An editorial reading of the saved reviews

This was once a favorite for finding planets, praised for accuracy and simplicity over competitors, and people bought paid features. But right now it simply does not work, crashing instantly on launch after an iOS update and going unfixed for months, with an expired SSL certificate for some. Deleting and reinstalling does not help, and even five-star reviewers describe the same crash.
