Crashes immediately on iOS 12.4 on iPad

Too bad. Hopefully JPL will update, retest, and release.

Doesn’t work on iOS 12

I loved this app. Worked great on the Pluto flyby but didn’t work for the Kiper belt object flyby.

Crashes on launch

New iPad gen 6, with iOS 12.1.1

Could be the new iOS?

Please update 2018

Hi,

Wonderful app for those of us who like to follow the mission.

Please fix for ios12

Thank you

Fix this app asap or fire the jerk who messed it up at Hopkins

This app is almost a brain dead creation by you jerks who can't even program an iPad app to work I am amazed we even got to Pluto with this kind of crap software..app fails to update and it fails to open when reinstalled so now there is nothing you morons...yes morons I am a Ph.D. From Berkeley and you should be publicly reprimanded for this

New Horizons

The app works great. Folks need to be patient as science takes time. The imagery is clear and things are organized nicely.

Low-res images :(

You need to include @2x and @3x images. I went to look at the pictures but they were too low-real to read the text in the image.

Too SLOW ....

This app is a nightmare to use and wait on. Images take minutes to load, sometimes don't load at all or it crashes out.....I'm in Australia on the NBN so my link is fast enough. I imagine there is no cache server locally for content.

Seems anybody can put an app together but the difference lies in the usage of the app. Hope the software on the space craft wasn't written by the same blokes!!

Maybe it's written so people don't take an interest, I know this App has deadened my interest........

Great app, judge for your self

I'm a programmer by trade. Here's the deal, people are quick to complain and demand that all the crap they have running on their phones should work with everything else all the time. This app draws on other servers (they can't control) plus they do not have the resources to program safeguards against poor programming of other apps. If you have Angry Birds, TV Guide and FXX Now all loaded you're lucky anything works. Bottom line, this is not a commercial app. You might need to meet it half way.

Get this app, it's fun, but do as I do: before loading, first shut down all other apps (remove from memory) and reboot your device. If you have problems, consider an operating system update. Be sure you have a solid wifi connection while using. I noticed that the app does not recover well from choking while accessing outside servers (like YouTube, etc.). Try to only use this app when using to a reliable Internet connection.

I've had zero problems and lots of fun.

I expected more

The app as been crashing for the past 3 days I will reinstall but it defiantly needs a complete overall I expected more out of this app from JHU-APL
