[Bug] SkySafari 6 Pro | Are Observing Lists Saved Locally And What Is Fetching?

I can't find my post from a couple hours ago so will put a new one in.  As stated the first imported list was not where they used to be (who moved my cheese?).  I did see blank lists under the observe tab but all it said was "fetching".  For grins I imported a list from post lists and all of a sudden the previous list showed up with a name and objects.  So I kept downloading lists sent to myself previously by email.  Sometimes the names would show up and sometimes previous lists suddenly lost their names and only displayed a symbol and "fetching".  This happened a few times and now they seem stable.  My concern is will the lists be available when I don't have internet while observing?  When I see "fetching" I am concerned the list is not really in 6 pro but resides only in the cloud.  Is this a glitch or do I really not have my lists on my iPad?

    We keep a local database on the device with all your data.  This database is synced to LiveSky.  Yes, of course we design this so you would have access to all your data while offline observing.  When you get back online, any change you have made will be synced again with LiveSky.

    Not sure what to make of the "Fetching".  Did you see your lists, but the objects in the list were missing, or was it the lists themselves that were missing?

    Peter,

    I have been told that the "Fetching..." problem will be solved in the 6.0.1 release due around the middle of next week.
