Cache Does Not Work

Bozocity

Still after March 2014 update, must reload images every time app is opened. App can not load images from cache after closing and reopening, despite 8MB cache meter suggesting they remain installed. Renders WiFi only devices useless in the field. Eats airtime over cellular connection, or similarly renders phone useless at remote site out of range of towers. Why? Prior Review: Too Slow Every Time * The app installs without any images. These are downloaded from a server, either individually or in bulk. Either way, the images are far oversized and slow to install. Worse, the are not saved upon quitting, so one must endure the download every time the app loads. Astronomy apps with far larger databases of images download complete and ready for use. This app might be interesting if it followed that model. It's too bad, because the pictures are good. None of this flashy false-color stuff, but actual black-and-whites showing what you might see at the eyepiece.
