Solar Eclipse Timer App Reviews

Wish I could give this amazing app more than 5 stars. We used the 2017 version at our first solar eclipse in Salem, OR. The knowledge and guidance it provided made the experience so much more meaningful and with its assistance we were able to get some great photos. Needless to say we are eager to explore the new Photographer’s Mode and other enhancements. We also bought the accompanying book. What a wealth of information. Thanks, thanks for making it available to all of us!

Like many others, I came from Smarter Every Day. But in 2024, not 2017. This needs a good map to show you where you want to be to get as close as you can to the center of totality. The Eclipse Run app is good for that. In all the things I tried in this app, I could never get any audio. But YouTube works fine, so I'm sure it's not my iPad. I'll give you those last two stars if you can fix these problems before April 8th, 2024.

After giving SET a one star review, I ws contacted by the author who was able to walk me through the proper setup steps. Great service and dedication...happy camper now.

We used this in the 2017 eclipse. The notifications were great. Specially, the announcements of glasses on/off, look for shadow bands, etc. really helped with the experience.

Used this app when my father and I drove to Idaho from Nevada for the 2017 total eclipse, and it absolutely enhanced our enjoyment for our first eclipse. We were able to use the app to ensure we were inside the path of totality, and the audio indicators along the entire experience were incredibly helpful. Dad and I are driving to Texas this year for our second total eclipse and of course we will be using this app again. Thank you so much for this incredible tool!

This was a great prep aid for me at the 2017 eclipse.

Even before the actual eclipse, I am enjoying the functionality of the Solar Eclipse Timer app. Gordon Telepun provides all the necessary assistance for shooting an eclipse, be it partial or total, all packaged in this awesome app. For a mere price of $1.99, you practically have a system to accompany your shoot.

I was very pleased with this app back in 2017. I loved that it talked me through exactly when to take off the glasses. Nobody has time to be looking at their phone during this life changing event. 😍I swore after the last eclipse that I would drive anywhere to get in the path.(This teacher is losing two days of pay to experience totality again. ) It’s worth it! Get this app and drive as far as you need to take those glasses off. You won’t regret it.
