Comments on PhotoPills for Android

★★★★★ Joseph Gill · Feb 28, 2026
PhotoPills is a game changer with my Sony a6700. The Milky Way planner and AR view are incredibly accurate, and the 500-rule and exposure tools make dialing in APS-C settings easy. I can plan compositions, check moon phases, and know exactly where the galactic core will rise before I leave the house. It removes the guesswork in the field and helps me capture exactly what I envision. Worth every penny for serious night and landscape photographers.
★★★★★ Darcy Vasudev · Jun 24, 2025
The most useful photography app, with extensive features for planning. It's worth watching some tutorials to get the most out of its features.
★★★★☆ ay t · Sep 2, 2025
Photographers often move their hand to feel sunlight direction — what if AR mode had a live sensor glow or brightness feedback as the user enters stronger light? That would make real-world light scouting incredibly intuitive.” then photographer can place the subject for different lighting patterns as per suns intensity and brightness. If you add this feature it will be a valuable tool for all photographers scouting for sunlight path/pattern....sujay
★☆☆☆☆ Sean Grogan · Dec 4, 2025
I got this tool largely to use the field of view calculator, yeah it does not seem to work as I either expect or as I believe it is advertised.
★☆☆☆☆ James Bond · Apr 6, 2025
Finding the sun or the moon only at azimuth is impossible. It always asks for an elevation too! Edit: The point is to find the range of possible elevations and being able to sort the results instead of having to manually scroll through the timeline. I also want to know if a certain azimuth is possible within a year at all. Edit 2: It is not your place to tell me what is useful and what is not. As a user, I'm saying I need this as was advertised.
★☆☆☆☆ Manuel Jimenez · Mar 3, 2026
Why do you have an older App version for Android users? IOs users get version 2.13.23 while on the play store I get version 1.8.18. At the same price. How can I upgrade to the latest version. This is unfair for Android users.
