Planit: Photo Planner - Photography planning & visualization

Version Differences and Payment Instructions：

- In this complimentary version, the Ephemeris functionality is available as an in-app purchase. Upon purchasing, it will offer the same features as the paid PlanIt Pro. Some of the images displayed here show the Ephemeris functionalities activated. 

- The free version actually offers a range of capabilities beyond your expectations. It serves as a plan/marker file reader, estimates focal lengths on maps, calculates depth of field and panoramas, and can even provide previews from aerial perspectives for your drone. 

- The integration of the Ephemeris feature is so comprehensive that it's challenging to separate some elements for the free version while charging for others. 

- User feedback has shown frustration with one-star reviews due to the absence of a trial period, which feels unjust. However, as previously mentioned, despite not offering a trial, you are welcome to purchase and try it out. We offer refunds at any time if it does not meet your satisfaction.

This message particularly targets landscape, travel, and nature photographers, as well as enthusiasts of night photography, city shots, time-lapses, star trails, the Milky Way, or astrophotography: look no further, as Planit Pro is the ideal application for you. Priced similarly to a cup of Frappuccino, it will save you considerable time, effort, and costs related to travel. Most importantly, it enhances your enjoyment of landscape photography.

Ansel Adams opens his first book "Taos Pueblo" by focusing on visualization. He introduced "previsualization," which involves photographers imagining the appearance of their final print before capturing the image. While spontaneous photos can be remarkable, previsualizing a scene before visiting significantly reduces the risk of unpreparedness and increases the chances of achieving better photographs for landscape photographers.

The Planit Pro app includes a wide array of features：

*location scouting, such as GPS coordinates, elevation, distance, elevation gain, clear views, focal length, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, panorama, and aerial photography.

*Ephemeris features like sunrise and sunset times and directions, moonrise and moonset information, twilight periods, significant daily hours, sun and moon positioning, major stars, constellations, nebulae azimuth and elevation angles, planning for star trails, time-lapse calculations and simulations, sequence planning, searching for the Milky Way, solar and lunar eclipses, exposure and ND filter calculators, light meters, rainbow position predictions, tidal heights, and tide searches. 

*All this information is depicted on the map as overlays or visually presented in simulated viewfinders (VR, AR, images, or street views), akin to looking through your camera's viewfinder. Whatever you need for landscape photography, it's all accessible in Planit Pro.

Landscape photography is a venture into the natural world. We recognize that there may be times when network connections are unavailable while exploring. Planit Pro was developed with this consideration and allows you to preload offline elevation files and maps, enabling full functionality without requiring network access.

App Experience：

Planit Pro is designed for landscape, travel, and astrophotography enthusiasts. The free version comes with practical functions such as map ranging, depth-of-field calculation, and drone aerial photography preview. The ephemeris function requires an in-app purchase to unlock, after which it has the same functionality as the paid version. It supports purchasing a trial at any time, with a refund policy for dissatisfaction. Users can also provide feedback via email and watch short video tutorials to quickly get started. The software's core functions cover the entire photography process, including site selection and surveying, prediction of the positions of the sun, moon, and stars, time-lapse, and star trail planning. It supports pre-loaded offline maps and elevation data, allowing for normal use without an internet connection. For the price of a Frappuccino, it can help you save a significant amount of travel costs and improve your landscape photography success rate.
