Fantastic

I was in the middle of nowhere with no cell service and it worked perfectly. I saw 2 minutes 19 seconds of totality thanks to this app. Best experience ever!
Couldn't watch the eclipse without this app

Every one in my Eclipse watching group was seeing the eclipse for the first time. The announcements kept us on schedule and were fantastic for keeping us on track while we were all freaking out. I will never watch an eclipse without this app. I'm definitely going to update this for the next eclipse I go to.
THANK YOU for creating this!

Sincere thanks to the creator of this wonderful app. It greatly increased our enjoyment of the 2017 eclipse (totality in Columbia, SC!). We learned of this app through "Smarter Every Day", and I'm so pleased that our family members all used it to track the eclipse stages. Hope to see the next US total eclipse in 2024!!!
Awesome Eclipse App!

Worked like a champ for the August 21st eclipse. I was near Baker City OR and I was able to scout totality times all around the area to find just the right spot. During the eclipse the talking timer worked perfectly so I could focus on my cameras. Thank you to Gordon and team for creating such a helpful tool. Only issue I had was trying to use an external Bluetooth speaker. Once I disconnected from the speaker the audio played perfectly from the phone. (6 plus) Now I'm hooked on chasing the 2024 eclipse.

The voice feature didn't work and I was charged more than the $1.99 price advertised. Wish I could get my money back.
Essential for a perfect viewing

I cannot emphasize enough how this app made our total eclipse experience perfect. What was extra special was that we were in a field where a lot of families and kids were observing and they too enjoyed and relied on our timing and info as the eclipse progressed. It linked to our exact spot very easily and continued to work without cell feed. That was very important because in the mountains, everyone lost cell data. Thank you so much for developing this app!!!
Worked flawlessly once we figured it out

Thanks to Dustin and the Youtube channel "Smarter Every Day" we purchased the app and it talked us through the entire event. We would have totally missed the shadow bands if it weren't for the app.
Did not function as intended on 8/21/2017

Installed App on my iPad a couple of months ago. Practiced a few times with it, with no issues. Made updates as they were released. During the eclipse, the App Timer displayed events for my location, but with no audio. Checked volume, it was turned up to max. Notifications were enabled. With no audio, the App was of little value, as I was busy taking photos through two cameras. Discovered afterward that iPad was set to Do Not Disturb during the afternoon period, so there was no audio. Suggest you add this to your advice for setup and configuration of the device before an eclipse event. The malfunction was completely my fault, but I would hate for some future user to get tripped up by this same setting.
