About this app

Sun Position shows you sunrise and sunset times, as well as the milky way, solar, and lunar path on an augmented reality camera view. Its handy data screen also gives you other useful information including moon rise/set times, golden hour and twilight times, and moon phase information. This data can be used for planning photography shoots as well as photographing the night sky.

The app has a map view which plots the daily sun and moon path relative to your current location. It also contains a widget for your home screen showing sunrise/set times for the current day and your current location.

This app is a demo of the full version of Sun Position, which is restricted to showing you sun position data only for the current day. To view data for any day of the year see our full Sun Position app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andymstone.sunposition).

- Plan a photography shoot - know in advance exactly when and where sunrise and sunset will be
- Interested in astrophotography? The app will tell you when the milky way will be most visible
- Viewing a potential new home? Use this app to find out when you'll get sun in your kitchen.
- Planning a new garden? Find out which areas will be the most sunny, and which areas are likely to be in shade throughout the day
- Getting solar panels? Check whether nearby obstructions will be a problem.

It does exactly what you need. The sun & moon positions are accurately overlaid onto satellite ground maps (if you want) & it's easy to drop a pin wherever you want to see where each rise or set. Great for planning photography trips for the best golden/blue hour shots. If there could be one improvement it would be the ability to swipe the map up or down with 2 fingers to go into/out of a 3D view.

Great Little app which I use to know length of sunlight in a day and phase of the moon at night. Only feature I'd like to see is a calendar where you could look forward to see, for instance, next full moon or when daylight will be 12 hrs, etc.

I love having this functionality. I use it for camping to find a good spot for my tent. I sometimes use it when doing little garden design jobs or furniture placement.

What’s new

We have added new milky way data to the path, map, and data screens. This should help with planning night time photography shoots.

We hope that you like these changes. If you have any questions or suggestions you can get in contact at support@stonekick.com.
