Description
SunOnTrack (formerly Sunnytrack) transforms your phone or tablet into a great tool calculating & simulating the sun's position, path and shadows for every place in the world, at any time. Visualized in different views, for example on the map or on your live camera image using Augmented Reality. See the height of the sun, its direction (azimuth) and its detailed path from sunrise till sunset.
PHILOSOPHY: No ads. No user tracking. SunOnTrack tracks the sun, but only the sun, not the user! For sure. Furthermore, this app is a professional product. Therefore, it can be bought for a one-time price to get all the high quality features it offers at once, without distracting ads or the need for further in app purchases.
☀️ You attach importance to photographing perfectly illuminated photo scenes? 📷 Being a great photographer you will never miss optimal light situations again. SunOnTrack gives you the opportunity to exactly plan sun position and Blue Hour/dusk 🌃 for your scenes. Regardless of whether landscape or object photography, light plays an important role.
☀️ New flat? Searching/Planning for a house? Adapting your house with a solar panel? Not only great for individuals but also for professional real estate agents. Check the light and shadows, for all seasons of the year. When does the sun shine through the window in living room? 🌅 Where exactly is sunrise, where is sunset? And when? In Augmented Reality (AR) 3D-View SunOnTrack overlays your live camera image with sun path and more information for any day. Also in photovoltaics, find optimal angles.
☀️ Simulate shadows cast by objects in the sunlight using Shadow Simulation mode. 🌳 You can see the length and direction of the shadow, a tree or a building throws on your garden. Or use it to track when the hill next to your house shadows your plot.
☀️ Save and easily revisit places like popular photo scenes or other objects like houses. 📍
☀️ Data View 📈 provides lots of detailed information and times on sun position like length of day, solar noon, sunrise and sunset, and times for dusk and dawn (also Blue Hour and Golden Hour).

Comments on SunOnTrack: Sun Path & Shadows for Android
★★★★☆Rolf F. Katzenberger· Aug 1, 2024
Easy to use, and without ads and tracking. Well worth paying for that. Only 4 stars because 1) No language setting 2) When switching to shadow simulation, the sun positions overlay becomes invisible; and when showing the sun position, there's no configurable "default shadow" object shown at the chosen position (like e.g. in the much less privacy-friendly Sun Locator app), so currently you can't have both in one view, it seems. Make these an option => 5 stars.

Great app. Shadow simulation and sun rise/fall profiling is particularly helpful when searching for a new property and planning a new garden for optimal plant positioning.
★★★★★James Ehrmin· Oct 22, 2021
This a very useful app for a photographer or for gardening and so on when knowing the position of the sun is important. If I'm going to drive along way to photograph something, I can plan to arrive when the light is soft, etc. I would like it if there was an option to have the app run against the clock and automatically track in real time. Good work. Thanks.

I got this for free with my Mate 20 pro, This app is extremely useful for planning solar panel placement on any house (Solar Min/Max). However, the app does cost 8 bucks, which is a bit expensive.

I will email you. Can I get logs to send you, so you can check what's going on? Because maps works ie Osman, gmaps, organic maps.also my gps app (to test my gps) works all fine. That's how I tested to see if it was my phone or the app. Yours was the only app that couldn't get the GPS signal.

Useful app that helped with my building project. However, my virus checker (AVG antivirus) has recommended that it is uninstalled due to 'virus suspicions'. 🤔
