About Sunshine Compass - Sun Path

Sunshine Compass calculates the sun positions of today and visualizes them in an amazing Augmented Reality (AR) view. The integrated True North compass is easy to use and helps you to orient yourself.

Additional features:
✔ View the sunrise, sun transit, and sunset of today.
✔ View the sun positions of the shortest and longest day of the year.
✔ Automatically detects and shows your current location (latitude, longitude, and altitude).

NEW:
☀ Widget for your home screen showing the sunrise, sun transit, and sunset times of today. Add a widget by long-pressing on a blank space on your home screen (newer Android versions), or on the app launcher icon (older Android versions).

Useful for:
☀ Find out where and when to watch the sunrise or sunset.
☀ Plan building your house or examine your new potential home. When does the sun shine through each window or onto your future terrace?
☀ Plan a photo shoot. When is the sun at a specific point?
☀ Plan an event like a wedding or a garden party: How to set up the tables and seats or the stage for the band?
☀ Go camping: How can you park your caravan or mobile home or set up your tent in the best place to get most or least of the sun?
☀ Install your solar panels smartly: In which position do they produce the most energy?
☀ Find out how to arrange your new plants in the garden.

Keep your orientation with the compass while trekking, biking, running, hiking, sailing in all kinds of weather and terrains like mountains, forests, lakes, in downtown areas or in the wilderness.

Sunshine Compass is interesting for real estate agents/brokers, photographers, architects, home builders, homebuyers, event managers, rangers, construction workers, facility managers, farmers, foresters, gardeners, interior designers, sunbather, sun worshipers, tourists, campers, and many others.

Please note that Sunshine Compass is limited by the integrated sensors of your Android device. Some devices may not have sensors with a satisfying accuracy. Sensors may be disturbed by objects nearby. You usually get the most accurate results when you are outdoor.

Love the app - but noticed recently the degree headings are WAAAY off. And change drastically (by like 100deg) if you flip from portrait to landscape. Then when flip back, not even repeatable, off again by 60deg. Like it's losing compass calibration, or worse just assigning random heading direction. WTH is going on?

Even though I have it on auto rotation screen I don't get accurate location reading from the app and I don't have to update the app because haven't been told to and also check on my own.

Was looking for a widget that showed the sun transit time, sifted through tonnes of apps on Play Store, but only this has that feature. Was 3 stars before, but the tap issue was fixed, so 5 stars now

Seems to be a great, easy to use app. The location based AR. Sun path appears to be correct. It accurately calculated the current location Of the Sun and The summer and winter solstices seem to be in alignment with my previous observations. Thank you to the developer for making it straightforward.
