User Reviews

Reviews praise Planit Pro for its powerful sun/moon/astro planning features, Viewfinder VR, and overall usefulness, but recurring issues include iOS crashes, a subscription-heavy pricing model with gated features (notably 3D/VR), a steep learning curve, and occasional bugs or accuracy concerns.

Pros

Powerful, detailed planning tools for sun, moon, and Milky Way with time charts, maps, and a calendar.
Viewfinder VR lets you plan shots remotely and visualize results on-site.
High accuracy in planning alignments and celestial events.
Rich feature set that stands out from competitors, with helpful tutorials.
Valued by dedicated photographers who rely on precise timing.

Cons

iOS instability: frequent crashes and the app won’t open in some cases.
Subscription-based model and additional charges for features (VR/3D) can feel pricey or frustrating.
Some features are locked behind extra subscriptions (3D functionality) or paywalls.
Not intuitive UI with a steep learning curve and hidden gestures.
Occasional bugs or accuracy issues after updates.

This app was a massive game changer for me starting about 8 years ago. I started using it for astrophotography initially but rapidly started using it for landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, and even wedding and event shooting to check ideal times and location for natural lighting. The interface for the most part is intuitive, and for the areas that were not to me a few youtube videos cleared everything up. I recommend PLANIT to all of my photo students and love that whenever there is a software issue I can simply email the developer directly and it’s usually corrected within a week. Awesome app, continue the fantastic work!!

The app doesn't work properly. Offline elevation data downloads constantly fail to load. The app freezes, and the interface overlaps with the standard OS elements (the buttons in the iPhone app control area simply don't click, for example offline map download). UI/UX is just unknown words for app developers. It will be shame even for free app. Refund request sent.
