Sun Scout for Negative User Reviews
✓ Needs fine tuningI am a gardener and knowing where sun and shade is a tricky business. The concept and interface of this app is great, but the accuracy needs lots of work..Version: 0
✓ Needs calibration adjustmentI like the ease of use. Simple for what it is intended. I think $10 is a bit too high for allowing only 1 function. Another app like star wall has similar function with AR view and offers much more other info. The sun position does not quite align with my view. I think if a calibration tool exists it would be much better. Something like you move the overlay sun to where the sun actually is and hit calibrate.... Does not work with ios13. Please update..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Doesn’t work in LondonDoesn't work in the London for me at all, nothing comes up, strange..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Used to love it but now it crashesAs a camera man in TV, this became an incredibly useful app for me. However, now every time I open it, it just freezes and I have to force a shut down of my phone. Very frustrating..Version: 1.1
✓ Not working on iOS 4.3I bought this app last week to help me with my photography. The app worked great and I was really pleased with it. Upgraded to iOS 4.3 today and not only does the app lock up, the phone has to be restarted. Please release an updated version asap.Version: 1.1
✓ Was perfect, but now...Now, suddenly A piece of useless crap. Displays the sun at your feet,Obviously a quirk but renders this APP completely useless. Was recently completely embarrassed at a wedding as I "whipped out my handy app"... Yeah/not so much....Time to hunt for another and spread the word about this one.Version: 1.4.0
✓ DONT WASTE YOUR MONEYThis app just does not work. Position of the sun just moves around as you move the phone. Doesn't tell you anything..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Sun’s path isn’t showingI was so excited to use this to scout locations for photography but the app doesn’t work at all. Waste of $10. The app just opens my camera but doesn’t show the sun or the sun’s path at all. Just a regular camera screen. I tried calibrating and deleted and reinstalled the app. Still not working..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Needs More Features for the PriceIt's great at what it does, but it's a one trick pony. I'd like to see the ability to enter in a date manually. Also, it should indicate the Golden Hour, not just say where the sun will be when..Version: 1.2
✓ Death by OS9This app was outstanding in all respects on my old iPhone 5. Since that phone died and I switched to a 6, the app is a complete joke. Nothing about it works; time to throw it away. Sad-- this app kept us from making some costly mistakes on video and photo shoots back in the days when it worked. Can anyone recommend an alternative?.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Death by iOS 9Great app in iOS 8. iOS 9 makes the sun just spin and never stop and tell you where it actually is. I hope it gets fixed!!.Version: 1.4.0
✓ Looks like the endI’ve been using this app for years and it’s always worked well for me... until today. I just got an iPhone 11 Pro and iOS 13 and it looks to be the end of the line for the app. No updates for some time and it just doesn’t work anymore. It opens but no sun appears in the AR tracker. Too bad! But I’m glad I had years of use out of it..Version: 1.4.1
✓ TerribleDoesn’t even work.Version: 1.4.1
✓ AwfulSuch a waste of money. After hearing reviews from somebody on Instagram about this app I decided to buy it. Completely worthless I get more out of the Sun Seeker app for less money. Not being able to choose locations or a specific date makes this useless for me. At such a steep price for an app I would have expected a lot more..Version: 1.5.0
✓ WORKS, BUT ONLY FOR DATES OF THEIR CHOOSINGTheir website FAQ says: "Does Sun Scout let me see the sun for days other than today? Absolutely. You can tell Sun Scout the date in the year that you are interested in. You can't yet set a specific custom date, but we expect to add this as a feature provided there is demand." SO, I'm confused…You CAN tell it the date you're interested in (HOW?), BUT YOU CANNOT YET SET A SPECIFIC DATE. ???? And: $9.99 is WAY too expensive and they say you should calibrate it every day..Version: 1.4.1
✓ ProducerThere are no instructions how to use this app - waste of time & money Walk away fast from this joke !.Version: 1.2
✓ Neglected app. No longer worksI sense this app is no longer supported by the creator. It stopped working correctly a few years ago and hasn’t been close to accurate since. Do not buy.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Didn't realiseI hadn't appreciated that this app only works for your current location. This should be much clearer in the description. It's not able to predict the sun in any other place than the one you're in when you're using it. So you can't use it until you're actually standing where you need to know the sun is. No advance planning therefore is possible. Yet I bought it to use it for making advance plans. Plus you have to have an ipad that can roam. An ipad such as mine that only works using wifi is pretty useless of course..Version: 1.2
✓ Keeps spinningEvery time I use this app it just spins and spins. My compass on my phone works perfect but the sun in this app just spins in circles every time. Sorry. I’m sure it works for others but it never works for me going to try to get a refund.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Not accurate at allI tried it and blew my sunrise and sunset shot completely, waste of money.Version: 1.2
