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.

Using Distant Suns for many years in both IOS and Android. Still amazing!

On Android OS there is no support no upgrades no updates available. This version is not worth the money because it does not include what is included on the iOS version or even the old Commodore Amiga version. Don't waste your money
