LightTrac Reviews

This is a great little app and I have been using it for a couple of years. Unfortunately, the Help feature no longer works, it goes to a website that doesn’t exist anymore. It looks like the last update was at least a year ago, so I’m guessing this is nearing the end of life. I will have to start looking for something else. :(

Update - I still really like LightTrac and its simplicity. I have all the other more expensive and complex apps, but I still visit this one first. My previous comments still apply, it would be nice to see a few changes:

Still worth it. But would benefit from having buttons, such as locations, more intuitive. Interface still a little clunky and doesn’t seem to take full advantage of later iOS versions. I would be willing to buy it again, I’ve had LightTrac since my first iPad (1).

This is a great app for anyone who needs to know where the sun (or moon) will be at any given time. It is pricey though, so there should be better support. Better instructions for using LightTrac on its homepage or even video tutorials are the least the developers should do. I upgraded to this app from using the free SunCalc website and am glad I did!

This is a easy tool for the user to plan those stunning photographs! Making memories with LightTrac is simple, straightforward and a snap. No matter what you're taking pictures with they will be better with this app!

I've found LightTrac easy to use and exceptionally accurate. It has really helped me in my photography when I'm trying to figure out the best time to revisit a location for better lighting.

I love LightTrac. 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 LightTrac to anyone who is looking for an app to help them while chasing the light. Day or night!

The way in which the solid and moving lines show on the map makes it so easy for everyone to visualize exactly where the sun will be at any given time.

Highly recommended!

I wish I had LightTrac years ago! I’ve saved a lot of guess work on photographic assignments since I purchased it. Well done and accurate. I did a job for an architectural firm at multiple locations around the state and LightTrac was a life saver.

LightTrac gives a dependable answer to the question “Where will the sun be at the date, time, and place I want to know about?” Good GUI, fast, accurate, never crashes. Perfect for my niche in photography.

We use LightTrac for a quick and accurate view to determine new home design aspects. Have used it for years and has proven to be the best for orientation purposes. I felt guilty to not have provided this review prior but better late than never! Thanks to the developers.

this app 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 this app”!

LightTrac helps me with my planning. Many times I'm several miles away from my the area I want to shoot. LightTrac helps me figure the best times to shoot. Works great when trying to determine the best day to photograph the moon especially when you want a certain composition.

This is a really useful app. I find my self using it almost for every shoot. Especially when I am not familiar with area I am going to shoot in .... knowing where the light is going to be at a specific time for a specific location is priceless.

I have been a large format photographer for almost 20 years and found LightTrac to be very helpful in planning my photo shoots....it not only gives you information about the sun's position, but also moon info...and satellite shots so you can anticipate your day (or evening)

Know exactly when, and in what direction, the sun and moon will rise and set. I am amateur photographer, and I like early morning shots when on vacation. Also sunsets. Can plan my day knowing where I have the cleanest shots, what time I have to be there, and knowing where the light is coming from.

this app is a very useful application that we use in our business to help us with locating Solar arrays. In just a few minutes we can determine the best location for the system throughout the year. LightTrac is also very useful in planning photo shoots for best light. Thank you this app for making my job easier. E Hill, CEO Mechanical and Electrical Contractor.

This is an excellent tool to track the location of the sun or moon at a particular location for different days of the year. I have several locations saved so I can easily check the changing light. The information about the moon phases is also very helpful. I wouldn’t be without LightTrac.

One of my top most indispensable apps. Extremely user-friendly with a simple clean interface that gives you tons of information. Must have for photography. Great for previewing lighting on any day and time. Also great for earth science and showing how the seasons change the lighting.

I use this app to see where the sun is and at what angle for photo shoots at different times of the day. It has definitely helped with the planning. I have also used it when family members were going to build a house and hey wanted to see where the sun would be at various times of the year.

I’ve used LightTrac to schedule portrait sessions at outdoor locations since it came out. Even for locations I know well, hitting a peak light time is tricky. LightTrac makes the process easier.
