Pros and cons of Sunfollower app for iPhone and iPad
Sunfollower app good for
suprisingly good despite some of the odd reviews
one thing i have noticed, especially when using the camera view mode is you need to give it time to settle in - it will not be spot on ever, but gets pretty close in putting the sun where it actually is in the lense....
Has all the features i need, works fast and well. Im really happy with it. Worth the money!
Some bad moments
This app works really well. It would be perfect if I could easily enter an address (like I can a Maps application) rather than longitude and latitude. To be fair, none of the sun tracking apps that i have used allow for this.
Very cool app for photography. It would be great if there were an option for 12 hour display rather than just 24 hour. Also, does it factor in Daylight savings time as well?
Very cool app. Neat to see the progression of the sun through the day.
I never thought much about where the sun rose and set. I assumed East and West and that they were 180 degrees apart. Now I am retired and sitting drinking coffee in the morning, and I cant help noticing that the sun doesnt rise or set in the same place. I thought, there must be an app to show this and there are. This one is fascinating with lots features I hadnt anticipated.
