Golden Hour App Reviews

All you need to plan the light for photographing !

Unfortunately this full app crashes on startup. The free "lite" one, which is great, doesnt.

Im a photographer and this is perfect for timing my sunrise and sunset shoots!! :)

When I first got this app, It would get stuck on a certain date and I couldnt do anything with it. Now, it works well and I rely on it more and more. Its especially useful when traveling.

This is great for at home or when you are traveling. I use it almost every day. I highly recommend this app for photographers! I have it on my iPod and iPad.

Should have read more carefully, but disappointed this app isn’t optimized for iPhone 5 yet. Hopefully it will be updated soon. Then 5 stars. :) Edit: Ugh, it’s not optimized for the iPad 3 either.

i use this app often, and when i do it always seems correct. im happy with mu purchase :)

Nice tool for landscape photographers. It is very helpful if you shoot at golden or blue hours. You can plan and save your time.

When you try to change date - app hangs and doesnt work anymore on iPhone 6

With a minimum of fuss

Im a pro photographer and rely on Golden Hour constantly for planning, scouting, and scheduling my photo shoots. The sun dial is especially useful when scoping out a location and seeing where the sun will be located throughout the remainder of the day. Its also ideal for planning the optimum time to photograph a location, as well.

Well, there are a lot of problems with this. To start, the Golden Hour calculation isnt accurate. Kind of defeats the purpose. I also turned off the sound because I may use this around clients, and yet it still made noise. Theres also no option to take it out of military time, and its not easy to select a date and place in the future. I hate that I spent the money on this.

... and then some. The fact that it has an exhaustive schedule of every phase of the sun doesnt obscure its ease of use. Very well put together.

I use it 100% of the time I shoot.

Wasted my money. Limited areas to go to. They dont even have my town which is in Florida where sunsets and sunrises are very important. Very lame. Dont buy. Tried to go to yellowstone n.p. But forget it even Jackson hole isnt in it. Lame lame lame!!!!!

This tool really helps me plan my shoots, especially when Im shooting in an unfamiliar location. I find I get more quality shots per outing after using this ap.

I think its a tad too pricey for what it does. All you need to know is the sunrise and sunset times in your area to know when the golden hour is. Why they charge 5 bucks for this is beyond me. .99 or even $1.99 is more like it for this app.

Refreshingly straightforward app--communicates sun position info intuitively--give it a look and a tap or two and you know when to get out into the light. Dont forget your tripod.

Perfect for what it does. Bookmark coordinates for your favorite locales or for travel destinations. Tap to quickly determine Golden Hour for where you are, and plan ahead. Excellent graphics, easy to use.

helped me get an understanding of how to use the golden hour
