Description

A total solar eclipse is among the most awe-inspiring events in nature, but few people have had the opportunity to experience one. Totality by Big Kid Science, a FREE educational app now owned by the nonprofit American Astronomical Society, aims to help change that by helping you learn about eclipses and find your way to upcoming eclipses around the world, including the 2023 annular and 2024 total eclipses that will pass across North America.

Totality, your solar-eclipse companion, is sponsored by the nonprofit American Astronomical Society. Its awesome features include:

• An interactive map that shows exactly what you’ll see at any location in the world for upcoming annular and total solar eclipses, as well as a review of recent past eclipses. (Maps based on eclipse code graciously provided by Xavier Jubier.)
• Using your phone's GPS, the app will tell you what you'll see for these eclipses at your current location, as well as showing you the nearest locations where you can witness annularity or totality.
• The app offers navigation tools to help you find your best route to the path of totality.
• The Learn screen offers options that will help you learn how to view a solar eclipse safely, help you understand the science behind eclipses, and much more. It even includes a set of classroom activities.
• The Shop screen offers fantastic books about space and science (including a children’s book designed to accompany the app), eclipse glasses for safe viewing (which you can use to look at the Sun at any time, not just during an eclipse), and links to some of our favorite space education nonprofits.

And it's all absolutely free, including no ads, brought to you as a public service by Big Kid Science and the American Astronomical Society.

Totality by Big Kid Science is now available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese (determined by the language setting on your device).

What happened to the app

ItsOnlyZack on

Can you fix the bugs bc I can’t see the percent of the eclipse and the time

Excellent App and worked great on April 8!

Andy from Delaware on

This app is essential when you are traveling for a solar eclipse. I recommended it to friends and coworkers to use and everyone really thought it was effective. Hopefully there can be an app developed for lunar eclipses too! Nicely done!

Very happy with this app!

Newton45 on

It was a little difficult finding my location on the map but probably in a bad location. But we found it finally, the clouds parted the timing was spot in and we saw an awesome sight! Thanks!

Very nice app. Timing accuracy?

dccnd5 on

Very useful app. A detail - the timing prediction of the start/end of totality was different by a few minutes from what I understood to be “correct”. Is it possible that your delta T needs to updated?

Perfect for 4/8/2024

ian.lewis on

Easy to use app with no ads or data collected (read their privacy policy) that provides a better service than what the NSO website provides with real time location relative to the eclipse path. Why can't all apps be like this?

Super easy to use

Overlay of eclipse timing to google maps. Exactly what I was looking for. Free! Thank you.

Ok in the beginning

Dreamlincoln on

When I first downloaded it for last year, it was absolutely amazing. I have done every update that they have put out but ever since the first update it’s glitchy it will not show your location even if you manually put it in it says it is not available this app was worth it in the beginning, but I would highly not recommend it

This is the best app

Hehfbhdhsjd on

It’s so good no adds so fun perfect for the eclipse it show where to go and where it is and the best thing is that when you don’t know where your house is you can just search it up on there and other places so yea everyone should get this app for sure

Version 4.0.0 Crashes

RWinTex on

This new 2026 Eclipse version crashes on launch. IPhone 13 Pro IOS 17.4. Please fix. Focus on the 2024 Eclipse. You could have waited until April 9th to release this version but no lets screw up the 2024 version a month before the eclipse. Unbelievable. Update 3/20/24 The app now appears to be working as before. Credit to the developer for the response and timely fix.

Amazing App!

jmsnegus on

I’ve been using this app for years now! It’s incredibly intuitive, user friendly, and informative. I strongly recommend this as your app for all things eclipse related.
