One most used photography apps on iPad
Miketrippphotography

Use this to find sun up or moon locations when scouting places for pictures. It is amazing how fast the sun sets if you are in the wrong position. Great app!


Excellent app.
charleslwilsonphotography

I love this app. I use it all the time in my photography work. I count on it to show me exactly where the sun or moon will be exactly any place I am. It works great. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is looking for an app to help them while chasing the light. Day or night!


Essential photography tool
HelpMeRandy

For more than two years I’ve used LightTrac for every location shoot I do. Successful shoots are about good planning and this app does exactly what it’s supposed to do.


Crap! Not worth $5.00!!
Katiej7

Can’t look at multiple locations. It only shows your current gps location. I want my money back.


Works great

Works as promised


The Best by far!
Capt. Alan

LightTrac is by far the best way for anyone who wants to envision, actually see, and follow all the details of how the sun effects your home, vacation place, sailboat, or anywhere as the Sun rises in the east (in precise degrees on compass), elevates in degrees, during the day, sets, and the duration of various models of darkness. For anyone interested in the place and environment on land or sea, “Don’t leave home without LightTrac”! Alan from Maine home and waters


Fantastic

When taking sunrise or sunset shots, I always check LightTrac, to see which is the best angle. This app is a must have


Light track app
from Tommy J

If your an out door photographer you really need this app . Always know where the light is coming from or going to . Perfect, planning, prevents, poor performance.


Simple and easy to use
Gypsybee

Simple and easy to use, wouldn’t do photo shoots outdoors without first checking the location with this app.


just love it .. plan all my field work
Wetlandmapper

delineating wetlands and keying out wet soils requires good light .. i use this app to plan all my field work. it a pleasure to know what to expect the sun light to be like ahead of time.
