What is wrong with map location

Using the search function bar I cannot get the app to successfully "find "a location; before the map/app upgrade earlier today, the functionality was great. Any thoughts?

Was great app, but suddenly does not function

Until today the app functioned well. Today the search function does not work. Every location I've entered today comes up "not found", even Columbus, OH. It also seems very slow in starting up. I've deleted the app and reinstalled with no change.

Not what I would call 'feature rich'

The app would probably be great if you did two things:1. Pay for the upgrade, or2. Don't use it for a solar eclipseIt would seem that their servers are having trouble scaling up for the user load, and as of this instance (1 hour before the eclipse), is not retrieving any data. You would think an app that would be used one in a decade would work during the only time it will be used. Oh well, guess I'll wait another 99 years to try out the app again after they fix their issues.

Didn't work during eclipse time, useless

I downloaded this app to watch the eclipse with my family. I used it in the days leading up to the eclipse however when we wanted to use the app during the eclipse the site was bogged down and we were unable to use it. Overall concept was okay, interactive map wasn't great. For a free app it was okay, just didn't serve any purpose when it came down to needing it.

Excellent Eclipse App

This is an excellent eclipse app. You can drop pins on a location and see the total eclipse duration, when the eclipse starts, the start of totality, maximum eclipse, the end of totality and the end of the eclipse. A nice addition would be a button to get you the current weather for where you put your pin or a button to get a weather forecast for where you put your pin. The simulations of the eclipse from where you dropped your pin are nice. It would be good if the simulation could be saved or watched as a movie. This app will help me set up my intervalometer to take pictures of the eclipse. Let’s hope we have clear skies.

Great app

A very good app for preparing for the eclipse. For the photography lovers it would be fantastic to have a small bar on the side or bottom of the interactive map with the number of degrees it represents (which would change as one zooms in or out). Congrats on a job well done.

Clunky app, map function nearly useless

While the concept is great, the interactive map is trash. The location search function might find the location, but does not drop a pin, which is the whole point with how this map works. If my current location is 100 miles away from the path of totality and I want to check if a specific address is located within the path, I can't. The map is too small within the app. It covers less than 1/3 of the screen and still requires pinching and finger scrolling to move around. Oops, I dropped a pin 1000 miles away from where I'm planning to be. The tiny map lacks details such as road names. I can't even speak to the quality of the rest of the app since the interactive map is so awful, but it looks like it's just a copy of a (not great looking) website.

Start and Stop times are off

After updating my IOS to latest version, I notice that the eclipse times are off by a number of hours. Still a useful app, but the time function needs to be fixed. (Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled)

Great and useful app

I'm very impressed with this app. The interactive map lets you figure out where the best spot to observe the eclipse is. Even if you can't make it into the region of totality, it will show you what the eclipse will look like from your location. Lots of general information about the eclipse. Highly recommended.

Pretty Cool

I like the interactive eclipse map, but the background is tan and the sun image is yellow. It's VERY difficult to see where the blue moon transits the image of the sun. A better color contrast between the background and the sun would be appreciated.
