The Photographer's Ephemeris App Reviews

This app is simply the best one in its category! I was a little bit hesitant to buy because of the price but let me tell you that you will not regret it. It is very well done and very very accurate. Alain Landry

Excellent tool for becoming more efficient and effective while planning and shooting. Helps make the most of your travel time and money.

This lets me plan my shots more easily, and reduces wasted travel time, and helps me make the most of my vacation time. I have the iPad version and the free Windows desktop version and they are both good. Highly recommended. I just use the basic fetaures and I use them for planning outdoor people portraits as well as landscapes. There are some advanced features for more sophisticated users and Im sure they are even more useful for ultra-skillful landscape photographers. I also bought Bruce Percys ebook, Understanding Light With The Photographers Ephemeris, and it is a worthwhile book to own.

Very useful app with lots of functions. Makes planning easier and very easy to use

Excellent app. Never a problem (unlike some other apps).

Being a software developer myself, there are only two things I look for in an application: the ability to do the job it was purchased for and ease of use. This application seems accurate and contains a wealth of information while keeping all functionality a gesture away. Very well done!

An essential tool for landscape photography.

Excellent tool for landscape photographers. I use this app every time Im taking an outdoor photo.

TPE is, for me, an absolute essential in planning and executing almost any outdoor photography assignment. Superb!

Great tool for landscape photographers. I use it all the time when scouting for locations. You wont be disappointed.

TPE is opening up new possibilities for me to plan dramatic photos. It takes some effort to learn how to make use of the app, but then the rewards are obvious. A big time saver, too, preventing wasted outings.

But, its complicated. It doesnt easily recognize when youre in a new location.

As a realtors assistant in cottage country, my boss and hence me, is always being asked "where does the sun set/rise", "is there sun on this deck in Jan, Aug, Nov?", etc. - this app is great for this but I do find the learning curve steep for all the other features available. Still a great app and worth the money. Is it available on other platforms?

I have been using TPE for a few years and it is a must have app. Great for scouting out locations. The ability to add and save locations makes going back to favourite spots and being there for just the right light weather permitting. Only wish would be to sync and save locations on multiple devices.

Excellent app for any occasion.....especially when travelling. I use it all the time.

An essential photographer tool for sun/moon set/rise shots.

Rendered the app useless since the last update. This update did not fix the short comings of the update. Sent in screen shots of the map for my area of before and after the update to the developers very disappointed.

It took me a few minutes to orient myself to the new version, but now that Im "there" I like it even more! It seems like it has better use of limited screen real estate. It also seems to take fewer clicks to do what I want with new version - great!

I so hate this app now. Help is just gobble-dee-goop. Shadows are a joke. *Extremely* DIFFICULT to use or understand, especially compared to the earlier version. All you can do here is check sunrise and sunset and same for moon. Too difficult to use this for anything else. And a complete RIP OFF for the $10 you have to pay for this piece of crap. Not great before but it was workable. Now it is crap. I will have the find another app. Why do they always make things worse? If it was working, leave it alone.

This app made sense, before the latest update for the iPhone. Now it is a confused mess.
