Why Is SkySafari 6 Changing To The Wrong Time Zone (Needs Help)

Hi, SkySafari Pro 6 in my iPhone 8 is showing incorrect timezone for my location. I am in Chile currently in Chile Summer time witch is GMT-3, when I start SkySafari Pro 6 and select current location, it goes to GMT-4.... to get the correct time I have to manually change to GMT-3, but each time I choose current location it goes back to GMT-4.

This also happens when reopening the app after a few hours of no use, so I have to re-enter manually the correct GMT-3 each time I open the app, unless I'm continuously using it... its very annoying. This is the only astronomy app I have tried that gets the incorrect timezone for the current location, this needs to be fixed.

Thanks

Pablo

    Hi Pablo, 

    Bill, our SkySafari developer, is away at the Okie_Tex star party this week.  Updates to this discussion may not come until next week.

    Thanks for your patience!

    Please take a look into this issue, it's really annoying to have to change the timezone almost every time I use SSP 6. The problem seems to be with the daylight savings time setting that's not up to date to the current time use here in Chile. Why don't you use the IOS system time (or include an option to use it)?? that's always updated to use the latest daylight savings times currently in use.

     

    Thanks
