Thank you for being our customer and leaving us a wonderful 5-star review.

Inaccurate AR

I wanted to like this, I need a way to track the moon in the sky, but something is odd with the compass and AR mode. The regular compass mode seems to work when calibrated, but the AR mode drifts around like crazy. This is below what other apps are able to achieve.
