Golden Hour One for Negative User Reviews
✓ Money grabPaid for this app when it was new, now it wants me to pay a monthly subscription for increased accuracy. Nope. I’ll use a competitor..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Used to be goodThis app used to be a great app to quickly check the predictions for sunrise and sunset and give you a fair bit of detail but after the recent update the Dark Sky thing has been introduced and the more detailed sunrise/set has gone. E.g. used to be weak high clouds instead of just cloudy. Really disappointed with the update. Just making users pay more for the Dark Sky features..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Internet requiredI pull this app out most often while in the wilderness, and it doesn't work there because it requires internet. This app is basically one large math equation that should be able to run on the iPhone. Even a slightly less accurate "offline mode" would be better than it's current broken form..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Keep crashingI don’t know why now the app doesn’t work anymore.... Sad cause until now was a very good app..Version: 2.2.1
✓ So buggy on iPhone XIt’s almost not usable at all, it doesn’t score right there’s huge black bars of the top in the bottom, it’s super frustrating. Definitely not worth four dollars. If I could get my money back I would..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Always incorrect about cloud dataI have set alarms to be up for what should be an amazing photo according to this app but once you get outside the sky is clear with no clouds. Besides that it’s other features are good not that you need them other than the clock. Disappointed I purchased the full version tbh..Version: 2.1.2
✓ I love this app!This app has proved itself to be very useful. I've lost count of how often I have wasted my time and energy to get to a location to shoot a sunrise or sunset only to be let down by a boring sky. This app won't guarantee you a great shot, but it will greatly improve your odds. I highly recommend. My only question is: how do you generate revenue, with no IAPs and no ads? Update: lowering my review. Too many times I’ve left my camera at home because this app said “forget it. Overcast” only to find stunning clouds filling the sky. My window would be a better predictor if there wasn’t a giant tree in front of it..Version: 1.3.0
✓ IOS 13 - Constant CrashesWell, it was good but no fix for the constant crashes in iOS 13. The app will not even open..Version: 2.2.1
✓ IrritatingCloses itself consistently whilst I’m trying to use it. LooooooooNg ting....Version: 2.2.1
✓ Needs work...The app is great for the purpose of knowing time frames for shooting during the golden or blue hours, but the Weather feature needs more work. I've tested it against my subscription with Skyfire and found significant discrepancies. So far GoldenHour predicted great light and sky on two different sunrises that were both flat wrong. This morning in particular, it predicted sky to be a 10, when in fact the sky barely had any color at all. That said, I still believe the app to be useful and hope the developers are able to improve upon its weather feature as the app matures. I know it's possible to get more accurate predictions of sky conditions because SkyFire has proven itself to be a more accurate predictor. This app is on its way to being a 5 star app, buts it's not there yet. User interface is well designed. Expect this app will get even better with time..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Nice butNot a bad app. Good idea, nice interface, but the date is wrong. It keeps insisting that the current date is one day behind. I can set the date I want to use, but how could it be so wrong? My phone has the correct date, do something is wrong with this app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Seems good but.........the date being off by a day adds confusion and uncertainty..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Meh. Middle of the road...Clock works great. Displaying Blue Hour and Golden Hour is great. The map function and setting locations is fantastic. The weather portion of the app? Not so much. I live in Colorado; more specifically, high sierra landscape and mountain views persist all around. Because of our unique location we get MANY high pressure systems with clouds ranging from trace to copious. Yet, as I marvel at the high cloud accumulation, and dial up the weather portion of this app-it leaves me wondering where they get the info from. I've traveled 3 hours based upon forecasts this app has put out only to be left frustrated. I wanted to trust it and not the weather service or Dark Skies. No can do. Been duped by it three times and won't do it again. Missed many opportunities to take some great shots. Went expecting great shots only to be exposed to open skies with no cloud cover. The developer sells this based on 100% functionality. All aspects. No can do. Either remove the weather portion or improve it and I'll rewrite the review. I want this to be my one and only "go to" app. As of this review, it's one of five frustrating tools I have to use to extrapolate..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Good idea but constantly crashesGood idea for app but constantly crashes when change location in app to point where app is unusable. Hopefully will be updated soon..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Helpful but needs more explanationThis is a well organized and well designed app that shows an array of helpful information for the photographer. However, it makes assumptions that the user would already know how to make the most of its features when it should take the approach of trying to help the user as best it can. For example, the joyride explains the sky and light indices however there is no resource for the user to remind themselves of what those features mean outside of the joyride. Secondarily, the scoring system is not defined—how am I, the user, to interpret a sky index of 8 versus 6, for instance? Furthermore, its additional features are again not defined. What is the target on the map? Why is it positioned where it is? Am I to go there for the best possible photo? Best photo according to what metric? The developer would also do well to ask themselves how they can best set the user up for success. What are the definitions of the terms within the app? How am I, the user, to compare one index to another? How can I best use the map to my advantage? What can I look for in the weather integration to maximize my success? Overall, this app is a well-designed start to a truly useful app. But to get there it needs to consider the user in addition to just providing data for data’s sake..Version: 2.1.2
✓ RemindersThe reminders have to be set everyday. The app is not programmed to have the reminders automatically remind you everyday, you literally have to log into the app and scroll to each individual day..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Not actually included in the bundle purchaseReplying to the Dev: So … when I paid for the bundle, which included this app, I got the free version of this app not the full version! I’m pretty sure that’s what I said. That’s up to you, but it’s not what I expected when buying the “bundle”. ===[ original review ]=== I bought the bundle of three apps, which included this one, but it’s still asking me to upgrade. That’s up to the dev I guess, but it’s a bit confusing to include it in a bundle purchase if the purchase doesn’t apply to all apps in that bundle..Version: 2.6.2
✓ Just makes up numbersIt must randomly make up scores for sunrise and sunset. Dumb..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Good appWould be great though if it would also show the sun and moon path in relation to your position..Version: 2.0
✓ Needs update.I have an iPhone X. Please update for compatibility..Version: 1.3.0
