2019-07-03
Bugfix in 6.1.1:
• Planets made a little bigger in Skyview so they are easier to find.
New in 6.1:
• Change view orientation in 3D by swiping with two fingers. Switch mode by simply tapping either of two modes in the new mode control, or simply by swiping with two fingers to activate, tapping with two fingers to deactivate.
• 3D function now works in devices with no compass sensor, use two finger swipe to change orientation.

• Performance improvements
5.1
2018-12-03
New:
• In the Solar System View, tap on a planet or the sun to get info such as distances from the sun or the Earth, and Right Ascension + Declination.

New:
• Solar System View! Observe the planets around the sun, rewind and fastforward to see their movements around the sun. See why certain dates are better for missions to Mars!
Improvements:
• Map on the ground when you click on the grass - is now loaded in a smaller resolution, to make it load faster.
• Code updated to Swift 4.2.

• Ground is shown in AR mode
• Tweaks to the graphics in sky view, sun and moon made a little smaller, slight red twilight color at sunrise and sunsets.
