Why is this app so annoying

The rotation feature is not working ever since I bought this app. Why are you taking so much money and not even providing basic features

Helios

Helios is the best and more accurate app for sun position. The developer respond very fast to any questions suggestions. In the movie industry it is the reference.

Waste of time

I’ve tried using this app on several occasions and it’s always a struggle to get it to recognize where I am and what time it is. Painfully frustrating.

Could you send an email to me--I'd like to discuss. Many thanks in hope nic@chemicalwedding.tv

App crashes immediately

iPhone 15 Pro - was only able to open it once, and it crashed as soon as I tried to set the timezone. Now it won’t even make it past the splash screen.
