Description

The Solar Eclipse Timer app was developed by me, an expert eclipse chaser and eclipse educator, to help people get the most enjoyment out of observing and photographing a total solar eclipse.

#1 ECLIPSE TIMING APP
The first version of my “eclipse talking timer” was used in 2002 as a Windows program. Updated to a mobile app, it was the #1 eclipse timing app used during the 2017 total solar eclipse that crossed the United States. It was then used successfully for solar eclipses in 2019, 2020, 2021, and most recently, 2023 in Australia.

It was featured in Sky and Telescope Magazine in 2002, 2003, 2017, and 2022. Fred Espenak, Mr. Eclipse, recommended it on his blog in 2017. It was used by Destin Sandlin of the YouTube channel Smarter Every Day for his two eclipses in 2017 and 2019, and he recommends the app. Elizabeth Howell from sapce.com gave it a positive review in 2017. Over 630 positive comments were posted after the 2017 eclipse.

The unique feature of the app is that after automatically calculating your exact contact times for your final observing position, it announces out loud the countdowns to the contact times. This is essential for eclipse photographers! It reminds you to observe interesting eclipse phenomena. It tells you when it is safe to take your glasses off and when to put them back on. There are spoken reminders for MAX eclipse, looking for planets and stars, and observing the horizon. You won’t miss a thing because I become your personal eclipse astronomer, talking you through the eclipse!

It is so easy to use! Basically a “Two Tap Setup.” Get into the path; 1 Tap to Geolocate. 2. Tap to Load the Contact Times. That’s it! You are now timing the eclipse!

FREE DOWNLOAD
The app is a FREE download to try it out. It then has in-app purchases to BUY the eclipse data set for the 2024 eclipse.

The FREE download portion allows you to play with the app, see its features and realize its benefits for you on Eclipse Day. Watch a built-in app tutorial that explains all of the functions of the app. Watch a built-in eclipse observation site practice session to hear the app working during an eclipse!

WORKS IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
Solar Eclipse Timer will work anywhere. The app does its calculations internally. It does not require cell service or an internet connection to work. It only requires a GPS signal or manually entering GPS coordinates for the calculations to occur.

I PROVIDE THE TWO BEST TOOLS FOR ECLIPSE PREPARATION!
The Solar Eclipse Timer app is coordinated with my solar eclipse preparation book called “Eclipse Day - 2024 and More! How to enjoy, observe, and photograph a total solar eclipse.” This unique book has its chapters organized by the progression of the eclipse on eclipse day, and the chapters also follow the sequence of announcements by the app. See my website, www.solareclipsetimer.com, for more information about the book.

OTHER FEATURES
Partial Eclipse Timing Mode - It can also time the eclipse as a partial eclipse if you are not in the path of totality. It displays your maximum percent coverage and then continuously displays the progress of the eclipse. The announcements are altered to be appropriate for your maximum eclipse percentage.

This app Is Ad Free! This app DOES NOT track user data in any form.

ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION DURING THE PARTIAL PHASES OF A SOLAR ECLIPSE! OR EVEN WHEN IT IS BRIGHT! NOT DOING SO CAN CAUSE EYE DAMAGE!

We are NOT liable for misuse of the app causing inaccurate timing or the lack of eye safety precautions during the observation of a solar eclipse.

The "glasses off" and "glasses on" statements are a guide based on the calculated contact times. The timing can be affected by your phone's clock and the shape of the shadow due to the edge of the lunar limb. Use the Adjust buttons for Lunar Limb variation times adjustments. Glasses should be ON if it's bright!

Colb20130210,
No voice, followed directions
Saw this on SmarterEveryDay, and used it for the 2017 eclipse in Oregon. Well done. But the voice never came on. I saw ticker tape messages, which were great, but despite following all instructions on my iPhone SE (mute off, volume up, all notifications enabled, this app only one running after restarting it) I got no voice prompts. The only thing I did that might (but shouldn't) have caused an issue was switching to camera and back to this app.

