Total Solar Eclipse

Like, in fine print, one of the last features of this app is "live sonofication on the eclipse by the Kronos String Quartet." This is the app for me! Especially because chances are strong that I'll be inside since I nanny an infant. And I also don't have eclipse viewing glasses. But to listen to the Kronos String Quartet play along to nuclear fusion occurring in the sun as the eclipse happens?! Too exciting! The coolest part of this app being undermarketed is a shame.

There are already couple apps dealing with this 2017 solar eclipse. This new app offers nothing more than a simulation video and bunch of advertisers for certain live telecasts during this event. It does not help you to figure out your local viewing condition, position, or time, etc. Nor does it offer any safety tips or useful tools on how to observe this event. The app presentation is also poor with limited usefulness in the front page. I will pass this and delete it.

I have had so much fun with this app already. Loads of entertaining and useful information. So easy to use and navigate (I'm a stickler for user experience). Kudos to the whole Exploratorium team for their great work!
