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.

I've been using PlanItPro for about a year now, mainly in planning out sunset/sunrise, Milky Way (unsuccessful due to light pollution) snaps, and trying to set up shots of the sun in unusual settings and backgrounds. I never used it for anything else mainly because I didn't know it had any other functions! Flash-forward to today and our over 10 days of chasing Comet Nowise. We get out earlier to see the sunset, then wait about an hour impatiently for the stars to begin shining in the darkening evening sky. We are using up to three different apps at home on a laptop, dumb phones and computers set to the time when we would finally see the Big Dipper (key to finding the comet), once we are on-location at our light-polluted spot we've chosen for the grand occasion. Considering we have already revisualized the comet's location on screens at home, it would still take us an average of an hour if not longer to just FIND the comet! All of these apps seem to place Jupiter and Saturn well, along with the Moon, but turn to the NW for our Big Dipper, those apps all lost its accuracy. Even tho calibrated several times on the spot for best results, the dumb phone app and apps used at home would place Big Dipper and comet abt 20 to 35° off and to the east! So two days ago we finally gave up on chasing the comet since we would spend so much time trying to find it as it sinks lower and lower in the sky that we would be getting home well after midnight. Then the wife reads an online write up about someone uses PlanItPro to recently shoot the comet and stated "it was quite accurate" in locating the comet!! Remember, we have been using THREE other similar apps that were way off for not only the comet's position, but all our other references we needed to locate the comet. So we decided on a test since I have the PlanItPro app. So after reading the users guides of the virtual viewfinder and star shooting, I understood those functions well enough for an actual test. After checking the app and trying it indoors, we took a short walk and used the V(AR) at the spot where I wanted to capture the comet, then returned home for the wait. Remember, we'd usually would be on location very early to wait for the Big Dipper (about an hour after sunset) to begin our frantic search for the comet. This time though, with PlanItPro already loaded on the screen and now knowing more or less where it would/should be, I insisted on waiting till the Big Dipper was visible, before we were there. Sure enough, later in the darkness, I found the comet within minutes instead of hours! In fact, according to PlanItPro, there were three other comets near Nowise!!! You can bet I will be using this FABULOUS tool called PlanItPro a lot more now, and will be very confident in its tested accuracy! Thanks for such a great app that works wonders IF you read the guides, and is so much more accurate than other apps, and now your app replaces four other apps I used for the "same" use!!!

The more I use this app and the more features I discover that are baked in the more I really like it. I recommend it to everyone who's ever asked me for an app to help with astro landscape photography.

Two stars for the moment - but I'm sure I'll be increasing the rating in time. Currently, however, there are a few bugs that make the app unusable - and they revolve around storage access and permissions. I currently have given the app access to everything it has requested, however, the app still does not have the ability to access the phone's storage, or read photos I've taken with the phone for the 'Viewfinder Picture feature that I would like to use for planning a scene of a target of unknown height. Additionally, I cannot download the elevation files locally because the app still is not maintaining the permissions to access storage on my phone (downloads stay in paused state - pressing 'play' button switches to 'pause' immediately). I've checked the app permission settings for all apps, and PlanIt Pro is listed as having permission to "Access photos, media, and files on your device." If these permissions issues aren't fixed, the app is mostly useless to me

App still crashing every time I use it as I have an older Android Motorola Z4. Great app when it works, but it's been crashing on my phone for the past 3 weeks. Hope it can be fixed soon...

Potentially a good app but their subscription system is a mess. You pay it works for a while and suddenly the app decides you don't have a subscription. You want to renew, but it says you already have a subscription. You check your app store and subscription is until November, try to use the feature, the app says your subscription is until July. It's an endless loop Also finicky to navigate, so much info on the screen, to pinch and zoom on the map you need baby fingers 3D works only on big cities
