Instead of forcing users to jump between multiple applications, ScoutKit brings important outdoor data into a focused, easy-to-use experience and helps photographers make informed decisions—without unnecessary clutter, ads, or other distractions.
“When I was out shooting, I constantly found myself switching between different apps just to check multiple conditions,” said Jim Newkirk, outdoor photographer and creator of ScoutKit. “I wanted an app that let me privately store my shooting locations and quickly check conditions for those spots. ScoutKit is the app I wanted but couldn’t find—so I built it.”
Key ScoutKit features include:
- Photography-relevant weather data — High-quality weather data points that impact outdoor photo shoots, including conditions related to accurate Tidal Conditions, Cloud Coverage, and Sunrise/Sunset Conditions.
- Private, on-device location storage — A local library that allows users to store shooting locations securely on their devices
- Watchlists for quick checks — Easily move saved locations into a watchlist to monitor conditions without jumping between apps
“I’ve bounced between so many apps trying to piece together the info I need, and this one pulls all my favorite features into one place. The standout for me is the ability to organize locations into collections. It makes planning shoots and trips so much easier, especially when I’m tracking multiple spots for light, weather, and timing. …It’s clear this was designed by someone who understands how photographers think. Super intuitive, incredibly useful, and now a permanent part of my workflow.” – App Store Reviewer
