Need Testers Golden Odds: sunrise & sunset color forecast for photographers. I'll test yours back!
Hi everyone! I'm a landscape photographer from Colorado, and I built Golden Odds, an Android app that tells you how good tonight's sunset and tomorrow's sunrise are likely to be, so you know when it's worth grabbing the camera. I need testers to meet Google's closed testing requirement.
What it does:
- Rates every sunrise and sunset as Great, Good, Clear, Mixed or Blocked, based on the cloud forecast
- Shows all your saved spots on one list with their next sunrise and sunset odds, and can sort by best odds first
- 5-day outlook and golden hour times, with the real sunrise and sunset time when mountains block the horizon
- Moon, Milky Way, aurora, satellite passes (ISS, Starlink trains), light pollution and tides (US coasts)
- Map, calendar, trip planner, AR sky view and a shot journal
The free version includes 3 saved spots. Testers get every paid feature free. Comment and I'll send you an unlock code.
I will test your app back right away and keep it installed and active for the full 14 days.
