Great experience

Great suggestion! Thank you! I’m pretty sure it’s doable on the technical level.

I have recently noticed that there have been no photos lately??
Response from developer
Hi there! Thank you for your review! New photos are added daily, just as before. However, if you only use the widget and never open the app, the widget might’ve stopped working recently. I decided to focus on the core app experience and deprecate the widget to emphasize the educational aspect, not just nice pictures. The first fruits of this shift in focus are already here: v6.27 ships with “AI follow-ups” which add another layer of educational value to the photos. This feature is gradually rolling out to all users, and I’d love to get your feedback once you’ve tried it! The widget may return in the future, but for now I just don’t have the resources to support it. I apologize for that—working as a solo developer comes with hard choices sometimes.

Not giving me a daily picture, just past images
Response from developer
Hi! I just checked the app and its back-end service, and both seem to work just fine: The app showed a picture for every day I requested. If you rarely open the app and only use the home-screen widget, please note that iOS may “freeze” apps’ widgets (so they show outdated content) in some cases: if you’re low on battery, if you don’t open the app for too long, etc. The widget should refresh as soon as you open the app. Please email me at apps@ym.dev if it’s still not working, and I’ll look into it.

I’m really glad you enjoy the app! Thanks for your kind words!
Великолепно
Best stellar pictures
Crashes
3/30/2020 v4.11 problem persists as stated on 3/5. Deleted, reinstalled, tapped to launch, and returned to home screen. Note that when force quitting, the app “card” looks to be the day’s image. Same devices and iOS as reported on 3/8.
3/8/2020 Interesting that you don't have the device and iOS info as the 3/5 comment was posted from an iDevice. Anyway, iPhone SE and iPad Pro both running iOS 12.4.1
3/5/2020 v4.10.2 after downloaded update; tap “open” results in my home screen. Force quit app. Tap “open” = same crash.

Thank you for your patience! It‘s taken me a while to identify the issue, but I think I’ve got it now. The patch will come in v4.12, which is already in review, so you can expect it in a day or two.
Love it

Not going to happen. Space Photos has been free for the 8 years since its launch, and it will remain free.
Nice

Thanks for your five-star rating! I really hope the app will keep up to your expectations.
