★★★★☆Rhys Allen· Nov 20, 2024
Great app, used it for several years for photography to plan a shoot and for work to plan where to fit outside temperature sensors for commercial heating systems which have to be fitted north and out of direct sunlight therefore helps to show where the sun will be on a building throught the year.

Almost perfect. I only miss moon tracking. Anyhow, kudos for the developer of this app!!

I've tried a few of these apps and Sun Seeker works the best for me.
★★★★★Rich Grant· Jun 9, 2019
Incredibly useful and easy to use. Map and 3d mode are so good and accurate when house hunting

Missing snapshot button Hi guys. .love your Sunseeker app and using it both on ios and Android... The only reason that I gave you 4 stars is below: Very often, I have to take a snapshot on location. However, it is very difficult as the only way ia to use "Share" button which is sometimes very difficult. Can you add Snapshot button on the edge of live view screen, I believe that would be great for functionality improvement? Thanks!

Normal compass mode inaccurate Great app! Except for one problem - it doesn't do the most important thing it's supposed to do. In 3D view, the normal compass mode almost always shows the sun at the wrong position. Not entirely off, but always off enough that it's unusable for shoots. (using an Oneplus 3)

NEEDS UPDATE/iOS HAS WIDGET BUT NOT ANDROID Not being accurate I read what I can do. I see the iOS version has a couple of things listed but the Android version does not. Another issue is I download a LITE (FREE) version of a competitor (Sun Surveyor) and it has a calibration tool that I used, and its version was spot on showing where the sun was. I switch to this app and now (after competitor app calibrated) it's working how it should. In short, work needs to be done and features added.
