Absolument géniale !

Application parfaite pour préparer le choix du lieu de l’éclipse et pour la vivre avec le mode enregistrement vocal /photos pendant que le décompte continue ! Intuitive et super bien conçue. Et plein de détails formidables. Comme lien avec PeakFinder par exemple pour voir les sommets gênants.
