★★★★★
Great for viewing current GNSS satellites, and the AR mode is really handy for getting a sense of where satellites, however the UI is a bit dated and I would like to see a way to adjust the AR field of view, so it matches the camera (you have to tilt the phone, so satellites are centered to get an idea of where they truly are)
★★★★★
I wished they had a version that worked in Oreo 8.1. That said, It is listed that 7.1 is the highest version of Android that GNSS will work with. What I see is a quick flash of the satellite positions then the camera takes over and the dome disappears.
★★☆☆☆
Db error it says in the first launch. Doesn't work on Android 9
