SkySafari 8 Pro for Android info display bug?

I've just upgraded from SkySafari 7 Pro to SkySafari 8 Pro. I use these apps on my phone (Samsung S23+). The layout for selected object informational display has changed between the two versions. In version 7, I am able to see/scroll to all sections of the object information display in both portrait or landscape mode. Version 8 seems to be optimized for use on a tablet because the Basic Information contents informational frame is truncated and cannot be read in portrait mode. While the Detailed Description contents cannot be viewed/scrolled in landscape mode. Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

    Hi Brian, 

    I cannot reproduce this issue using a Samsung S22 Ultra + Android 14.  This is



    So, I'm not sure is happening on your S23+.  But Developers will review your report and fix it.

    Please provide the following info:

    1. SkySafari version.  See Help > scroll to the bottom.
    2. Android OS.
    3. Device make and model.

    Thanks!

    Kevin,

    I just checked the reported display fault and it appears to have corrected itself. I don't know what action that I may have taken to either cause the fault or correct it.

    However, the information you requested is below.

    SkySafari Pro version 8.0.0.14
    Android version 16
    Samsung S23+, Model: SM-S916U1

    If visual proof of the display fault is required then please refer to the posted screen captures of the SkySafari Pro 8 object information display within my post on Cloudy nights.

    Keiron, the screenshot you have pictured above is fine on my device, in both portrait and landscape view. The other screen that goes with the Cave Nebula works properly only in portrait mode. When in landscape mode I cannot scroll to see the description text below.
