This application is very good, it has helped me many times with astronomical observations, as well as clarifying the details of astronomical events of the past years. However the realized choice between the years (1550 and 2300) is not fast in my opinion. It would be better to make an additional (or alternative) set of the desired year from a numeric keypad.

User experience is just terrible. I tried to save my location but even after doing it the location goes back to default location. And there seems to be no way get prediction for my location. Total waste of time.
