  • Unusable UI Update

    By Tempest02
    I’ve been using this app for years. It’s been the single best night sky app I’ve ever used. However, this new ui update makes the app unusable to me. Now when you search for something, normally it puts a circle around the object, but now the moment the object moves off screen the circle disappears and you lose focus of the object you are on. How that got through review is beyond me, since the entire point of the app is to find things. You almost had to go out of your war to intentionally deselect the object once it scrolls out of view. Luckily it still works in compass view. Please fix.

    After this latest upgrade, the compass is WAY off. Same phone, same place, compass off by several degrees.

    My wife and I live in two different cities, half the time and I love getting the notifications and calling her who is hours away and we’re both can look at the sky and see the same stars and talk about the constellations❤️

    This is my favorite app! Informative, not pushing me to do anything, even doing a rating. I like how I can identify what I am seeing in the sky, getting instant confirmation.
