Pros and cons of LightTrac app for iPhone and iPad

LightTrac app good for

I might miss the possibility to take in account the shooting position, but I have been looking for similar tool, and this one seems to make the deal.

If you are house-hunting or renting a place for a vacation, you can find out exactly when and where the sun will hit that spot at any time of the year.

Vraiment l appli a avoir pour tout amoureux de la photo, pour determiner a coup sur le bon moment, le bon timing, genial, et tres simple / pratique a utiliser !!! Manque juste une fonction, determiner precisement "l heure bleue" mais je mey qd mm 5* car elle le vaut largement ! dont go out without consulting it before ! accurate and very easy to use and comprehensive to anyone. great app, as useful as a dof app to learn and prepare a shooting, well done. www.thomykeat.book.fr , the travel companion by excellence.

A great little software that works great. Helps me plan my photo shots and where to take pictures from.

... But Cache for Maps needed ! This is a App for Outdoor use so Internet isnt allways available...

Great Tool for photographers - I plan every outside-job with this tool

Some bad moments

Does not default to searching at the present location. Much worse, though, is that itll arbitrarily zoom in where you dont want it to. Whenever you dont want it to. Works well otherwise, but itll test the heck out of your patience. Seriously in need of an update.

dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento con iPhone 5 sempre in crash all’avvio.

I love this tool and rely upon it almost daily to track the sun and moon. Its ease of use and excellent screen graphics provide valuable insights and help me plan my photo shoots around those key times of day when the light is at its best. Enter any date and location and you can see the direction, angle and elevation of the light. Very valuable information to have prior to arriving at your chosen location. I give this five stars, it has earned it!

This is a great app for photography, but also for identifying where and when the sun and the moon will be rising, in general. Just tonight I looked up the moonrise to see where it would be, since it was the largest full moon last night. I regularly refer to this app for general location and direction (north, south, etc.) information, too. I highly recommend this app!

Useful in designing landscapes to get a quick check of sun angles throughout the year

Nice App. I am a hobbyist photographer and have used this app in numerous locations with great reliability and success.
