Loses stars!! Ads are intrusion. Better choices. – APODViewerLite - Astronomy Picture of the Day Review

This WAS wonderfully done in many ways. It WAS ad-free and had a much better interface than many other APOD viewers. But now the ads clutter the bottom of the screen and the initial image is much too small. (You can double tap it to have it fill the screen, so that's good, but a larger image is needed to begin with.). The fonts and labels are in garish, clashing colors. The screen is far too busy Adding ads to a previously ad-free app is dirty pool. Put out a new app with more features and, if you must, include the ads-- or, even better, because ads are almost always an intrusion, just release an advanced app at a small price. To their credit, they did get rid of the creepy Munch-like icon, although there is now a creepy robot face behind the help text! Much better apps WERE APOD and Twilit Sky. ----------------- Prior Review Notes (I deleted the new version of the app after seeing the ads, so I don't know if the things I mention here have changed.) This free version saves the photos, but they're low-res, fuzzy. I was tempted to upgrade to the paid full version, but a review of it said it had the same problem!! Also wish that there'd be a way of having the photo automatically resize to full screen without having to pinch zoom! You should be able to tap the photo and it would fill the screen.
