Crashes

Since the last update the App continually crashes my iPhone 12 Pro. The phone is then locked and has to be rebooted. The previous versions worked very well.

New version does not detect mount mode

Since the update I am unable to connect to mount and I get a message of unable to detect mount mode. No good now via Wi-Fi on alt-az mount. Can I please get the previous version back!!

It finds what you want easily enough but doesn’t track them so only 3 stars from me.

Good App

Works well when the connection is not playing up. I use game pad buttons over the direction keys for ease of use in the dark. No solar tracking on the App (there is on the PC version??)

Nice App, unsuitable for stargazing.

Bought the Sky-Watcher AZ-GTI head yesterday on impulse. Downloaded this app and tested it with the mount last night. Seems to work just fine. One thing that really bugs me though. When in night mode a white bar remains at the top of the display ruining night vision. Also, what’s worse is that when you want to input a Messier number for example up pops the bright white keypad blinding you even when you have turned the brightness down! All this in night mode!!! That’s on my iPhone XS Max. It’s the same on my wife’s iPhone 6. What’s the point of having night mode that ruins your night vision? THIS APP IS CRAP FOR ACTUAL STARGAZING!

Great...when it works

Fab app with Wi-fi module. The problem is that the module and the module drop communication regularly leading to frustrating re- launching of the app to reconnect. When it works it’s first class, sadly it only works for short periods.
