The perfect eclipse companion!

I was able to take amazing photos of the August 2026 solar eclipse with the app + camera filter! And the in-app timer was super useful to get ready for the different stages of the eclipse. My experience wouldn’t have been the same without this app! A big thank you to the developers 😃

Brilliant for automated totality

This app saved me! Took some super shots on my iPhone and the automated totality option was fab. It’s takes a range of pics every few seconds automatically. Leaving you to enjoy the moment

Super

Was able to take nice shots of the 2026 eclipse in Paris also using the protection layer on the camera. Good results and guidance thanks to the app 🌙

Bof

Je suis désolé, mais j’ai utilisé l’appli pour l’éclipse en Espagne et j’ai pris de meilleures photos en passant par l’appareil photo de l’iPhone.

Rubbish

Didn’t even slightly work. Only works if buy extra filter that it doesn’t mention obviously. Robbed

Not that great for photos

Filter doesn’t really help capture solar eclipse

Escroquerie

Great app! Switch off Auto-Lock

Like the latest version! Set Auto-Lock to Never. Otherwise, your phone will lock during the run and you will not get the expected sequence. That happened to me during testing

Great!

Stuck a piece of an eclipse sunglass on my iPhone camera and took awesome photos of the partial eclipse from my backyard!
Great for moon photos!

Great! Turn up the screen brightness

a. Great app! I used it to photograph the annular solar eclipse from the suburbs of Albuquerque. I left
the kit at home. I used the app on an iPhone 13 Pro. My wife used the app on an iPhone X. We each
used an improvised filter cut out from approved, silvered solar viewing glasses. The material caused an orange color and some haloes. What worked well. The autofocus worked great! I did not need to lock it.

I could not photograph the sunspot that we saw through binoculars but that may have been the filter.
The partial 60-sec timer. Changes. For some of us, the Zoom and Exp buttons got stuck on the left edge and needed tapping a few times. Maybe make them a few pixels bigger. Put the time on the screen so that we do not have to close the app to see the time. Annular eclipse is a bit over exposed even at the lowest exposure but that may be our filter.

b. Combined with a suitable filter, it provides easy adjustment of the zoom, exposure, and focus. There
is a button to take photos at regular intervals, an intervalometer. It worked well during the 2023 annular eclipse. You can temporarily attach an approved filter material to the phone using masking tape or binder clips!

c. In April 2024, we got the filter kit. It went on easily and the Velcro pad stayed on the back of the
phone. After you put on the filter, turn up the screen brightness. Now you can see the dim image
onscreen while squinting towards the partially eclipsed sun and the bright sky! It was too cloudy to use the app.

d. Try a zoom from near 4 to 15 and exposure near -2. For each eclipse, the autofocus worked well and
we did not have to manually adjust focus.

e. Unclear which lens it uses on a multi-lens phone. For example, for a 6X zoom does it use the 2X lens
and 3X optical zoom or 5X lens and 1.2X digital zoom?

2024 Eclipse

I had high hopes that my iPhone 15 Pro Max along with this app and filter would take good photos, however almost everything was blurry though on a tripod. The app automatically changed the lighting with each consecutive shot which made them all terrible. I don’t understand the logic behind that.

Good thing I had my Sony handicap set up with a special lens that I could pull a still photo or two from that.

Very high quality and stable application.

Waste of time and attention

I took probably 150 eclipse pictures with this app on the day of (the self-timing feature is nice, so credit to that). The picture that my wife casually took on her phone’s camera was better than all of them! Very disappointing to see.
