Chiron Never Looked So Good
Wow. This is by far the best Astronomy tool I have used in a long time! The alternative apps I have used have not matched up compared to this one. It has very smooth graphics, it’s beautiful, and by far the best perk: you can move the phone to uncover what the sky looked like when you were born! I also purchased this Pro because 22 magnitude objects are included and I wanted to see Chiron (at about 16m) the standard only showing 10 magnitude.

Night mode + Search
One major problem while in Night Mode. While using the search function the on-screen keyboard is NOT affected. This defeats the purpose of being in Night Mode.

Is there a work around?
Thank you

Edit:
Thanks for the reply. I understand the difficulty that might be. Here is a thought, perhaps ally with a current popular keyboard app which allows theme changes. It could open up some kind of possibility of not having to re-invent the keyboard, so to speak.
