The black to blue background is lost to the new and abused Android 5. We lost rights and you lost right to profit so all but Samsung benefitted by these use of property controls.

I downloaded it and used it for less than two minutes when it froze and force closed. It was also not quite what I was looking for. Uninstalled.

I've had it on all my android devices because I'm a space nut. This app does its job. It gives me what I wanted, and I'm most likely going to get the full version! Looks good on the Nexus 5!

Half the images say "bakeout" & the coronagraphs show a future timestamp... makes me wonder if I can trust the two remaining photos.

The Continuum and Magnetogram images need re-coded. NASA no longer uses MDI imaging for these pictures. NASA now uses SDO/HMI imaging as of 1/11.
