Description

Helioseek tells you everything you need to know about the Sun. If you are a photographer, filming, or just looking for a new sunny picknick spot - Helioseek has got you covered.

With Helioseek‘s AR view, you quickly see the Sun‘s path throughout your day - or for any other day, if you so choose. With a single tap on the camera image, Helioseek will start reverse calculations that tell you exactly when the Sun will be at a certain spot. This is awesome if you want to take that one perfect picture, with the sun perfectly lighting up your spot. If you found a shot that you like, you can save it to view it later.

Helioseek‘s beautiful Sun Map let‘s you plan ahead for every spot on earth. You can easily see where the sun shines at any time. On top, Helioseek also shows you the Sunset, Sunrise, and the Golden and Blue Hour right on the map. Set the date with the simple slider or by using the date picker, and find out how the sunlight changes during the year - live, without any waiting times. You can quickly find any place on earth with the integrated search, and view the map in three distinct styles.

For Photographers and Videographers, sun light can be the key to gorgeous shots. The golden hour is perfect for warm, dreamy portraits. The blue hour, on the other hand, is a great time for night photography with gorgeous dark blue skies. Helioseek tells you exactly when the golden and blue hour will occur - both in the app, and with the best sun widgets in the app store. If you‘re just starting out, Helioseek includes a helpful Tutorial that tells you everything you need to know about sun light. Dive into the details as a pro, with calculated values for zenith and azimuth, and a beautiful display of how long shadows will be.

Helioseek includes six different Widgets that tell you everything you need to know about the sun - right on your home screen. Widgets show the sun‘s path, times for golden hour, sunset, and blue hour, or a gorgeous color clock.

The sun’s path and natural light have never been easier. Get Helioseek today!

Great beautiful widgets: Edit

The only thing I like to add is like the sun move during the day like every 30 minutes or 10. And add the word version of the widget as a separate one, it took me like 20 minutes to try find the word widget

Edit: Developer updated the app and it does everything better, widgets looks good, 5 stars

Hi,
With Helioseek 3, we added multiple new widgets, and made sure they are in fact represented as separate widgets. Feel free to check them out!

Almost good but still rough around the edges

This app is almost good, but it’s still rough around the edges. Among some oddities:
• The graph of the sun’s path (which you can see in the app’s third App Store screenshot) has its axes labeled using 24-hour time even though my locale doesn’t use 24-hour time.
• There’s a setting to “use current location” for the AR mode, but no such setting for the Today View widget. So if you travel a bunch for work or whatever, and if you want to use the Today View widget, I hope you like manually setting your location over and over.
• The Today View widget includes some yellow vertical lines that signify something, but it’s never explained what those yellow lines mean.

To the developer: I don’t mean to get you down with these comments, and I hope that you keep at it. With some polish, this app has the potential to be pretty good in time!

Nope

It jumps around. The time keeps changing. It is not smooth-panning.

Enjoy my $.099. App deleted.
