User Reviews

Users praise the app for its rich sun-position data, intuitive visuals, and usefulness in planning solar setups and natural lighting. However, recurring issues include the absence of a direct on-screen sunpath view, missing AR features/toggles, occasional accuracy problems with dates, and some perceptions that the app doesn’t fully meet shading needs. Addressing AR, accuracy, and 3D shading previews could resolve the main concerns while preserving the strong planning benefits.

Pros

Sun position/path overlay on maps with intuitive graphics
Ton of practical, actionable solar information for amateurs and professionals
Easy to use with an intuitive interface
Very useful for planning solar setups, shading, and natural lighting
Free basic features providing good value

Cons

Lacks direct on-screen sunpath visualization for shading; relies on map trajectories or camera view instead
AR features are missing or limited (AR toggle requested; cross-platform gaps with iOS)
Occasional inaccuracies in sun positions for selected dates
Some users feel the app is crippled or not meeting their needs
Limited shading visualization/previews for realistic garden/tree/mountain shading

very handy dandy tool for solar panel positioning

I needed this app to overlay the sun path of summer and winter from the view of a shed I'm building. This app works great and the sun position matches with the actual position right now.
