This app was the best I ever had, but I just bought the S24 and last night I went to use the app and it was weird. It had blackish grey opaque awkward shapes. I un-installed and installed and it stayed the same. I was about to pay for the upgrade and there were several people with the same issue with their S24. I even took off my otter box as some said to do, and no change. Very sad, as this was a great app. Please fix this.

This app worked beautifully until a couple of months ago when the compass went awry. When facing west it displays north and everything is 90° away from its correct position. The compass in another app I have still works correctly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no effect. Calibrating the compass as suggested in the help menu has not helped either.

Ive loved this app since i was 9, but i installed it on my phone just now and it's the same as i remember! However, whenever i turn my phone, my view will not change. It tries to follow my phone, but it simply goes back to wherever it was when i opened the app. North and south work fine, but left to right does not. Please fix this as it defeats the purpose of the whole app Nvm; it decided to fix itself as soon as i showed my mom
