Photo Location Planner reaches 10k download mark

A few days ago the Windows Phone version reached 10 000 download mark on the Windows Phone Store!

Thanks for all the users for this unbelievable achievement! There are some open bugs that I will fix at some point. Also, I have a lot of development ideas as well, finding the time to implement them is the harder problem to solve :)

Unprecedented popularity of Photo Location Planner in WP Store

I submitted Photo Location Planner to Windows Phone Store just about a month ago. This weekend the statistics tell me that it has been downloaded from the store over 5000 times! That is way more than I anticipated, although the app is free but it has a fairly limited audience. The download stats look currently like this:

Past few weeks it has been fairly steady at 150-200 downloads per day, which is amazing! I have done very minimal marketing, just a few tweets and blog posts + word of mouth to friends + one post to a local photography forum.

To be honest there is currently at least one case when it seems to crash, stay tuned for an updated version. Many thanks for the individuals who have submitted a crash report via email!

Photo Location Planner

Are you a landscape photographer? Do you need to plan when and where you need to go to capture the perfect sunrise or sunset photograph?

Aalisoft has developed an app that lets you see when the sun rises and sets as well as the direction on an interactive map. The times and directions depend on two things: the date and place. Before the exact times can be calculated, the position needs to be pointed on the map and the desired date needs to be selected (by default it is today but you can plan ahead and select whatever date you desire).

There are three different types of twilights:

  • astronomical (dark enough for astronomical observations)
  • nautical (dark enough for nautical navigation based on stars)
  • civil (starting to get dark for the human eye)

All these three twilights will also be calculated and shown on the screen. See a good explanation on the different twilights here as it relates to photography.

Available in Windows Store…

Photo Location Planner has been available free for Windows 8 and Windows RT since December 2012.
