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.

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.

Great app

Hey guys great app, works great! Been using it for years.

Would love to see a widget developed for my phone to be able to track the sun without needing to open the app or even to just have quick access to it.

Anyway! Great app, would buy it again :)

Thanks
