Depuis plusieurs jours, les images n’apparaissent plus. Astronomy Picture sans picture 🤣

Videos don’t play properly in landscape mode

The app works well overall, but there’s an issue with video playback in landscape mode. When I rotate my phone to landscape while watching a video, the app automatically switches back to portrait mode and the video stops playing.

Please fix the landscape video playback and allow videos to continue playing when the device is rotated.

APOD Sync Delay: New Posts Appear a Day Late

The app is always one day behind. It never displays NASA’s APODs as soon as they are published. For June 27th, there is no APOD available, and the latest entry shown is June 26th.

Fix please: I love this app but its newest iteration has not been showing video, just blackness

Very good but flawed

I thought I was orginal

I thought a NASA photo a day would be such a cool widget idea. It already exists! So awesome. I got the app today and the photo of the day is… nothing. Just a huge blank space with a description of a photo that was meant to be there? It’s my first day with the app so it’s mega disappointing off the bat. Maybe I’ll make a photo collection and use my iPhones native widget features instead 😅
