5/5Just keeps getting better and better
I started using another popular astro planning app but know I use this Planit for pretty much everything. The only quirck is on getting use to saving Plans and Tasks. Once you get use to it your golden. The features and especially how easy it is to access those features is really key. You really don't have to think about what do I need to access them. When you don't have to think about how to use the program it makes the workflow very fast and intuitive. The VR screen is not just to see how things appear in the sky it becomes an integral piece of your tool set to capture the perfect picture.

5/5Planit
Don’t know if it’s a bug, but I can’t get the timeline at the bottom to stop scrolling forward in time. Seems to like putting in tomorrow’s date instead of today or current time. Third week using app, and have sensational sunset “da money shot” already. Still wasn’t sure about what the app was reporting, shot seemed to good to be true, went to the spot and was spot on. Confirmed point with phone’s compass. Dazzling results. Can someone add to the tutorials on how to stop the timeline at the bottom from automatically scrolling forward. Using iPhone SE 2020 for app. Using Canon DSLR for imaging. Photographer since 1972. Digital since 2005. Planit is must have app.

5/5Best photo planning app bar none
I’ve used several photo planning apps over the years, and this is by far superior to any app I’ve tried. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but there are good tutorials available and once you get a grasp of the incredible spectrum of capabilities this app offers you’ll never go back to any other source for photo planning.

3/5Good App but iOS Issues
I like the app, when it’s working, it’s an amazing tool for sun and moon photography. The interface , planning features and precision made it my go to app for landscape photography. Unfortunately, on iOS it currently crashes and is unstable. The only suggestion the company provided was to use an Andripid device. I hope they can release an iOS fix soon because the app has potential but it’s hard to justify paying for something that doesn’t work on iOS

1/5I Love it until it stopped working
Planit is the new go to app for planning your photography…No doubt. There is a subscription but it has been worth it, because I use it almost everyday. So, why the one star review? Because suddenly the app stopped working and a friend is having the same problem. Planit responded to my email with”It happens.” and turn your iphone to airplane mode then open the app then exit airplane mode. Perhaps someone at Planit will see this one star review and get going on a fix. Because having to go into airplane mode and blah blah blah when I’m trying to set up my shot isn’t going to work.
