Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this, and we’re really sorry about the experience. A bug in version 1.4.0 could indeed cause crashes and prevent interactions like tapping on planets. We’ve fixed this issue in version 1.4.1, which is now available on the App Store. Please update to the latest version and let us know if everything works as expected. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly appreciate your patience.
