Spectacular
It is spectacular. The best I’ve ever seen.

★★★★★

It’s an efficient app that’s easier to use than other applications. When searching for a home, I check exposure over the whole year.

★★★★★
Very good app for wild animals photography
Very good app for planning the best place to photograph wild animals based on the position of the sun. Even before you set off on your journey and for places you haven’t been yet.

★★★★★
Great app for a pet photographer!
Thanks so much!

★★★★★
Best app to know where the sun is 👍
I’ve tried many similar app but SunQuest is the best.

★★★★★
Top-notch application!
Easy and very user-friendly application. I’m currently looking for an apartment and I can see at a glance the exposure of all the rooms throughout the year. During a visit, it helped me realize that a nearby building was hiding the sun all afternoon in the living room in winter, even though it faces southwest. I use it now for every visit 🙂

★★★★★
I highly recommend
I have been using SunQuest for one month to map sun position to see when I get the maximum solar irradiance on my PV panels. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to understand how the sun changes its path throughout the year.

★★★★★
Great app
Incredibly accurate, very easy to use, I recommend it 100% and congratulations to the developers.

The Best iPhone Apps You Don’t Know About 

SunQuest should be very useful for many of you. It allows you to know the position of the sun at a specific place and time.

It’s incredibly helpful for certain professions or hobbies such as gardeners, architects, real-estate agents, and also if you’re planning to buy a house or apartment.

The app provides a whole range of useful and practical data.

For me, the best feature of this app is the ability to display the sun’s position on a map based on the selected time.
