Can search by date or time, and info includes eclipse maps. Exactly what I want without extra fluff. I don't need.
It told me there would be a 3.3% eclipse where I live, when it's supposed to be about 90 % here in Norway
Excellent program but it would be great if some of the technical terms are explained for lay people in a help file. Example: saros, gamma etc
It gives great data, but I don't see any shadow when I use the simulation mode, no matter where I scroll to in time.
It calculated the total eclipse to be 8 hours later than it actually was in my area. That is so stupid! Also, each time I open it, it wants to calculate when eclipses happen in Spain! There is no menu button, no way to enter settings, and no way to have it default to where I actually am. I'm glad I had other sources of info or I would have missed the eclipse.
However, please add an option for reminding an event at certain time before it takes place. Also, add few additional details for the event. Please improve the map presentation for good viewing and zooming. Great job and good luck developers.
No graphics boring text display missing eclipse info
This is what I am looking for a long time. Finally it can simulate eclipses.
Loved it. I do astrology and follow astronomy and this app fulfilled both interests. More please….
Lunar eclipse simulator doesn't work. Everything else is great.
Lol looks like occult has signaled me. Loved the maps.
I love mother nature and learning more about her always keep me happy I love your app

This is a great app of eclipses and planetary transit !
Great app, very handy. Easy to use.
Versatile and easy to use.
5 starts for you
Simulation uses UT, should use my tablets time.
Need to add more cities
We love this app
I thought it would be a partcial eclipse but it was actually a total eclipse thx to this app
Minor irritations, cannot fix home position, always defaults to Spain. No explanation for the layman for map diagrams. Simulations work well.
