is really useful for astrophotography, and even plan for stargazing (for pro version).

★★★★★ Steve Sagnotti · Jan 14, 2022

The Planit Photo Planner is a very good app for use in photo planning, and it's free. For a great app purchase Planit Pro, it does everything a photographer would want for planning a photo shoot of landscapes, seascapes or nights capes. Well worth the inexpensive price

★★★★★ Norm Ng · Jun 28, 2021

I updated my planit pro few days ago, and it downgraded all my pro features. Can you help me to recover it? Emailed planit. Bo answer. Thx! Quick response from planit. Problem solved.

★☆☆☆☆ Michael T. · Jan 17, 2018

Just spent ages trying to figure out why I couldn't use this app or get it to do what's shown in the screenshots and on tutorial videos on YouTube... and then I discover that most of the features shown in the screenshots aren't even available for a brief trial without payment. Thanks for wasting my time! Edit: No, something which requires you ignore the screenshots (which are all most people look at) and which you must click "read more" to even access is *not* clearly mentioned.

★☆☆☆☆ Joffrey Bieber · Sep 3, 2018

Don't waste your time downloading. This app is nothing but an ad for the paid version. If that wasn't worth the 1 star, then the disdain this broke little dev shows for their customers in other reviews definitely earns it. Responding to bad reviews by saying "you're welcome don't download it it's your loss I lose nothing"... well, you certainly lost at least one customer from that. There are dozens of apps on this app store that do what the paid version of this does, and they aren't developed by unprofessional and pathetic dev's like this one.

★☆☆☆☆ Alexander Kabat · Apr 7, 2020

Pretty disappointed, wanted to find out if the sun and moon function worked in the Southern Hemisphere. Most don't. Well the free version won't let me. This is why I don't buy apps. Most don't work the way they are advertised

★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Whitley · Feb 3, 2018

Free app needs to be removed it is nothing but a Google Earth map with no real additional functionality. I don't know how well the "pro" version works, but from the disappointment of the free version I am not willing to take the risk.