✓ Not Working!This app does not work on the iphone XS Max. Is it anyway to fix this?.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Does not workIPhone 6splus on iOS 9 and it doesn't work at all. Should be pulled from the App Store.. Wish I could give it zero stars. Waste of $10.Version: 1.4.0
✓ App not working anymoreThe app is not working anymore, I’ve tried to calibrate it several times but will not show any sun direction. Also there is to app support or contact info..Version: 1.4.1
✓ App hasn’t worked in months!!I bought this app months ago and for the first month or so it worked perfectly. Then all of a sudden it hasn’t worked at all. I’ve waited for months and have done multiple updates for this and my phone and it still doesn’t work. It won’t let me contact anyone to resolve this situation. so I basically paid $10 for an app that no longer works. Do not waste your time with this app..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Needs workPotentially a very useful app, but needs improvement. "Time line" seems to be consistently about 1:30 earlier than actual time. Sun postions on screen do not coincide with actual sun position at a given time. And yes, I did calibrate before using the app..Version: 1.1
✓ BrokenNot working. It mentions it in the title but I missed it. I hope it is fixed soon. Suppressed apple let this through as you have to restart you device because you can't exit the app.Version: 1.1
✓ Neat but needs workWorks nice but has too many shortcomings for what it costs. Other apps do similar. NEEDS the option to enter any date/time I want and enter locations other than useless north or south pole. Adding the moon should also happen As is it's too expensive..Version: 1.2
✓ Outdated … No Longer WorksThis app was fine but no longer works in OS9. There is no support nor any way to get in touch with the developer to know if an update is coming or if it has been discontinued..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Something is missing for the priceIt a really great app but it is overpriced. If you could see with clouds or is it a shiny day or raining would be better because I plan my shoots and mostly when it is a little bit cloudy or sunny but you can’t see at which time is it cloudy at the app at the weather app you can see it. Hope you guys do a update with these features. Kind regards.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Was useful, now brokenPlease make it compatible with iPhone 6s. So many complaints, no visible feedback..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Wow, what?Worked fine on one film production - slightly off sometimes but still helpful. Now, it always says it has interference, and then crashes my phone..Version: 1.1
✓ Not Accurate At All – And Developer has Abandoned this AppThere needs to be some sort of calibration setting to help make it accurate. Even with location services and Precise Location enabled, the detection of the sun is way off. This is more of a ballpark estimate than it is anything concrete / accurate. I would have hope that this would be fixed / improved upon, but it looks like the last update was over two years ago; so I think the developer has given up on this app. Save your money..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Waste of money.Doesn't work!! Sun keeps moving on screen so it doesn't tell you exactly what you need to know!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Loved this app until iOS 9 killed itToo bad it isn't getting updated any longer....Version: 1.4.0
✓ Very inaccurate when needed mostI could have really used this two days ago, but it insisted the sun was nowhere near the bright glowing object in the sky. It eventually got close enough to take an amusing screenshot showing a very wrong track. Google maps and another GPS app had me located perfectly, BTW, so it wasn't GPS error, just a bad app..Version: 0
✓ Doesn’t work on iPhone SESimply doesn’t work. AR never shows up. Would like a refund, or some kind patch..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Horrifically Overpriced And LimitedFor $9.99 this app is severely over priced for the extremely limited functionality it offers. You cannot check specific dates. It only offers today and then its own selections; next month, next week etc. Very poor. Also the locations selection is a joke. It will either allow current location, or, get this; north pole, south pole and the equator! Okay! Next time I find myself at the South Pole I will whip out my iPhone and be glad I spent 10 bucks on such a useless app..Version: 1.2
✓ Good app but needs improvementsI would give this app 5 stars if: - I could select exact geographical region via google maps - I could select exact date instead of being limited to the 15th of each month - there was numerical information regarding the angle of the sun and compass direction. Another great idea would be a favourites log to save ideal lighting conditions for specific areas. And perhaps an alert/alarm to remind you when ideal times approach..Version: 1.2
✓ No longer worksUsed to work but now just get a message saying needs to grant camera and location access. Location is set to use. No longer shows in camera settings. Requires developer update..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Stopped workingExpensive app that the maker has neglected with new iOS updates. Feeling ripped off..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Don't Buy ,Does not workDo not buy until they get this bug fixed.Version: 1.1
