  • Sun position App for Android 'phone.

    I'm looking for an Android App that will show me the position of the Sun at any time of the day anywhere.

    Do any users here have experience with with such and can recommend a good one. I'm not looking for any free Ad filled item, but rather for a decent paid one.

    Many thanks in advance for answers.

    I use SkySafari and SkyView. They were both free on Android.

      Downwind Dec go raibh maith agat Declan mo chara. Thank you very much Declan my friend.

      That App didn't show in my search results but judging by the positive reviews it looks to be just what I'm looking for to use during my holiday next month in Cannes.

      The learning curve mentioned by a few users is something that makes me cautious, I like things to be as easy to use as possible. 🤓

        Tá fáilte romhat! Indeed, like a lot of similar apps, it is very feature-dense. Sitting down to master all of it will melt your head. The best approach is to start with just the functionality you need for a specific task, and only master features you'll actually use. They do create a lot of helpful tutorial videos and, if I remember correctly, written ones too. I'm an infrequent user, and find myself going back to their videos.
        I also have the Photographer's Ephemeris, which is often praised in reviews, but I've never really dug into it. PhotoPills seemed to suit me better.

      blu-by-u the main thing putting me off free Apps is the amount of Ads popping up all the time.

        You can use the SkySafari Pro. It's a paid version without the ads. It's in Version 7 now. It does not have as much as photopills but a lot easier to use.
