It appears on the screen then disappears. The developers website is a Facebook page which is totally unhelpful for a user who left Facebook years ago - so no way to get help. **Developer response:** Hi. Thank for using. You can email me at ustransit74@gmail.com. It seems you can open the app and go to the help and then Facebook. Can you provide more details when it crashes eg like tab a button. This app is huge as in widget for moon, comet, satellite, horizon etc. what do you want to do in this app? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-10-31* Doesn’t work for me, starts, then closes ## Frequently asked questions about AstroWidget ### What celestial bodies can I track with Sun, Moon and Planets Widget?
