    I want to like this app and when it works it is great but too flakey connecting with my Evolution scope.. says can see it but cannot connect. Uninstalled and reinstalled and discovered that I had missed a couple of updates.. why does the app not update itself or say it needs updating Also no way of updating except uninstall and install the new version.

    I’ve used this app every since purchasing our Celestron scope, it’s been great. But it no longer works on my iPhone 6 running iOS 12.4.9. Please fix this ☹️.

    I can’t think of anything positive to say about this app apart from the concept. I find that it is inconsistent when trying to move the scope. For me this app is not fit for purpose and I am regretting the purchase of the Astro Fi with a tripod that relies on this app to operate. It is disappointing to get error message without any support to discover what causes them.
