    This app has done so much for understanding of the design and layout of our new construction retirement home. To understand what you can experience before you start laying out your walls is a game changer! Thank you for this tool 😎

    This app is incredible. Without any setup, you can jump right into the AR view, walk up to any window or living space in an apt or house and see exactly where you’ll have sun at any given time of the day and how it changes throughout the time of year. Top down overlay view onto gmaps is also awesome!! 100% worth the $10!

    I just showed this app to my real estate buddy, and he says he will point the app at the window, and the app tells him what time of day to bring the client — because the sun will be coming through at that very time. And he says, he knows what time to come back to take pictures of the home for a real-estate listing, because he knows what time of day the sun will come through which window, absolutely amazing.
