### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2021-12-03, version 2.1.18*

Used for over a year with no issues, now it no longer shows the sun paths. Reinstalled, same thing. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work correctly

*2020-04-17, version 2.1.16*

Displays mirror image of sun’s path (sun rising in west) as if it thinks it’s looking through the front facing camera. There is no setting to fix this.
The 2D view shows correctly, but what’s the point.
