OUR RATING
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
WHY WE'RE OBSESSED
It answers a question that is surprisingly hard to answer quickly in ordinary map apps: how much shade will there actually be here?
Seeing shadows move across a familiar place is immediately legible in a way raw sun-angle data is not.
It is practical for planning and also weirdly mesmerizing to play with.