The word "Stop" does not look like a button, rather just plain title text, so it took me a long time to figure out I could tap it.

The main screen has to scroll (not obvious) so the critical Check Position button (which DOES look like a button unlike the Stop "button") is hidden off the bottom of the screen, so you just stair at the main screen wondering what to do with a dead timer app.

The "Check Position" button leads to another counterintuitive screen where you "Get My Location" (that sounds different than "check location") and "Calculate Contact Tines"). Why do I have to press these manually? Can't the contact times update automatically? It feels clunky, like Excel with auto calculate turned off. Further, I have to "Load Contact Times". Load from a disk drive? How about "apply" or "use"? The terminology on the page is a bit confusing.

I love the developer's engagement and contribution to science. I look forward to improvements, and of course 2024.
RGP002,
Great app, very accurate
Like many others, I saw the app and Dr Telepun with Destin on SED, and downloaded immediately. I didn't do a ton of advance work, but did familiarize myself with the functionality for thirty minutes and a few practice runs, and corrected the times for lunar limb profile at my location. I don't know how difficult that would be to integrate into the app, but allowing the calculation to occur as an option within the app would be nice -- although there are websites that do most of the heavy lifting on the calculation now anyway. On the day of the eclipse, I used a Bluetooth earbud to hear the vocal cues, and kept my eyes in the sky (and my kids). Great app, very accurate with the times once corrected -- which was very easy to do. Helpful verbal reminders, too.

I found the app very easy to use, and sufficiently comprehensive if a bit utilitarian. But as an engineer, utilitarian is as much a complement as comprehensive is. You might not confuse the GUI for a pretty Apple produced piece of software, but it's every bit as functional as one.

I was in Chile earlier this year -- and having an app like this at least makes me think about wanting to go back for the eclipse in 2019. Good work to the developer and team. Apps like this are the fantastic part about the smartphone world we live in.
KigerKat,
Awesome app!
We used this during the eclipse today just into the path of totality in SC. We didn't have an exact plan today, so being able to check our position was great. The built in announcements of when eclipse events were occurring were right on cue! We noticed temp changes, wildlife behaviors, and solar bands!

The only things I would change about this would be to have the choice for military time, as many people prefer not to use it. Also, I would like to see a digital countdown for each occurrence such as first contact, second contact... Another useful feature would be to know exactly what percentage of the eclipse you will see based on GPS location.

Another nice feature would be to know what percentage of the eclipse we are currently viewing during the eclipse. We would often look up and guesstimate about what percentage was covered and look around at the amount of light. It would be kinda of cool to know exactly what percentage of sunlight we were experiencing. It's crazy how much daylight the smallest sliver of sun can produce!

Again, amazing app with just a few convenience features missing. I'm looking forward to using it again in 2024!
Gradyap,
Fantastic app!
I got this app after watching Smarter Every Day. I am so glad I did! After locking in my GPS coordinates, it took care of all of the alerts for me as well as the 20 or so people standing nearby as we were watching the eclipse.

A couple of notes for the developer:
1) the timing seemed to be slow by about 2-3 seconds. Meaning that totality through my glasses seemed to begin about 2-3 seconds before the app announced it. I know my coordinates were good but I am also fully aware that the clock on my phone could have been off or that my own perception could have been off. In any case, I'd rather leave my glasses on for a couple of extra seconds than take them off and burn my eyes!

2) Man, it took me a while to figure out how to use the app. I saw the extensive read me file but it took a second watching of the Smarter Every Day video to figure out the "dummy" 2 step process. Maybe for 2024 the app could come with a quick how-to video. That explains the features and use.

All in all a fantastic app that completely transformed my viewing experience and kept me informed about what was going on without requiring me to ever look away from the action! Well done, developer!
Scott Willard,
Excellent, always bug fixes to address.
Installed based on suggestion by SmarterEveryDay, loved it, and got 2-5 other people to install it on eclipse day!

Worked very well, the group of 15 or so people sharing my solar projector laughed and appreciated the voice warnings (I had the volume way up). And it was very accurate.

