User Reviews

Users praise Helios for its elegant design and strong planning tools that help photographers pinpoint golden/blue hours across locations, with a useful light meter and clear hour ranges. It is widely used by professionals for planning shoots over years. Recurring concerns focus on time-zone/time display inconsistencies and various reliability issues across updates, plus several feature requests (calendar sync, widgets, AM/PM grouping) that would enhance workflows.

Pros

Elegant, clean design and reliable planning of golden and blue hour times across locations, helping photographers plan outdoor shoots.
Built‑in light meter and photography tools that aid exposure planning.
Clear display of blue and golden hour time ranges for easy scheduling.
Widely used by professional photographers for years, indicating reliability and value.

Cons

Time zone handling is inconsistent: local times are not always shown by default and some locations display incorrect golden hour times.
Bugs and compatibility issues reported across updates (launch blank screen, stuttering, unusable Apple Watch app, AR tools not working after iOS 18).
Multiple users request additional features (calendar integration, widgets, AM/PM grouping, expanded light-meter controls) that remain unaddressed.

I really like the gorgeous, clean design, and it’s super helpful for pinpointing exactly when the golden and blue hours are going to happen, no matter where I am. It makes planning my outdoor shots simple.

I’ve been a fan of this app for 8 years or so. For some reason, I am getting a blank screen when I open it today. Putting up this review, hoping to get the attention of someone who can fix that.
