Every single time that I have used this app while the sun is visible, the path of the sun on the app is way off from the actual sun path. While viewing the app, I will literally be looking at where the sun should be, according to the application, and it will be multiple degrees off, sometimes a full two inch difference on my phone screen. 2 inches on a phone screen while looking at the sky is the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of miles difference.

Hi, do your phone's sensors need calibrating? You can find instructions on how to do this in the main app menu. If are still having problems please get in contact at support@stonekick.com and we will look into it. Thanks.

v4.2.0: The app is indeed well-structured. However, it currently lacks the functionality to display Blue Hour times. Although I am not planning to purchase the pro version at this time due to its price, I would be very interested in reconsidering if a discount were occasionally available on the Play Store.

Installed app is titled "Sun Position Demo"?? This does not match the name shown in Play Store! Trying to run the app it is exceptionally buggy, particularly the AR view which keeps throwing errors saying it can't start my camera while the _selfie_ camera keeps activating & stopping.
