Post-eclipse feels
First of all, the concept and design of this app are overwhelmingly outstanding. It was thoughtful, and the descriptions are beautiful and detailed. I got my notification at the start of eclipse, and heard the first message, but either something malfunctioned then or I didn't understand what it was telling me. No rumble map came up at any point, besides the ones that came stock under the tab that previously existed. Even without a map of what was currently happening it was a great boost to the experience for me. I can only hope this is here for us again in the future.
Amazing and informative
I've always been curious about astronomy and meteorology. I experienced the audio descriptions during totality and very much appreciated them. I'm looking forward to future ezplorations! I think my favorite rumble-map feature is the diamond ring. :-D Thanks so much for this project!
Awesome app!
Much more interesting information given than I expected and it's all very nicely arranged - kudos to the Devs for doing such a great job on this -
Really well done!
Lovin' this
Very Good
I like how interactive and easy it is to use.
Plenty of features for sighted people too
Such an educational app! Get it for Monday 8/21/17 as well as future eclipses.
Thank you! ☀️🌕
I am totally blind, when I see apps and project such as this I am totally humbled! Thank you so much for making an event, accessible to me. This is going to allow me to be on the same playing field as my side it peers. Thank you
Recapturing childhood fascinations
I didn't even care or notice about the eclipse that's going to happen on 21 August and then a friend of mine mentioned this application on the Facebook…
I figured well? Why not give it a try? And I've played with it for a little bit and this is the coolest thing I've seen in a while! I recommended it to my friends even though all of them have normal eyesight… I'm actually excited now and plan to go and see what there is to see on Monday
I like reading the descriptions of things and the rumble map is really neat… I can see a very small bit and the rumble map and descriptions have brought this whole eclipse thing to my level it really is cool and it makes me feel like a kid again because when I was younger I was absolutely bonkers for the solar system and outerspace
Touch and Hear the Eclipse
Now I'm even more excited for the eclipse.
This app is a fantastic concept and beautifully executed. Can't wait for August 21!
