Review summary

Sun Position Map is praised for its concise, powerful sun and moon data and its usefulness for photography planning. Users value its simple interface and map view that consolidate tools for planning shoots, locations, and timing. It’s reliable and long-used, but common criticisms include a regression in showing borders, challenging UI controls, device quirks, and requests for features like adjustable circle shading and ongoing updates.

Pros

Simple, elegant UI that presents a lot of information in a concise format.
Provides sun and moon positions, rise/set times, and related data for planning photos and outdoor activities.
Excellent planning tool for photography, helping with timing, vantage points, and field-of-view planning.
Reliable and well-regarded; users have used it for years with consistent results.
All-in-one tool with a good map view and integrated tools that simplify complex solar/astronomical data.

Cons

Borders/state boundaries have stopped showing in newer versions, a regression users want fixed.
Bottom controls and the date slider can be hard to use or overly sensitive.
Tablet or touch navigation can be inconsistent (swipe vs. scroll issues on some devices).
Missing features like an adjustable circle shade; users would like more customization.
Needs regular updates to maintain compatibility and address requests.
