### 1/5 — Collapse since last update

*2024-04-15*

Loved this app, including its nuance that the times projected were always from the user’s local time.
Since the last update, the app crashes seconds after losing. Every time. Hope it’s rectified or I’ll look for a replacement

### 3/5 — Great but ads make it difficult to use

*2023-10-29*

I have loved this app and been using it for years - they have just added advertising that pops up and covers the full page as you move around the map, makes it difficult to use.

### 1/5 — No Azimuth

*2023-10-21*

No Azimuth for sun/moon rise set that I could find (except by going to the predicted times).  Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Super
