Widget Broken!

Map inside the widget is actually tiny on my 15 pro and the writing is now unreadable…
Very sorry I updated!

Needs a lot of work

When I first open the app the night time shadow is shifted. To correct you have to go to landscape to correct whatever problem this issue currently has. Amateurish at best.

Day & Night Map

Just love seeing where the sun is overhead and its journey up and down between the tropics.
