What’s new
Version 1.0.2 · Updated June 27, 2026
Thanks for all of your collective feedback on the app. We've fixed several related issues with the horizon and the altitude/azimuth gridlines not reflecting your selected location. We've also tweaked the look of these lines and changed the way the deep sky panorama moves as you pan around, so your local horizon is kept level.
