Description
Sunseeker is a comprehensive solar tracking & compass app. It shows the sun’s hourly direction intervals, its equinox, winter & summer solstice paths, sunrise sunset times, twilight times, sun shadow, the golden hour & more. The app allows you to add sun-event notifications & has a widget showing the day’s solar data & position on an arc. The surveyor view shows the solar direction for each sunlight hour. Sunseeker has both a flat compass view & a 3D Augmented Reality (AR) view to show the solar position & path.
The app is useful for -
▶ Photographers- to plan according to the golden hour or blue hour & optimal sunlight conditions, sunrise & sunset times & directions.
▶ Cinematographers- this sun tracker & sun surveyor enables you to find the sun exposure, directions, sun shadow & sunrise sunset times for any location.
▶ Real Estate Buyers- can use the app before buying a property to check the sun path & to find the sun exposure of properties.
▶ Drivers - Sunseeker lets you track the sun path & movement during the days & helps drivers know the sun position to find how long the car will remain in the shade at any given parking spot.
▶ Campers & Picnickers- for anyone planning a day out, Sunseeker app will help in finding where to camp, sit or pitch an umbrella depending on the sunlight & sun direction.
▶ Gardeners- Sun Seeker can also help with finding optimal planting locations & seasonal sunlight hours as a sun rise calendar
▶ Architects & Surveyors- for visualising the spatial variability of the solar angle throughout the year & using the compass app as a sun surveyor & calendar to determine the sunlight directions.
Main Features
* Sunseeker is a sun locator which uses GPS, magnetometer & gyroscope to find the correct solar position & sun path for your current location.
* Flat compass view shows current solar position, diurnal solar angle & elevation (separated into day & night segments), sun shadow length ratio, atmospheric path thickness.
* 3D augmented reality (AR) camera overlay view shows the sun's current position, its path with hour points marked. Check golden hour using this feature!
* Camera view has an optional pointer to guide you towards the current location of the sun & help you with sun direction.
* Map view shows solar direction arrows, sun path & elevations for each hour of the day.
* Choose any date to view sun position & path on that day. You can view sunset & sunrise times for each day as well.
* Choose any location on earth (includes 40,000+ cities or custom locations available offline, as well as a comprehensive online map search capability)
* Get additional details including sun rise, sunset & culmination times, maximum elevation, civil, nautical & astronomical twilight times of the sun.
* Optional device notifications for all manner of sun-related periods & events, such as golden hour or blue hour, various twilight & shadow periods, or sun at a given compass heading or above a given elevation.
* This sun rise calendar app allows the user to include equinox, summer & winter solstice paths on both flat compass view & camera view.
Sun Seeker app has been featured in numerous high-profile blogs, websites & publications, including Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Sydney Morning Herald etc. "Truly amazing", "Incredible", "Brilliant" - the most genuinely useful application of augmented reality - ever!

Ivan Machiz,
Photographer’s/Real Estate must have
You would not think this powerful tool inside your pocket/cell phone could be so useful, but it truly is. As a professional photographer/videographer, I use it all the time to find The lighting I want for my shop. Especially on low budget shoots where they do not want to pay for my time to scout the location in advance, I can still know when to show up for the best lighting.
As a REALTOR®,Many of my clients are seeking homes that face a particular direction. Sun Seeker absolutely helps with that. From inside a location I can tell clients where to look for the sun from any point in the house at any time of the year. Want to know if your rear deck will be too hot to eat at the height of summer?, I can tell you that. Want to know the best place to plant your garden? No problem. Want to know if a building is going to block the sun from you next December when the sun is lower on the horizon? No problem. Sunseeker is my go to application for this and so much more. I highly recommend it.

Answer to a photographer’s prayers
I was looking for something which would tel me where the sun rises at any given place on any given day and I almost couldn’t believe that I found it in this app
I first though it was a simple time of sunrise and sunset app like so many others but when I dove into it I realized that it would tell me sunrise locations and angle from your location and a lot of other stuff from any place on the globe
The technology alone is fascinating but the ability to know where the sun rises on any day from any location is like gold to a photographer
Thanks for the answer to my needs I will be putting this app to full use and saving a lot of time searching out locations by trial and error
This app puts an end to that

Scooter 82,
Much improved app
I originally rated this app one star because it bombarded me with pop ups to rate it. So I did, one star. Because it was unusable. Thankfully an update fixed the developers over zealous need for ratings and the app is useful again.
I recently used the app in Thailand where I’m searching for a piece of land with a view of the sunset over the mountains. It was indispensable as the realtor always told me the land met my requirements. Often times it did not and I showed them the proof. Even better, this app gives you sunset and sunrise paths for not only the current day but for other days and months throughout the year. This allowed me to see where the sunset would be for the time period I will be here, most of the winter.
Excellent app well worth the cost.

