Fix this App!!!!!!
Now it just crashes in 3D !! It is junk.. The update made it WORSE!! Ripoff!
Version 2.2.1 is out!!!
FINALLY! A new version has been released and all the problems I previously described have been debugged! Once again I am very happy with this app. And just in time as I almost purchased the $30 Helios app. Thanks to the developers for finally making this awesome app awesome again. Just one question. What the &$#** took so long!?
Works like a charm - great features!
I must have an updated version because I don't have any of the problems reported by other users. Works perfectly - quickly and accurately and the cost makes it a bargain. Great feature set!
