Fred Espenak Collaborated With Me To Add A New Feature For 2024 Called Photographer's Mode (See Below)
I released the first concept of an eclipse "talking" timer in 2002 (Windows Pocket PC). I have helped people enjoy eclipses with better timing for 22 years! Featured in Sky and Telescope Magazine, 2002, 2003, 2017, and 2022.
FREE to download to test its features. The 2024 eclipse data set is an in-app purchase for just $1.99!
Go To Your App Store and UPDATE to the Latest Version of the App! You MUST Have the Latest Version! - Apple is 4.0.31 and Android is 4.1.34.
REPEAT - the latest versions before the eclipse are Apple 4.0.31 and Android 4.1.34!
The Version Number Is Located at the Bottom of the About Screen (tap the "i" in the banner, top right)
Easy navigation to all of the app features. Unique features include an eclipse practice session and an image sequence calculator.
Automatic geolocation and automatic calculation of the precise contact times for your observing postion.
When the times are loaded into the timer they are changed to the local time and the app is ready to talk you through the eclipse!

NEW FEATURE FOR 2024 developed in collaboration with Fred Espenak! The app has Photographer's Mode. In this mode all announcements are related to timing around the contact times. A PDF worksheet is avaible for download to write down your camera chores in order of the app announcements (here).

Even if you computer script you can follow a list of tasks you want to do. Print the PDF worksheet to write down notes (here).
To be sure your phone is set up properly for audio and notifications there are three built in device sound checks. Do these on eclipse day to be sure you are ready! You must have notifications properly working and this helps you. Click Here for Help Page for Notifications.
In app eclipse video practice session. This session plays an eclipse observation site video while being synchronized to the app timing functions so you can see how the app will work on eclipse day and practice your photography routine.
Unique to my app is the Partial Phase Image Sequence Calculator. Using your final position contact times, this feature calculates 10 clock times equally spaced before and after totality. If you take a picture at each of these times you get a prefect set of partial phase images! Download my PPISC Worksheet to write down the times.
Unique to my app is the Partial Phase Image Sequence Calculator. With this technique the percent visibility of the crescents are equal. The time gap duration before and after totality are different. PPSIC Worksheet Here.
The Eclipse Save function allows you to save all of the local circumstances of an observing position by giving it a file name. All crucial data is automatically entered and there are fields for custom user information.
All Saved Eclipses are added to a list in the app for reference.
NEW USERS should watch this first. There is a built-in app tutorial that is 9 minutes long and explains all of the features and functions of the app