BCH75,
Look to the sky- know what its plans are.
I love this app so much! I use it mostly to determine sun and shade areas but it’s so much more! For homeowners, for professionals, it allows you to perform any job, and determine the perfect amount of sun or shade, from Treeheights, to shape and angle correctly, basically the same instrumentation they use for determining if your houses ready for solar panels-it’s the same level of instrumentation they would use, you can find out their requirements and beat them to the punch, or make sure your chicken coop is facing the right direction
The entire world requires sun and shade, just tells you exactly where and when it’s going to be.
For everything! Proper shading for a Koi fish ponds. It just goes on and on and it’s so simple. Camping sites, it’s important for everything! The proper direction your house should be positioned . Where your window should be. It never stops the use for a solar compass-
Plan your habitat in advance,
For the life around you, and for your own-

timkenney,
I love this app
I’ve always been fascinated by weather, stars and sky phenomena and when I discovered this app I was just delighted. Especially because of the 3-D feature where you can lift the phone and find out where the sun is even on a cloudy day.
But I actually found it useful when my daughter was looking for a house to buy and we were able to charge which direction it was facing and where the sun would be in any given season. Providing great insight into how the house would handle the various seasons, as sunlight and where it falls can make your house too hot or too cold.

Killer App for Kanarraville - Annular Solar Eclipse
I it is still working great for this November 2019 Transit of Mercury!recently purchased and installed this app on a 3Gs running the updated iOs without mishap. Last weekend, our group of five went to Utah for the annular solar eclipse on 20 May 2012. In Kanarraville, Utah, this app enabled me to accurately predict where the Sun would set. I accomplished this feat without practice and with an unfamiliar horizon. Bravo!
Update 2014
This app is still going strong for me. Sun Seeker is a valuable tool for astrophotographers. I use this app often and it is unsurpassed for plotting and framing solar eclipse photographs.
Update 2018
SS is getting better as time passes. This augmented reality (AR) app is always great but it a key part of my eclipse observing toolkit. I used it again last summer in Oregon for the total solar eclipse. SS still works fine with my new iPhone 8+ and never seems to crash. The map feature is neat and well executed. Seeing how time affects the azimuth range of the Sun is useful and fascinating. 6*!

geowyn,
Find out where to see sunrise and sunset
This evening I was walking across the campus where I work, close to sunset. I am still exploring this app and noticed it has a nice feature where you can see the path of the sun’s rays on top of a map. I noticed that at a certain point where my path would cross between two buildings, I would likely catch sight of the sunset. As I approached the spot, I slowed down and then stopped and watched for a few minutes, taking in the beautiful transition as the sun light through the western clouds painted the sky beautiful colors. Thank you!
tr1ee7,
A must for anyone designing a solar focused home.
My wife and I are designing a solar focused home in NM, USA. Sifting through overly technical websites with mountains of raw data left us starving for usable information specific to our homesite. This app not only translates such data into usable information for today’s date but, gives us projections of where the sun will be throughout the year. Now we are able to site our future home with (solar) precision as well as make better decisions as to the exact nature of our structure’s design to maximize solar gain for the winter and shade for the summer.
Feral Vermonter,
Does what it does perfectly
While this app isn’t full of all sorts of bells and whistles, it does what it says on the box and it does so perfectly. Working in several fields I have found this a particularly useful tool for solar planning.
It’d be fun to toss in things like moon paths and phases, but what would really make the app more useful in the field would be taking more offline—preloading maps and other info for sites with no available signal. That’s no complaint, though, just constructive feedback—I give this app 5/5.

Ted Morée,
Indispensable for camera people
Whether you’re shooting video or still photos, scripted or documentary, this app is essential. Even more crucial for time lapse shooters. Any weather app can tell you when the sun will rise and set, but this one shows you exactly where with AR overlays using your phone’s camera, so you’ll know precisely when the sun will be blocked by that building. Or you can look at a location map with the sun’s course clearly marked. Must-have when scouting locations for any type of camera work.
