I can’t delete

I tried to download this app. It won’t work on my iPhone. Every time I install another app, I get a pop up saying it isn’t compatible and do I want to keep or delete. Neither option works.

App no longer runs

This used to be a great app, but I haven’t been able to use it in a few years. It crashes immediately after opening. Does it need to be updated for the newer IOSs?

UPDATE (May 2021): The latest version of IOS won’t even let this app run any more, and gives you a choice to update or cancel. If you choose update, it’ll try to update, but since there is no update, you get another choice to remove the app or cancel. The developer seems to have abandoned this app, as it hasn’t worked in years, and there have been no updates in years.

Can’t even install

I got a new phone and I kept getting an error message every time my phone tried to redownload this app. I deleted it and tried to reinstall from the store, but it’s the same problem. No other app did this. I guess I’ll give up as it seems to be abandoned and not working for anyone anyway.

Crashes

Crashes when I enter a zip. Deleting

Was excited about using this app but...

An amateur astrophotographer, I was looking forward to using this app, but I can’t open it without it crashing. So disappointed.

Used to be Hreat

Had this app with an older phone and it worked great. Installed today and won’t even load. Crashed immediately so very disappointed.

Christian, used to love your app

Alas, clearly not updated for iOS updates. Christian, if u have the time would love to have this working again — one of a handful of truly fun naked eye sky gazing apps

App does not open!

Crashes 100% of the time

Crashes 100% of the time after opening (deleted app and reinstalled did not help one bit)...crashes within 1 second...junk

Total fail

Kept freezing and crashing. Uninstalling.

App doesn’t even open. Constantly crashes

Crashes in the first second. Have removed and reinstalled it. Won’t open. It’s pretty much a paperweight in the App Store.

Won’t stay open.

App opens for a second, then crashes. Using an iPhone 7

Crashes on load

Nothing further to add.

Doesn’t open

This used to be a five-star app but now the app won’t even launch on my iPhone X. Crashes from the splash screen every time.

No longer works

Don’t know what happened.

Flawed

I assume it’s terrific software, but if it can’t even figure out my location, it’s hard to tell if it works.

Tried every way to force location to it. Nada

Worthless

Just spins, and spins, and spins while trying to locate me. Even when I enter my zip code. Worthless. I’m deleting.

Quit working.

2/25/2019 quit again just spins. Used to work but now does not. Just spins deleted reinstalled and still nothing. What happened?

Current location

App just spins and spins, looking for its current location, never coming to a resolution.

Good but needs better notifications!

This app does a great job of predicting flares, and when I've seen them they have been great. But the reminder can only be set 5 minutes in advance, and regardless of what I set in the iPhone Notifications the reminder is a silent banner, so unless I happen to actually be looking at my phone 5 minutes before the flare it's no use. If it could be set to play a sound that would solve the problem
