Magic Hour App Reviews

Great app

Could use other locations search, quicker updating etc.

Great App

Simple and to the point!

This app is amazingly helpful

As a photographer, magic hour is beautiful we know that, but were taught that magic hour is simply the house before sunset and this app shows that isnt true. This app has figured out when exactly the beautiful light is out and how long it will last. Worth it in my opinion to have a little reminder when you should check out your window wherever you are to see the beauty of nature painting on the earth.

Love it!

Simple, accurate, well designed app.

Fantastic App, Except For A Couple Things...

This has got to be one of my favorite apps, of all time! However, I keep wishing it would also tell me when Magic Hour is over. Not a problem, not even a big deal. Just would be nice My other issue is that there doesnt seem to be a good way of contacting the developers, except by Twitter, a Blog that doesnt post my messages, or a review here. (If they read any of these.) Still, its got a permanent place on my short list of favorite apps.

Great Resource

I use this app regularly to get up and get going when I hike or bike and want to time it with the sunrise. One of my favorite apps!

Very useful

A fantastic app! Must have for photographers.

Helps create dreamy photos

I adore this app. I love that it tells me exactly when magic hour begins & ends (and gives me the duration that it lasts as well). If youre an event photographer, this app is indispensable. The two improvements that would make this app perfect are 1. The ability to see other locations. 2. The ability to look ahead and see when the magic hour is going to be for a particular date. Both of those improvements would make my life as an event photographer so much easier. (Its still an amazing tool, even w/out those upgrades).

Love this app!

It makes just looking for the magic hour fun!

Very detailed awesome app

Love that this app gives you additional information such as the window gap you have before the actual sunset. I have noticed this to be very accurate. The one thing that sets me off and I would like the developer to consider is that the app is not very pleasing visually. Minor problem but please seriously consider fixing. Otherwise it is better than any other similar app Ive seen.

Love. It.

Guys, we all know that as a photographer we obsess over that lovely golden light when we take photos in the early morning and at golden hour. Previously, I have personally tried to judge when the optimal time to shoot was based on purely my own judgement, which would cause me to miss the best moments at times. This app makes it easy to know when that perfect time frame is to shoot. I love it!

Why does it need location access all the time?

I like this app. But I really dislike that it requires device location even when off.

Amazing

Cant wait to use it. Such a convenient app

Very well thought-out tool

I use it for photography and videography. Helps me plan for the most dramatic light. Looks like it was designed by photographers for photographers. New update is much appreciated!

A must for photographers and nature lovers!

As a photographer, this app has improved my photography to another level by pin pointing the exact time and duration of the "golden hour". *update* glad you guys added the "locations" feature! Love you guys!

Useful

Useful simple reminders for sunset golden hour. I suggest also adding reminders for moonrise and moonset, maybe only silent or if during certain hours youd be awake anyway. Dont want to be woken for 3am moonrise, but want to know if its close to sunset for example. Similarly alert for full moon etc would be nice.

Photo person

An absolute must have! Very accurate and reliable for finding good light.

limited usage now

When they updated the app, they removed the ability to look at the magic hour for other locations unless you pay $0.99. This is pretty infuriating considering you could access that feature previously -- way to alienate your long time users. Add other cool features for pay; dont take them away!

Locations is a new feature, stresscarrot

Locations is brand new, no free features were taken away, plus weather and moon were added for all. We would never remove features from our users. That is not our style.

Impressive!

From design to layout, images, content, EVERYTHING Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, simple & informative.
