After Latest Apollo 11 Update Sky Safari 6 Pro Crashes When Select Settings (Answer: We Are Working On It!)

Have been a SS user for years....have run the Pro 6 version on both a Samsung Cell phone and Galaxy tablet with no problems until recently. I installed Apollo feature on both...worked fine on Cell phone but when it installed on tablet I can no longer access settings. I decided to remove SS and reinstalled after doing so it will still install and show correct screen but when ever I try to select settings it will crash program.

    I am having the same problem after taking the update. Did not install Apollo  add on. Crashes even time hit settings or tonight's best. I need this app to work I am using for my DSC setup on my DOB and I am going to my local Star Party at the end of next week.  Anyway  to go back to pervious  version or update before this last update. I  am dead in the water without this app working. Using it on a Samsung S4 tablet running Lolipop. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All,

    Just wanted to let you know that we're on it, and looking for a fix. The best thing you can do is provide as many details as possible to help us narrow down the search.

    Most importantly:

    1) What version of Android are you using.

    2) What are the (exact) steps you're doing to cause the crash. (Although in this instance, it seems pretty straightforward!)

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Dave,

    I am running on Android 5.1.1   on a Samsung Galaxy SMT-900 tablet.  I have been running all previous versions including SS 6 PRO without an issue. At the same time I tried to include the Apollo add on I decided to update to the latest release which came out on July 19th. Perhaps the latest release has an issue. 

    It would load but when I tried to save any settings it would crash and give the failure notice. I thought that perhaps the Apollo add on was the issue so removed the complete app and tried to reload without the Apollo app and although I could open the sky view and move around, etc. it crashed again whenever I try to save settings. 

    I did add the Apollo add on but did NOT update to the latest July 19th release on my cell phone and it works fine as before.  It is a Samsung S8 with 8.0.0 Android.

    Until a fix is found....is there a way I can go back to a previous version of the SS 6 PRO? 

    I received notice that another person had the identical problem on his tablet after loading the latest July 19th release.

    I loaded the BETA SS 6 Pro latest and it cured the problem. Easiest way to get BETA is to join the BETA tester group which I was able to do per the instructions here on the community forum. You may also be able to join from the Play Store.  Thanks to all for the quick fix. I use this app constantly and relieved the issue was fixed quickly.
