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.

For more information on the data included in Sun Position see our blog post:

Extremely useful w/ missing features keeping it from 5/5. I use the free one for location scouts, and the precise data is invaluable for pre-pro. I'd 100% purchase if a few things were addressed: 1) The app header takes up a ton of space in the AR when in landscape, blocking ⅓ of the image. 2) I need to be able to capture full AR paths in a single image; ideally by stitching in app, but even the option to use the wide lens for a better view would be a help. Thanks for all your hard work!

A basic app that displays sun and moon information for the current day. To the developers: please reconfigure the "sun/moon detailed data" widgets to show data in two separate columns to save home screen space. Currently, if I configure my widget to display only four data points, the widget size must be exanded to ⅓ of the page. Also, it would be great if the widget could update to display the next day's dawn and sunrise times directly following the current day's dusk time. Please consider!

Fantastic app! I live in my RV full time and I move around a lot. I use this app every time I get to a new location to find the sunniest spot (or shadiest). The free version is fine for me, but if you want to check the sun position on any day of the year, you need to get the paid version. I would do this if I was considering buying a house, for example.

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.
