May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Just a note that I gave a 1 hour presentation on The Astro Imaging Channel talking about how I do deep sky on an Goto Dob meant for observation. Â Several times I note APP as one of the big enablers and I explain why it really stood out:

Perhaps seeing how I utilize APP in my odd-ball Alt/Az use case may inspire some creative thinking for features and optimizations on your part.
Cheers,
