Moon and sun trajectory are gone. They don’t exist anymore. As a Gardner I find this very inconvenient. As an astrophotographer, I find this violently disturbing.

Because this app grew because of population. Now half of the features, in order to use them, you need to have your debit card. Momma mia. It was great until the previous updates wanting a subscription to use features. It's like you can't find anything now. Or it's there but hidden behind a subscription fee. Not happening. The music whilst using the app is great. Can be slow because of all the useless stuff that was added. Navigating through it is more annoying than before.
