SkEye | Astronomy version
Updated At: 2025-11-17
Changes: Major change!
The app now lets the user update the comet data through the internet without waiting for me to package a new release. To update the data go to Settings -> Catalogs -> Comets and click "Update".
Note: This feature requires the Internet permission. I resisted adding the feature for so long because I wanted to avoid the Internet permission. But given that interesting comets have been appearing in quick succession, I had to support this feature along with the additional permission.
