As a photographer, I use this to help see where the sun placement is for future photoshoots. It also helps me see when the sun is going to be up on certain days.

I am a student pilot and use this app to plan flights and lessons. The FAA has three, different definitions of "night" and this app allows me to easily see what the times for sunrise, sunset, and the end of civil twighlight will be in the future. It's very simple and quick to get the info I need.

Not entirely accurate. I used the map with sun overlay, to line up the perfect sunrise photo, with a distant lighthouse, the sun came up out the sea, and I had to walk south a few minutes to get the shot I had planned. The times were accurate, but not the direction. Editor response- Nothing to do with my compass because I wasn't using it, I'm using the lines drawn on the map in 2D mode.
