Great app but recently it had stopped working on my fone as most people with this app is rather handy so I'm missing is usefulness at work. 5 starts when there's a fix. Samsung gs4

I like the idea of this app, but it's lacking in some elements which limit it's usefulness to me. First, the list of manuals seems dated. 2 examples which spring immediately to my attention are the limited information under the Chamsys heading(magicVis and MagicHD are missing), and the total lack of anything about hog 4. Second, I would like to see the ability to open documents in another viewer, rather than being confined to the apps somewhat limited pdf reader.

Please please please get someone to manage your app that we paid good money for. Lighting fixtures and manuals are constantly changing and updating. Someone should be on top of this. Also I suggest you add a section that links to fixture profiles for the top 5 lighting consoles. Another section with console firmwares.

I loved this app on my HTC One m8. I reformatted the phone, RE-installed the updated version of the app and now whenever I click on "library" (the feature that I love most) I get told "unfortunately lighting handbook has stopped". Which means it's now pointless. If you can fix that, I'll love it again.
