With Solar Eclipse Timer I become your personal solar eclipse astronomer and will talk you through a solar eclipse! This app was used successfully by thousands of people for the 2017 USA solar eclipse! Including professional eclipse chasers! See this information and all compiled reviews on my website
A major change for Version 2 is that it is not limited to just an upcoming eclipse! You now have the ability to work with future eclipses due to the feature of in-app purchases of future eclipses. You must buy the eclipse you are interested in for the app to function on eclipse day. When you buy an eclipse, the data for that eclipse becomes available for the app to work with. Then, on eclipse day, after you choose the proper eclipse from the list, you can be ready to time the eclipse with just "two taps". All total solar eclipses from 2019 in South America to 2024 in the United States can be purchased individually! However, still loaded in the app is the 2017 USA solar eclipse so you can practice using the app.
Solar Eclipse Timer still has the simple “Two Tap” setup. After you are in the path; 1. Tap To GPS Geolocate. 2. Tap to load the contact times! The app does its calculations internally. It does not require cell service or an internet connection to time the eclipse.
When you use Solar Eclipse Timer, it is one part of my three-part program of eclipse education and preparation. This app is integrated with my Solar Eclipse Timer YouTube channel and my website. It’s like having me as your person eclipse coach.

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. Lunar limb adjustment times for every point on the path are available on the internet. You are responsible for using the Adjust buttons to enter corrected times. Glasses should be ON if it's bright!

2024-03-14 (U.S. App Store)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.
2020-05-06 (U.S. App Store)Thank you Destin and Dr Telepun for inspiring me to experience the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse. It was so spiritually moving that I intend to also see the 2024 eclipse. I was able to see 2:32 of totality. This app helped me look for the partial phase phenomena and I got to see shadow bands!
2019-02-08 (U.S. App Store)I used this app during the 2017 TSE. Excellent app, really helped me photographing the TSE. Easy to setup for the location, easy to hear the audio prompts, and knowing exactly when to remove and put on protective eyewear made the whole experience awesome. Highly Recommended.
2018-08-21 (U.S. App Store)Love the app it worked great in 2017, but now I’m getting those alerts again in 2018 for 2017 and I cannot turn off the timer. Also I cannot find anywhere to report this issue on the developer page. If this issue didn’t exist I would give it five ⭐️s.
2017-09-20 (U.S. App Store)Good geolocation, but the voice updates stopped about five minutes before totality and did not resume until c4. Disappointed that the countdown feature failed during the exciting phases of the eclipse.
