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!!!! I.
Pro features didn’t work
Don’t bother with Pro version—it didn’t work
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 $3 was a HUGE ripoff. If I had planned my location based on what I paid for, I would have missed the eclipse. Thanks a lot for nothing.
Worked great! Very Helpful
I wanted to thank you for creating such a useful app. We went to o an area unfamiliar yo us and having suggestions for parks and locations of events was so helpful. The fee for weather was well worth it. We found a lovely park we wouldn’t have known about and had a wonderful experience.
Annoyed
I was only 70 miles from a total totality location so I went ahead and paid for the “pro version” guided countdown. I wish it had said before paying that you had to be WITHIN a totality area to have the paid version be worth it’s money. I got literally nothing from the pro version. Lucky it’s only 3$ 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.
Maddeningly deficient
Pro version. No Google Maps integration on iPhone No useful tools for navigating to minimal cloud cover. General navigation and usability is poor. Plainly best default view would be map showing GPS location with visual cloud cover. Only cloud information is a single percentage number from a six hour prediction model. It does provide milestone event times and countdown based on GPS but there must be a better mousetrap.
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.
Not able to use
This is not what I was expecting. You cannot use the app, unless you are in the path of totality. Most Americans are not in the path of totality, but would like information aboutViewing times, and other information from their location. This may work for some, but not for most.
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!!!
No notifications
Didn’t get a single notification during the 2024 eclipse. Best of luck in 2044.
Addons 👎
Nice app but just another app attracting you in so you’ll pay the money for time countdown and cloud forecast.
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 $3 upgrade to Pro. Thank you so much to the developers for such a useful app.
Purchased Pro, none of the features worked
Purchased Pro, none of the features worked
Good app
Nice and clean GUI, helped out a ton! Well worth the 3$ to get the advanced timer!
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
Worked flawless! Highly recommend!!
We just used this for the total eclipse in Austin. It worked perfectly! Down to the second!! Thanks!!!!!
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
Totall(it)y worth the pro version.
Thanks for making this app. It brought us to the best possible location for the eclipse! I never pay for pro versions, but I’ve loved it and it’s totally worth the small fee!
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.
Awesome app!
Great resource for the best view of the Eclipse, also very user friendly!
No audio, no vibration
It does have the other stuff but not the main reason I picked this app for. I paid for it too and will ask for a refund since I didn’t get what was promised.
Most helpful
I checked out a few apps and this was the most helpful app that I found.
Timer using other apps DOESNT WORK
I just purchased this because this was one of the only apps I found that claimed to work while using other apps such as taking pictures. I used the simulator, as soon as I switch to my camera, I no longer heard any audio countdown like 10 seconds until or 1 minute until, etc. They only played when I had the app open. $3 wasted, minimal but I wish you would be honest about it. Hopefully others see my review and will know the truth truth so they can decide whether they want to purchase this for $3 aware that the timer will only give audio signals while the app is open
