I loved this app, but I think the lack of updates have caught up to it. Recently got a Pixel 4a and a lot of the app just doesn't work on newer phones. You can't add the sky grid or the artificial horizon, which makes the app hard to use. The audio also doesn't work anymore.

I have used this app for years and years (and years. Lol.). Paid for the extras. More than worth it. Never ever had any problems, no matter what brand or model device I was using. Brilliantly laid out with lots of options for setup and the UI. Highly recommended.

Used to be good, but I moved from an older phone to a Samsung S9+ and it just crashes each time I open the app. No update available to fix this yet. In fact, last updated Nov 2017. It's now May 2020.
