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 😅

Black screen issue

The black screen issue has decreased the star level from 5 to 2. It is annoying as it has been a prevalent issue for a long time and although numerous people comment every time it happens, no one acknowledges the comments or the issue. So it proves- no one of any import is monitoring the comments and they obviously have no interest in the product they are producing - odd as this is supposed to be I presume a public education effort. I do acknowledge that if you are lucky enough to work at NASA that you are busy have much more important stuff to do but it would be appreciated if someone at NASA knows anyone that is responsible for this APOD app . If they could grab the largest megaphone available and put it two inches from their ears and shout - HUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

Very bad app

It puts watermarks over any saved photos, it’s impossible to the use the saved photos as wallpapers or anything. No other app does this joke of rubbish. Do not install this app.
