Great app, but it’s missing something.

I like what this app can do but I don’t understand why there’s no widget, especially if I chose to pay for the complete version. Most of my shooting is on the fly and I have widgets to tell me exactly what info I need to know on the go. I’d be happier with my purchase if there was a widget, especially since free apps like Magic Hour provide it at no cost. 🤷🏻‍♂️

App is completely broken and 100% inaccessible

The app is now forever stuck on the loading screen and does not load. Restarting my device does not fix the issue. I have emailed the developed and he has not replied. I will update my review when he makes this app usable again. I paid for the app which makes this a particularly frustrating issue. PLEASE FIX THE APP!

Paid the dollar for notifications

Paid the money for the upgrade so I could get notifications but they never come through.

Leider keine Daten verfügbar

Hallo, leider bleibt mir kein anderer Weg da unter „App Support“ keine Homepage verfügbar ist und der Apple Support sich nicht zurück meldet.
Trotz der Standortfreigabe bekomme ich nur angezeigt „loading Data“. Auch bei Eingabe eines direkten Standort das selbe. Habe die App als Vollversion gekauft.
Bitte um Unterstützung.

Does not respect privacy

Demands location data on start, and never provides a way forward without (e.g. manually type in city or zip code?). app is completely useless without this. fine, I'll just go to any of the many websites that have similar info in a slightly less convenient way.
