About Sun Seeker - Tracker & Compass
Sun Seeker is a comprehensive solar tracking & compass app. It shows the sun’s hourly direction intervals, its equinoxes, winter & summer solstice paths, sunrise & sunset times, twilight times, shadowed periods, golden hours & more. The app allows you to add sun-event notifications & has a widget and watch app showing the day’s solar data & position on an arc. The 3D View shows the solar direction for each sunlight hour. Sun Seeker has both a flat compass view & a 3D Augmented Reality (AR) view to show the solar position & path.
The app is useful for -
▶ Photographers- to plan shoots according to the golden hour or blue hour & optimal sunlight conditions, sunrise & sunset times & directions.
▶ Cinematographers- enables you to find the solar exposure, directions, shadow, sunrise & sunset times for any location.
▶ Real Estate Buyers- can use the app before buying a property to check the sun's path & to find the solar exposure of properties.
▶ Drivers - Sun Seeker lets you track the sun path & movement during the days & helps drivers know the sun position to find how long the car will remain in the shade at any given parking spot.
▶ Campers & Picnickers- for anyone planning a day out, this app will help in finding where to camp, sit or pitch an umbrella depending on the sunlight & sun direction.
▶ Gardeners- Sun Seeker can also help with finding optimal planting locations & seasonal sunlight hours as a sunrise calendar
▶ Architects & Surveyors- for visualising the spatial variability of the solar angle throughout the year & using the compass app as a sun surveyor & calendar to determine the sunlight directions.
Main Features
* Sun Seeker is a sun locator which uses GPS, magnetometer & gyroscope to find the correct solar position & sun path for your current location.
* Flat compass view shows current solar position, diurnal solar angle & elevation (separated into day & night segments), sun shadow length ratio, atmospheric path thickness.
* 3D augmented reality (AR) camera overlay view shows the sun's current position, and it's path with hour points marked. You can scroll through time to preview changes throughout the year or day, and an optional pointer to guide you towards the current location of the sun & help you find the sun's direction.
* Map view shows solar direction arrows, sun path & elevations for each hour of the day.
* Choose any date to view sun position & path on that day. You can view sunset & sunrise times for each day as well.
* Choose any location on earth (includes 40,000+ cities or custom locations available offline, as well as a comprehensive online map search capability).
* Get additional details including sunrise, sunset & culmination times, maximum elevation, civil, nautical & astronomical twilight periods of the sun.
* Optional device notifications for all manner of sun-related periods & events, such as golden hour or blue hour, various twilight periods, or sun crossing a given compass heading or elevation.
The Sun Seeker app has been featured in numerous high-profile blogs, websites & publications, including Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Sydney Morning Herald etc. "Truly amazing", "Incredible", "Brilliant - the most genuinely useful application of augmented reality - ever!"

FAQs
* See https://bit.ly/2FIPJq2 - also easily accessible from the app's info screen
Note
* The compass accuracy depends on having an undistorted magnetic field around your device. If you use it close to metallic objects or electrical equipment, directional accuracy may be impaired. The device’s compass accuracy can be optimised by calibrating it prior to use. See app’s FAQs for more help.
