Love this app, but it’s not working

I can no longer see the moon phases on the moon tab of this ap. All the other tabs work correctly.
Update? I see there is something about a preview of a new way to see the moon but nothing works on that tab.

Missing some planets.

Not a bad app, but kind of annoying that after you pay to unlock the part of the app that shows the positions of the planets, it only shows six planets, plus the sun and moon. Where are the other three (or two, if you believe the hype about Pluto not being a "real" planet)? It's not like it would be that hard to add the extra information. Sloppy programming. 👎 UPDATE: Apparently when Apple screws up and loses your backup and ALL YOUR DATA GETS WIPED, this app also forgets the additional content you paid for and requires that you pay for it again when you reinstall. What a garbage app.

Lovely and informative.

This is a handy app to have whether your interest is astronomical, astrological, or both. The moon image is realistic yet aesthetically pleasing as well. I also appreciate how they managed to provide a great deal of useful information without making the interface look busy. Thanks again to the developer(s).
