Pointless upgrade

This used to be a really good App. Now deleted

Not what it used to be

Waited a long time to write this since new update. Keeps logging me out, new update sucks, new ship past track lines sucks. Actually sucks. Wish they kept the old one. Finding a new app as we speak.

What Happened?

The old app worked good. The new one lags so bad it’s unusable. I’m considering my options.
