Ratings and reviews

To make something complicated (like Nina) to be this simple to use... Two words: Wow! There are two things that I find buggy: 1. The dialog box can't be closed. 2. The app worked fine the first time, but didn't work the second time I was trying to use it - until I deleted the found, and supposedly working "instances*, from the previous session, and restarted the instance. 3. The Dialog box is still there. can't close it. ^_^

I am unable to completely close the "What's new" dialog box that appears when the app starts after latest update. Tapping the close 'X' button does not close the window and make app nearly unusable (minimize dialog works).

Very useful during winter astrophotography sessions, laptop can stay outside, and I can operate it from the couch ;)

What’s new

Fix: All Instances are now able to be discovered
