FAQ

Good to know

Do I need an account?
No. The app works without an account. We never see your name, your email or your location. The app only sends anonymous usage counts, explained in the privacy policy. A membership is linked to your Apple Account, like any App Store purchase, so there is still nothing to sign up for.
How does it know a hill blocks the sun?
The app downloads real elevation data, the height of the land (Terrain Tiles on AWS Open Data, the Tilezen/Mapzen dataset). For the date you pick, it follows the sun's path across the sky and checks, minute by minute, if a hill stands between the sun and your point. In cities it also loads building shapes from OpenStreetMap, so streets and rooftops are checked the same way as hills.
How do I cancel or restore a purchase?
Your subscription is in your Apple account: open Settings → your name → Subscriptions to cancel. If you reinstall the app or change iPhone, tap Restore on the membership screen and your purchase comes back. Apple handles refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com. More answers are on the support page.
Where does the map data come from?
The terrain comes from Terrain Tiles on AWS Open Data (the Tilezen/Mapzen dataset). Buildings and landmarks come from VersaTiles, built on OpenStreetMap. Photo spots and their real photos come from Wikimedia Commons: every photo is freely licensed, and the app shows each photo's author and license. The base map is Apple Maps, and the cloud forecast comes from Apple Weather. Everything arrives as anonymous map downloads and is saved on your iPhone.
