My class is using it totally and im using it in my Home
Not working on iPhone 14Pro

I really like the idea behind this app, but since it doesn’t work on my iPhone 14 Pro, I can only give it 1 star. The stars doesn’t move/update, when I move my phone around in AR-mode, and that kind of makes it useless in my opinion. I have contacted the developer but haven’t received an answer.
Dear Stargazer,
This version fixes the camera snapshot issue occurring on latest versions of iOS.
Best,