As others mentioned, it was fairly easy to accidentally stop the verbal updates - I think it should be pretty easy to generate a testing script (for a computer tester, or a human tester) that simulates the use you might expect (timer app running in background while camera or text apps are being used) and work out the bugs so that the verbals are forced no matter what else is going on, but without stopping the other stuff (I'm thinking about programmatically timed multi- shots - those two things running side by side on the same phone would be ideal).

If you publish the script and allow users to set up a dummy eclipse of their own (I think you have the demo already), the users can test apps and conflicts you won't be able to (given non-infinite time), and report back as to success/issues. Just a thought.

Can't wait for the 2018 and 2024 calcs!

Thank you!

PERFECTION!
I flew to Jackson Wyoming so that I could view the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse from within the path of totality. This app performed perfectly. It provided all the information I needed while never distracting from the awesome experience of viewing the total eclipse of the sun. The app prompted me to look for shadow banding at the beginning and end of totality, which was amazing. The app prompted me to remove my eclipse glasses and gaze upon the coronal ring for two minutes and 18 seconds during totality, after which it prompted me with the command "glasses on, glasses on, glasses on". This app is comprehensive, easy to use, and it allowed me to enjoy the eclipse in a way I could not have done without it. Thank you for creating this perfect app, and contributing to the success of a once in a lifetime event.

Essential Solar Eclipse Tool
I used this app for the 2017 eclipse, and it was worth paying for the version with voice dictation so I didn't have too be distracted from the event by constantly looking at my phone. It only used data for a moment when getting the GPS coordinates at my viewing location. After, it ran independently and was surprisingly precise to the second. The app uses military time for it's data.

We brought a white foam board and did see the shadow bands. Don't use a bed sheet on lumpy grass like another observer did. The white surface needs to be flat.

We also used binoculars to focus the sunlight onto the foam board to view the movement of the eclipse. I wish we had a telescope on a stand so we could hold it perfectly still. The kids loved it, and it helped to keep the little children (we has a 3yo and 5yo with us) from looking up at the sun.

I wish that I knew that during totality that I should have photographed the total eclipse with my iPhone using the eclipse glasses as a filter. All I got with my iPhone was the sun in a dark sky.

I hope I'll have the opportunity to view the eclipse again in 2024. 🙂
G-Phunk,
Key to Success!
I rarely write reviews, but I found this app to be so outstanding I feel compelled to spread the word. I am a professional photographer with a lot of astrophotography experience, but I've never photographed nor witnessed a solar eclipse. This app helped me rehearse my exposure plan for the Great American Eclipse of 2017, and was an absolute key to success for my eclipse photos (@paulgriffithphoto if you'd like to see them). Having the audible cues throughout the eclipse was like having a veteran umbraphile with us, which was absolutely priceless. I would suggest that the developer provide an easy way to load preset coordinates for contact times. Other than that, this app was an absolute treasure, and I send a sincere and deepest "thanks" to the developer!
Dsquared9802,
Awesome!!
This app was perfect! I couldn't have video going or taking pics or we would miss updates for the eclipse, but we were warned about that. I was able to do a few test runs on different days, and the app even told us how much longer until the end of totality and yelled "glasses on!!!!" It was awesome. Great links included that I sent to friends for them to see how close they were to totality. My whole group relied on this app to tell us when the next thing was occurring and it didn't let us down. Thx to those who put so much effort into it. I can't imagine what it would've been like without it! Thanks so much from a Hopkinsville, KY resident!
Star Gazer Gal,
Fantastic App.!
This was the perfect app for the 2017 solar eclipse. It made the experience easier and more interesting. WELL worth the $1.99.
We were in the path of totality, so it worked perfectly for us. Our viewing site was a few miles from cell coverage, so I was afraid it wouldn't work, but it did! I programmed the location before we lost coverage, and the counter and info proceeded, even without cell service. I connected my iPhone to a wireless speaker, and those around us were able to enjoy the tracking, too.
Thank you for developing this app.. Hope for an update for 2024!!
