Features & Capabilities

Solar Snap is a one-stop Eclipse companion that combines a camera filter with a dedicated app to help you photograph the sun—from solar eclipses to everyday sunlit skies. It includes an offline global solar eclipse simulator with schedules and educational details, so you can plan and learn even without an internet connection.

Use the included Solar Snap filter kit to protect your phone camera and optionally adapt old eclipse glasses by cutting and taping them over the lens. The app also features video instructions and highlights major eclipses in 2026–2027 across Europe and the Middle East.

User Reviews

Solar Snap is widely praised for simplifying solar eclipse photography with a proper solar filter. Reviewers highlight easy control of focus, zoom, and exposure, plus intervalometer/auto-bracketing and a totality mode for hands-off shots. It often yields better eclipse images than the native camera and is noted for preserving user privacy by not harvesting data. Reported drawbacks are mostly isolated UI quirks or device-specific exposure issues; some users request clearer lens mapping and remote shutter support. The filter kit is frequently recommended as part of the setup.
Pros
  • Easy to use with quick, intuitive control over focus, zoom, and exposure; autofocus generally works well.
  • Works very well with a solar filter to produce high-quality eclipse photos.
  • Intervalometer/auto-bracketing enables timed, hands-off shooting during the eclipse.
  • Totality mode provides hands-off shots and reliable results during totality.
  • Privacy-friendly: does not harvest data from the device.

Stuck a piece of an eclipse sunglass on my iPhone camera and took awesome photos of the partial eclipse from my backyard! Great for moon photos!
