Nice and simple
mrcrabbster

While I have other apps that can do the same thing, they also have a ton of other features; and I find myself not looking to those apps for golden hour times. Probably because it's not a quick and easy look. This one; however, allows me to monitor the golden hour more closely, and I like that I can set alarms to alert me so I don't miss golden hour.


Beautifully simple

A beautifully simple app that provides great functionality for the two times of day with gorgeous light.


Great investment for traveling photographers!

First of all I love app. It's clean, very helpful and it's the easiest way to take better photos because you put your subject in the best light right away. When booking clients locally and out of state it's the fastest way to get sunrise and sunset times as well as magic (golden) hours. When booking weeks, months or more than a year in advance you can get times sorted. Very helpful. Here is the best part...I emailed them with a few suggestions and they not only responded, but used an idea. They actually are real people behind this and I support this super helpful and handy app.


Simple and extremely useful for photographers

And the widget is pretty. What more can you ask for?


Useless
finance101

Search location function does not work. You can view a map but clicking on it does not bring you there. No way to change location. Waste of money. Please refund me.


Can't find location
Roscop

Useless without the ability to find my location. Got the app Golden Hour and got location with no problem. I'm sure it works for some but not all.


Awesome!

Very Useful App!!
LovelyUI

Simple and Straightforward. Just what I need.  Watch app is beautiful.


Great for amateur photographers!

I have no regrets purchasing this app whatsoever. As an amateur photographer, it's great to know what time and positioning the sun is: the simple and clean layout provides plenty! The one thing I'd like to add is that I wish there was more consideration taken to topographical locations. I live in an area with lots of huge hills, so the timing is different depending on where you are. I know it's not an app like the Photographer's Ephemeris, but that would be really nice.


This is going to be great!
Mayasommer

This app is very clean and well-integrated with iOS. I'm excited to use it daily!
