Store description excerpt
Everyone wants to take great photos, yet many photos look "flat." That flatness usually comes down to one thing: the light. Photography is the art of using light, and landscape photography is the art of using natural light. That's why landscape photographers chase the light — the moment when the Sun, the Moon, or the Milky Way and stars hit the best angle or the ideal position. Our other app, PlanIt Pro / PlanIt Earth, gives you a powerful tool for pre-planning these moments. But on location everything changes — you're racing the light, with no time to fiddle with your phone. That's why we created PlanIt Live: the best experience for photographers in the field. PlanIt Live isn't only for professionals. Anyone with a camera — even a phone camera — can benefit, and even if you don't shoot at all but simply want to witness a beautiful scene under ideal light, this app is for you. We designed Live around a single use case: you need a piece of information, you take out your phone, open PlanIt Live, get the answer at a glance, and put the phone away — the whole thing takes just a few seconds. In most cases you don't even need to tap anything. And with reminders, you often don't need to take the phone out at all: set alerts for the ephemeris events that match your style, and the app will let you know when the moment arrives. So what does PlanIt Live offer? Daytime photography: sunrise/sunset, blue hour, golden hour, and moonrise/moonset times and directions. Night photography: dark-night start/end times, the Milky Way Center's position and timing in the sky, planets, star trails, and the Bortle dark-sky scale. Real Milky Way: rendered as an actual photographic image across the sky dome, precisely placed for your location and time, with an optional H-alpha view emphasizing the nebula regions. Astro Calendar: open it from the menu or by tapping the date in the header to see upcoming sky events — switch between Events, Moon, Night, and Aurora views, each with its own per-day indicator and day detail. Space weather & aurora: free cards for Live Sun, solar flares, solar wind, short- and long-term Kp forecasts, storm probabilities, and Aurora Tonight. More planning: Skyglow Dome for light-pollution impact, Satellite Position and Satellite Pass for tracking, plus Tide Model and Tide Station for seascapes. 3D Compass: directions to the Sun, the Moon, and the Milky Way Center at any time of day. Augmented Reality (AR): probably the most powerful field-planning AR available. Multi-lens switching and smooth zoom, teleconverter and wide-adapter support, and overlays for the Sun, Moon, Milky Way, stars, constellations, and focal-length framing, plus rainbow, moonbow, terrain-outline, and light-pollution layers. Aim at a celestial object and tap Calibrate to align instantly, and capture photos/video in AR with an info strip of place, direction, and Sun/Moon/Milky Way details (Beta). Shutter Release: tether Sony, Nikon, or Canon bodies over USB and shoot from the app
