Missing radio frequencies

App used to be great and include the radio frequencies. Now all that is missing and no longer available. Zero support on the issue

Update:
Devs saw this and responded and have made an update that restore radio frequency data. All is well. 5 stars again

Response from developer

You're right - radio frequencies were missing for about half of the satellites. We just released version 2.7.2 which fixes this problem. Thanks for the bug report.

希望支持简体中文

Hello developer, I hope you can support Simplified Chinese. Many Chinese users do not know English or cannot understand it, which prevents them from using this app. They have to use translation software or AI to translate it, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, I hope you can add Simplified Chinese support to this app, as it would make it much more convenient for many Chinese users.

FYFree，thank you

Response from developer

Thank you for the suggestion! 谢谢您的建议！

Only cause I had to pay.

This app is darn good. It’s just because I had to pay it, that’s the only reason why I gave it four stars. But wow we got to use an app to see the stars in the city.😭🥲😅🤣🧐🤨🧐

Review update

Following my poor review, I have managed to get past the "quick start" screen and the app looks great. In truth I've not yet used it much do my 5 star rating is based on the general look and feel of the app.

App does not work

I’ve tried everything and unable to get the “motion” to work. Waste of money.
