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!

Great app, lots of info, clean interface

Shows you where the eclipse lasts longest, weather forecasts 15 days ahead of the eclipse, even directions to get to your chosen viewing location. And more. I’m not surprised it received high praise from the American Astronomical Society.

Excellent usability

We used this app for the 2017 eclipse. We went to Wyoming and thanks to Eclipse Run found a perfect spot right on the line of totality, with crystal clear skies and no crowds.
Love the new features in the updated version. We’re all set for April 8, 2024.

Only covers TOTAL eclipses, not partial or even annular.

This doesn’t even cover the upcoming near total, annular, solar eclipse 2023-10-14 which should be a great show in Texas. Bummer.
Also, even after I paid for the add-on, I still couldn’t get any of the weather, lodging, or travel information that it was supposed to give me. 🤷‍♂️

Response from developer

No, it only covers total eclipses, not annular ones. What exact problems did you encounter? Thank you for any details 😊

Epic fail

This doesn’t even cover the upcoming solar eclipse 2023-10-14.

Only covers one eclipse that’s already happened!

Why is this thing even still for sale?! I want my money back! 😡

Response from developer

Eclipse Run now covers the total eclipse of April 8th 2024, which has not yet happened 😊 since it was free, no money back, but if it hasn’t updated automatically delete it and download the new version from the App Store. Note that you need iOS 15 or higher, and that Eclipse Run only covers total eclipses and not annular ones (with all due respect to the sun and moon)

Excellent eclipse viewing tool

Extremely useful, incorporates key info for optimum Great American Eclipse viewing experience, clean beautiful design, intuitive functionality, unbeatable price. Gives you an essential edge to optimize your once-in-a-lifetime eclipse trip.

Eclipse folks take note

Great app. It has a clean, easy-to-navigate interface and provides excellent info about best spots to view the eclipse on August 21, 2017. It also includes maps and driving directions.

Really nice!

By far the best app I have downloaded all day!
