User reviews

It’s so bad

It can only do 1 eclipse without premium 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Response from developer

Yes, it does one eclipse at a time, even with “premium”, which is not a subscription but a one time fee of $2.00 so I can pay for the weather info. Find another app that tells you when you are on the line of totality, gives you cloud cover probability, duration at any spot, help with booking, and let me know 😊 Or maybe you can make one yourself 😀 BTW, next release will have the next 2 eclipses…

The perfect tool!

I have used this app twice, first in 2017 and recently on April 8. Both times it gave me exactly the information I needed at the right time in an easy to operate interface. The ability to save the locations and choose many alternate sites got us to a great viewing spot BOTH times. Integrating the weather and traffic into the app made it perfect for my trip to Austin Texas. Great job! I'll use it again next time

Spectacular app, easy to use

This app put us exactly on the line of maximum totality, in an uncrowded area.

Poor design, but you get what you pay for.

The map obscures the area you are most interested in by reducing the contrast too much.
The map forces portrait orientation for no reason, which is a major pain because most iPad mounts/stands are landscape.

Response from developer

The map is Apple Maps, and I have no control of the contrast. Thank you for the tip on iPads. I will work on that. I hope you enjoy the eclipse anyway 😊

I wish Solar Eclipse Timer had this map...

That's another good app in this space, but it doesn't have a good map to show you where you want to be for the eclipse.

Response from developer

SE Timer and Eclipse Run are good partners for serious eclipse chasers! Thank you for the stars!
