2024-03-02	A *****	I like this app, worked wonderfully on my S8+ since 2015. It does work sort of on my s24ultra but keeps asking for permissions and won't store configurations. I can't trust it to work on the day or I would give 5 stars. It needs to be updated or a fix detailed.

2017-11-06	A *****	EclipseDroid was the perfect tool for the Great Eclipse this past August! The app's scripting and tethering capabilities enabled me to take a more precise and thorough sequence of photos than I would have been able to do manually, allowing me to sit back and enjoy my first total solar eclipse rather than fiddling with camera controls. EclipseDroid pinpointed my location, and the eclipse timing was spot on. My photos turned out wonderfully! // While testing EclipseDroid I discovered that its scripting syntax was limited to 1 photo every 1 second (per device). Even so, my camera would only actually take a photo every 2 seconds (despite being able to manually take rapid sequences of photos). This may have been due to having an older camera (~2010) with a slow tethering interface. I revised my EclipseDroid script accordingly, scripting a photo every 2 seconds. I will definitely be using EclipseDroid again in 2024! // EclipseDroid USB 7.2.3 // Samsung Galaxy Note 4 // Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) // Nikon D90 // Tethering hardware: USB OTG (On The Go) adapter + mini USB cable // Tripod: Yes // Equatorial mount with motor drive: No // Eclipse 2017 viewing location: Albany, OR

2017-09-13	A *****	I tested a few eclipse apps and chose this one. It was almost 1 minute off of totality in Madras,OR. My Pixel had the exact time and GPS positioning. I'm disappointed, but by 2024,. I'll be using something else.

2017-08-22	A *****	This is a great app! I had several apps installed yesterday and the free version of this app displayed the best and most complete information with no advertising getting in the way. I'm buying the pro version as a thank you, and I hope you're around in 2024!

2016-02-10	A *****	Just need to be able to select scripts from elsewhere besides editing the one and only default available in the software would be better.
