Would be great if it worked

This app has the potential to be the best for astrophotography and image stacking if it actually stacked your images without crashing. There are a multitude of settings and adjustments that you could make that you wouldn’t find anywhere else and it’s layout is great but anytime I attempt to stack any number of images (even two on the lowest settings), every time it gets to 65% it automatically crashes. I’m not willing to jeopardize any money on upgrading my free subscription to find out if it works then I doubt it. Make it work and it’d be well worth the money though.

App makes it so you sorta have to pick a paid option to do anything. tapping ‘free’ when a paid/free choice pops up does not work. I paid the seven bucks. It isnt worth the seven bucks I paid for it. Now I have to wait for it to show up on my itunes account or whatever to request a refund. It isnt siril. It isnt pixinsight. It couldnt produce results with known good input. skip it. would have rated it one start except nobody takes a one start serious.
