I ...Ok, I understand and the comment is struck out. I understand about Google and Adobe Air, which is not used by many developers anymore, although National Geographic continues to use it. I understand people prefer apps on mobile platforms than computers, and many of the latter prefer browser-based apps. I understand producing a standalone computer-based app isn't worth the work considering the customer base and Apple's App Store policy, especially if you make it a free product. <br /><br />All that doesn't take away the flexibility of a computer-based standalone app than a browser-based one, which made TPE worthwhile, but as noted on the Website for TPE it still is useful for photographers as a browser app. I use a copy on my iPad with the other similar apps for sun and moon information.WSR Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578476190552952347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592133360128194681.post-82302798486337790012015-07-15T18:58:02.115-07:002015-07-15T18:58:02.115-07:00Well - I'm the developer, and I didn't cod...Well - I'm the developer, and I didn't code any date into the app to kill it - it died the day Google dropped support for Adobe AIR when they turned down the Google Maps for Flash API.

The AIR app was dropped because Google Maps stopped supporting both it and Adobe Flash.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964829751591000554noreply@blogger.com
