I’ve been using Exsate Golden Hour ($free but not free):
In poking around these look good, but are not free in either sense:

The Photographer’s Ephemeris: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crookneckconsulting.tpeandroid

Hi,
I know this topic is two year old but maybe this is is still relevant for you.
I wrote a Linux application which is in principle exactly what you are looking for. I think you were looking for an Android app but maybe you are using Linux on your PC?
I just opened another topic where I introduce this app:
Hi everyone,
I want to introduce my new free and open source Linux app made for photographers called PicPlanner.
The idea:
Probably most of you know the photography planning apps like “PhotoPills”
