Big EarthCam fan but new update bites

I’m a paid subscriber and have been for a very long time. But I will never link my Facebook or Google accounts to it. I don’t link them to anything and I’m disappointed that you chose to incorporate this. In the meantime I tried to post a pic to the hall of fame to get the cam operator’s attention and it gives me error messages and won’t let me post anything. I don’t post there often but I’d still like the feature to work. I’ll up the star count here when the glitch is fixed. Thank you.
What happened to the National Mall cam??

What happened to the National Mall cam?? In fact, there should be many more in D.C. And NYC. PLUS, the video keeps pausing temporarily or forever, and some views show 'archive' footage or stills. Boooooo. $5 wasted for thee 'extra' cams.
Much better, but tab bar navigation is still awkward

My only gripe about this app in general what I always had. The tab bar navigation is non-standard and the developer(s) seem to have invented their own navigation system, which makes it somewhat frustrating using the favorites section. When you read the HIG on Tab Bars, it says: "...tab bars provides the ability to quickly switch between different sections of an app. ...In general, use a tab bar to organize information at the app level. A tab bar is a good way to flatten your information hierarchy and provide access to several peer information categories or modes at once. ...Always switch contexts in the attached view. To keep your interface predictable, selecting a tab should always affect the view that’s directly attached to the tab bar, not another view elsewhere on screen." With that said, I frequently use my Favorites section. When I select an item from the favorites and I use the back navigation, it should take me back to the Favorites section, NOT the Network tab. The reason tabs exist so that the user selects which tab s/he wants to interact with. When you do back navigation, you don't automagically switch to a different tab and send the user there. That is inconsistent. I understand that designers and developers can be stubborn and use the my way or the highway approach. But that is just bad UX. Look at the Music app. The Music app has different tabs: My Music, Playlist, Radio, etc. When you switch to one of the tabs and drill down in the navigation IN THAT SPECIFIC TAB, when you do a back navigation you don't magically find yourself navigated back to a different tab. As an example, when you browse your playlists and do a drill down, upon back navigation you don't magically find yourself back in the My Music tab. That is a completely different section. You could also look at the Photos app. There are two tabs: Photos and Albums. Once you select a tab and drill down in the navigation in the selected tab, upon back navigation you don't magically find yourself under a different tab. That is the user's decision. When I navigate inside my Albums tab content, I don't find myself magically navigating back to the Photos tab. These are just two examples of how the tab bar should be used for navigation. Because the EarthCam team decided to utilize their own "version" of how tab bar navigation should work, it is quite awkward to go to my Favorites tab, drill down into the content by selecting a feed, and when I navigate back, I find myself under the Network tab, and now I have to select the Favorites tab again to select another favorite. I know stubbornness rules, but please fix this and provide correct a navigation scheme when dealing with tabs. iTouch 5G / iOS 9.3.5

Ever since I purchased Earthcams many cams I look forward to viewing all the different places and how exciting it is for me. Especially since I’ve never traveled to anywhere in the world let alone a foreign country so I basically feel like I’m there when I look at the different people, places and things. It’s a learning experience too. Definitely recommend Earthcam!!
Slow loading

I have had this app for about a month and with this last update some of the cameras are taking much longer to load and the app freezes. It’s worth the extra to get all the cams, but would be better if we had some control like you have with the PC site.
