Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon)

Sun Surveyor helps photographers plan daylight and night shots using sun, moon and Milky Way positions.

Our take

Choose it to compare when and where a subject may line up with the light.

Maps, augmented-reality views and time controls let you check different dates and vantage points.

Keep in mind: Map and Street View need connectivity; verify on-site conditions and sight lines before relying on a plan.

  • Find golden hour and other event times
  • Save coordinates and import or export location files

Good for

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.
  • Map and Street View need connectivity; verify on-site conditions and sight lines before relying on a plan.

Privacy & permissions

AR uses the camera and planning can use location; shared files may reveal saved coordinates.
