it's usually almost just a full black screen. The Earth is just visible as a very small line.

It has been great and I used to love it, but now it won't update the Himawari 8 image, and when I reinstall it, I don't get any image, just a black screen. If you could fix that, it would be fantastic and I'll give it 5 stars.
