Like The Photographer’s Ephemeris (TPE), PIFP offers the ability to see locations of the Sun and Moon at various times of the day and in various locations. And, aside from having a pretty awful name (I would be in full support of a name change), the app has been a huge asset to my photography. Personally, I use it for planning many of my landscape shots, especially those that involve the Milky Way or are heavily dependent on the location of the Sun or Moon. In a nutshell, PIFP is set up to be a do-it-all photography planning application that you can carry around in your pocket. For those that don’t yet have access to PhotoPills (which is rumored to be coming to Android as early as the end of 2016) or for iOS users who may want to consider a different option, PIFP could fill that need. I simply wanted to give everyone a rundown of what the app has to offer since it has been so beneficial for my photography planning. Let me start off by saying that I’m not affiliated with PIFP, nor did they request this post. (Note: This article is not at all about iPhone versus Android. Luckily, I found PlanIt! for Photographers (PIFP from here on out), and have squashed the thoughts of buying a whole new type of phone simply to buy a photography app. Since PhotoPills is currently only available for Apple devices, however, I at one time found myself considering a switch from Android to an iPhone simply so that I could have all that PhotoPills has to offer at my fingertips. In various articles, podcasts, and conversations with other photographers, I’ve repeatedly heard about how the app has revolutionized the process for planning out landscape photos in particular. In the world of landscape photography planning applications, PhotoPills is the app I hear raved about the most often.
