The app used to be great, but out of nowhere, it can't even find the sun and i'm constantly having to manually adjust ant it not like a few degrees it's telling me I'm pointed west when I watching the sun rise in the east. Update / Dev response. Ok, so my settings appear correct. My phones built-in compass is giving me the correct direction. The app has full access to my location at all times. Am I supposed to recalibrate every time I open the app?

I paid for the premium to have a lifetime access and all features and addons. Worked nicely for 1 day. Since then it simply refuses to find my actual location. It flips everything 180 degrees. My GPS essentials app works fine. Google Maps works perfectly. Once you pay for the app premium it stops working. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to avoid this app.
