Thanks for all the great replies. I was motivated to ask this question by the Steve Perry e-book where he recommended Photographer's Ephemeris. I looked up comments for this app and found many negative opinions regarding the Android version. Since my phone is Android I started looking elsewhere. My interest is mainly wildlife and landscapes. I've never done any astro photography so an app mainly directed at astro photography may not be very useful. I'd like to get an app that would help me improve my lighting. Would PhotoPills satisfy this requirement?

For daylight lighting, sun position, for shadows and planning outdoor lighting, I use an app called Sun Seeker on my iPhone.

You might want to watch this video describing the various features of Photopills, Planit and TPE before you decide. I currently use Photopills, but Planit looks awfully interesting.

Hope this helps.

Add to my post. I am currently using PP to plan a 31 October sunset - moonset shoot. The moon sets about an hour after the sun. I am going to shoot a timelapse as well as stills of both settings.

PP will allow me to align my camera to capture both events reasonably well composed.
