Pro version scam

$4.00 for a timer? What a scam!
And why am paying again? I just saw another charge on my card can’t even opt out.

Amazing App!

I'm so glad I discovered this app. I was planning to find places where to enjoy and view the solar eclipse of 2024. The information on weather, totality duration, and events near each location was accurate. Great job for the developers of this app. This app was really helpful in my journey to find the best place to enjoy the eclipse, and I was satisfied with all the features and information. I hope the App works for the Solar Eclipse in 2026 in Iceland and Spain!!!
Thanks!!!!

Pro features didn’t work

Don’t bother with Pro version—it didn’t work

Worked great! Very Helpful

I wanted to thank you for creating such a useful app. We went to o an area unfamiliar yo us and having suggestions for parks and locations of events was so helpful. The fee for weather was well worth it. We found a lovely park we wouldn’t have known about and had a wonderful experience.

Location of totality useful - clouds just plain wrong

The free version was just fine. However, I paid the $3 for the ‘live cloud forecast.’ It was not correct AND gave two different answers. My app said 15% clouds, my husband’s free app for same location said 80% clouds. So which was it? So ironically the extra $3 was a HUGE ripoff. If I had planned my location based on what I paid for, I would have missed the eclipse. Thanks a lot for nothing.

Annoyed

I was only 70 miles from a total totality location so I went ahead and paid for the “pro version” guided countdown. I wish it had said before paying that you had to be WITHIN a totality area to have the paid version be worth it’s money. I got literally nothing from the pro version. Lucky it’s only 3$ but I feel like there should have been some more information. I would have been happy if I had even gotten a guided countdown for the closest totality area to me. I was looking forward to seeing all the features shown in the example and saw none at all instead. It was a waste of 3$ for where I was located. Would have been worth every penny if I had been in a different area.

Worked great for me!

I used the cloud cover percentage estimations to change my itinerary right up to the last day. Originally planned to go to Ennis, TX, but the cloud cover jumped the last day, so I re-planned for De Queen, Arkansas. Ended up in Ola, Arkansas, and viewing was great!

Was Moderately Helpful

Prompts for events did not work. Perhaps the Mfg. wanted one to focus on the app during the event. I used it for a reference to begin camera configurations, then watched the show, never hearing a peep from the app.

4/8/24

We used this app to determine exactly where we would go to see totality of the eclipse and this app worked like a charm! The info provided was accurate to the second and additional content so helpful! Thank you for aiding in an amazing experience!!!

Made my experience priceless

I downloaded this on a recommendation from an online post a few days before the Apr 8 eclipse. I was in the path of totality and would absolutely have missed a few key moments without the guidance of this app. I paid a measly couple of bucks in exchange for incredible, accurately timed guidance (I used the voice countdown to tell us when it was safe to remove our glasses, and when to start putting them back on). The list of associated phenomena, and when to expect them, was super useful. Everything went perfectly!

No notifications

Didn’t get a single notification during the 2024 eclipse. Best of luck in 2044.

Great resource for 2024 eclipse

We experienced the 2024 eclipse from Greenville, ME and this app helped us so much to know when each phase would begin. It was well worth the $3 upgrade to Pro. Thank you so much to the developers for such a useful app.

Purchased Pro, none of the features worked

Purchased Pro, none of the features worked

Thanks!

Worked GREAT for my location (Montreal).

The sound notifications were exact to almost the second!

Super glad I bought this app

Useless app!

Bought it for eclipse and it was useless!

Utter RipOff

Paid the $3 for the pro version and it did nothing but show a countdown in minutes and seconds. Audio and notifications did not work. Waste of time

Didn’t work and no instructions

I paid the $3 and was excited about using this app which icluded an audio guidance…didn’t work

App was disappointing

Good app

Nice and clean GUI, helped out a ton!
Well worth the 3$ to get the advanced timer!

works

works

I got ripped off

I decided to pay the $3.00 for the Pro version. It has a guided countdown, as well as audio and vibration alerts. It is also supposed to allow you to not be in the app and it will alert you.

No countdown, no audio, no vibration, and nothing if you leave the app. This was a total disappointment. I’d like my money back.
