    Hi Roy, 

    Please check the Play Store for SkySafari app updates.  This issue might be resolved in an app update already.

    Please provide the following:

    • App and version.  See Help > scroll to the bottom.
    • Android OS version.
    • Short screen recording that shows the issue.  Show the workflow used in the app to  create the FOV.

    Thanks!

    Keiron, I created one the same size but it saves it as a circular fov, not rectangular.

    Excellent, Roy.  But, strange Mike found the same issue, same app version too.

    Mike, what do you think, is it still an issue?

    Thanks!

    Keiron,

    I've gone through creating a rectangular FoV several times, including the size Roy did. It seems that the only one I can create is the default 1.0 x 0.5 degree, everything else turns into a circular, 1 degree indicator.

    I am on the latest Android version 8.1.0.11 and have this issue.

    I have a Pixel 10 Pro, running Android 17

    This worked fine in SkySafari version 7 and my Rectangular FOV's imported into my version 8, but I have no ability to create new ones.

    Keiron Smith,

    The only version showing up in Play Store is 8.1.1.0, which I have on my phone, I did a test on that and it still creates a Circular FOV.

    Hi, this was fixed in 8.1.0 but it appears that it has regressed  or otherwise broken. Creating a new ticket now. Fix should come in the next update. Many thanks for the continued patience of everyone in this thread.
