Solar Eclipse Timer

*After Buying the 2024 eclipse TAP the 2024 eclipse line AGAIN to
load the 2024 data set. You will get a dialogue box confirming
timing that eclipse*
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. It's a free to download and test and learn the features with an in-app purchase of only $1.99 to buy the 2024 eclipse. Equal to the cost of a single pair of eclipse glasses and just as important!
The app's unique feature is that it announces the countdowns to the contact times out loud. It reminds you to observe interesting eclipse phenomena like temperature changes lighting changes animal behavior shadow bands umbra approach and more. 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! The app geolocates to find your position in the path and then calculates your precise contact times. It does not require internet access to do this. You are now timing the eclipse with me as your personal astronomer guide!
In collaboration with Fred Espenak (Mr. Eclipse) there is a new feature for 2024 called Photographer's Mode. In this mode all spoken announcements are about the eclipse timing relative to the contact times. There are only three other essential reminders: two remove your solar filters max eclipse and replace solar filters. This mode was designed specifically for eclipse photographers.

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.
