2. Email button, under info, does not work.

Apple phone app doesn’t work

The app itself is handy. I sprung for the in- app purchase and like the more detailed star charts. When opened on the watch, no data is displayed

Double dips on the unlock feature

This app insists on you paying $1.99 for each iOS device that you want to see the large charts. This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue on any app. I reported this as well but the developer hasn’t responded. Please fix.
