The photorealistic 3D world: stand at your camera pin and look around, with the sun, moon and Milky Way where they really are, on top of everything in Max.
How it works
Drop a pin where you want to shoot. Captures are stamped automatically with GPS, compass bearing and EXIF, then filed in your library.
In Explore, place your camera and your subject, then drag the timeline to see exactly where the sun, moon and Milky Way will sit — any hour, any place.
Viewpoint watches the forecast and pushes you a notification when conditions line up for clear skies, fog or golden light.
Now on the web
Open web.getviewpoint.app in any browser and pick up exactly where your phone left off. Reviewing a region, dropping pins, reading notes and reference photos, planning compositions — all far easier with a real pointer and a large map.
Your library
Every spot you find becomes a card in your library — the photo you made, the gear you used and exactly where you stood, captured the moment you press the shutter.
Sun, moon & Milky Way
Check the phase, the dark-sky window and exactly when the Milky Way core rises — for any night and any place, computed right on your device.
A full field kit
Widgets
Seven home- and lock-screen widgets keep the day’s light, tonight’s sky, your next shoot and live conditions a glance away — open to everyone, with the live-conditions widget part of Viewpoint Max.
What you can count on
Every decision is made in the field, not a boardroom.
Viewpoint doesn’t sell data or run ad networks. Analytics is opt-in, and nothing personally identifying is collected.
Your library is yours — export it or delete your account yourself, any time. It lives on your device and, on the Max plan, syncs to our servers so it’s on your other devices too.
Field tools
Depth of field, hyperfocal, exposure, star trails and more, on every plan, with no purchase and no account needed.
Scout it, plan the light, and be there when it’s right — on your phone or the big screen.
