United StatesEclipse Run lets you pick the best spot for you to experience—live and in person!—Available in two languages (English and Spanish) it covers the eclipse of April 8th 2024 (From Newfoundland to Mazatlán, Mexico) This app shows maps marking the zone where you can see the total eclipse. In the middle of the zone, is the line of maximum totality (over 4 minutes, depending on the location) You just hold your finger on various spots at intersections between this line of maximum totality and a road. A dot appears. Next, by tapping on that dot, you can learn what the weather will be like at your desired location. Plus you’ll get detailed driving instructions via Maps. On your journey, Eclipse Run gives you alerts when you enter the zone of totality, and when you cross the line of maximum totality. It’s easy to understand. It will help you experience this miracle of nature—totally! The Plan Ahead feature, will give you even more information, such as historical average cloud cover and more!
The perfect tool!
I have used this app twice, first in 2017 and recently on April 8. Both times it gave me exactly the information I needed at the right time in an easy to operate interface. The ability to save the locations and choose many alternate sites got us to a great viewing spot BOTH times. Integrating the weather and traffic into the app made it perfect for my trip to Austin Texas. Great job! I'll use it again next time
United StatesSpectacular app, easy to use
This app put us exactly on the line of maximum totality, in an uncrowded area.
United StatesPoor design, but you get what you pay for.
The map obscures the area you are most interested in by reducing the contrast too much. The map forces portrait orientation for no reason, which is a major pain because most iPad mounts/stands are landscape.
United StatesI wish Solar Eclipse Timer had this map...
That's another good app in this space, but it doesn't have a good map to show you where you want to be for the eclipse.
United StatesGreat app, lots of info, clean interface
Shows you where the eclipse lasts longest, weather forecasts 15 days ahead of the eclipse, even directions to get to your chosen viewing location. And more. I’m not surprised it received high praise from the American Astronomical Society.
United StatesExcellent usability
We used this app for the 2017 eclipse. We went to Wyoming and thanks to Eclipse Run found a perfect spot right on the line of totality, with crystal clear skies and no crowds. Love the new features in the updated version. We’re all set for April 8, 2024.
United StatesOnly covers TOTAL eclipses, not partial or even annular.
This doesn’t even cover the upcoming near total, annular, solar eclipse 2023-10-14 which should be a great show in Texas. Bummer. Also, even after I paid for the add-on, I still couldn’t get any of the weather, lodging, or travel information that it was supposed to give me. 🤷♂️
