Hello. I love this app. I’ve wanted an app that has satellite images from different points in time, but couldn’t find any. It does have a few things I don’t like or would like to be added. 1st, some of the images are poor quality. Now, this may not be possible to improve due to the satellite itself, but if there is a fix to make them better, I would definitely be happy. 2nd, some years are not listed, such as between 1998 and 2002. I would like more to be listed, if possible.Other than these, the app is perfect. Thanks.Edit: I still do love this app, but again, I’ve found an issue. When you first download the app, it takes up roughly 1 GB, but after about a day of use, the storage goes up. Mine has gone up to 10 GB, and in some instances up to 20 GB. I’m not sure what causes this, but it could cause problems for those on devices with less available storage.
