[Bug]* Notifications Still Fire Even When Disabled

Hi,

I've just updated to SkySafari 7 Pro (version 7.0.0.25). It appears to "ignore" some of the settings. I'm using a Samsung S22 Ultra with Android 12, One UI 4.1.

  • The chart displays both hemispheres of the sky, in spite of having the setting to display the horizon and sky as a translucent area. It's also black when I have show horizon glow and show daylight enabled.
  • I'm still getting notifications even though I've set all notifications to off in the app. Have managed to stop them for now by disabling them in the android system settings, but I would like to have more selective control over notifications.

 

I've attached screen shots of the sky chart and settings.

Cheers,

Dave

    I'm having the same issues.  I get planet rising, transit notifications even after turning it all on and off a few times.  Same phone as well (Galaxy S22 Ultra, fully updated).

    It's actually worse that I thought. I've disabled Skysafari notifications in Android's setting, but all my system notifications  now come with the grating Skysafari notification sound!

    I was able to disable all notifications through android for SS7 Pro and then fix my other notifications back to what I had previously and now its OK.   Hopefully it'll just require an update and it'll be all patched up.

    Hi, we should have a fix for the notifications in the 7.0.1 update - which we will try to release tomorrow (Friday).

    Dave, on the translucent horizon - I'm unable to replicate.  Can you reset your sky chart settings and then see if that helps?  Menu-Settings and then scroll down and tap "Revert Chart to Factory Defaults".  Let us know how it goes. Thank you.

    Hi Pedro,

    Thanks for the response. Just tried that and the horizon is back. If I then switch back and forth between settings->Coordinates->Equatorial and settings->Coordinates->Horizon, the horizon disappears and reappears. I've just looked and the same behaviour is present in version 6.

    After looking at the version 6 settings, I've now got the behaviour I was after with Grids & Reference->Show Grid (with Equatorial Coordinates).

    Managed to regain the system notification sound with a reboot, but would be good to have a fix for the notification settings in the app itself.

    Hi Dave, the 7.0.1.1 update is now available in Google Play, and addresses the issue with not being able to disable notifications.

    Um.... Um......

     

    It has reared it's little head again.

     

    On SkySafari Pro 7.0.3 2  Beta the notification issue has come back to haunt me. In the notification settings I only have Martian Moons selected.

     

     

    I am seeing this one come through.

    Looks like it was sent by SS7 Plus, not SS7 Pro.  If you have Plus installed, update to 7032 and update the notifications in that app as well.

    Yeah........... I noticed that. I started testing each app on different devices a couple weeks back. Wanted to make sure one wasn't affecting the other. After I saw it I was supposed to come back and comment again..... I got busy and forgot.

    Disregard or delete the posts....
