Amazing app, just the help I was looking for for star trails & GC photography! Thanks a lot guys.

[@PhotoPills]

Thank you Tushar! Here you have an article about Star Trails: www.photopills.com/articles/definitive-guide-star-trails And here one for the Milky Way :) www.photopills.com/articles/how-shoot-truly-contagious-milky-way-pictures

It will be an amazing update if you guys can add location search. Its a pain scrolling the map, what if you are not familiar with the map and only know the name of the place?

[@gabrielefatigati2485]

Very nice video. Just one question: How can view on the map a specific location far away where I am?

[@PhotoPills]

Tap the (+) map button and then tap the 4th button from the right (arrowhead). It enables your position on the map. A blue circle will appear where you are.

[@gabrielefatigati2485]

@@PhotoPills Hi, thanks but this is not what I intended . For example: I'm in Italy. I would to place pins in australian city, Sidney. Is there a possibility to find a specific location from the map?

[@richardsandor9506]

Thanks for a wonderful app. As an infrequent user, is there a way you can have the name of the button and perhaps a brief description of its function pop up when the button is used?

[@PhotoPills]

Thanks for the feedback. We'll take it into account for future updates

[@CrystalClearNM]

I love your videos but please turn that clavinet music transition down in future tuts...it startles me every time 😊

[@PhotoPills]

Ah! Thanks for the feedback!

[@drivingjack]

It will be great when the Android version catches up. The Lock button would be most useful.

[@PhotoPills]

The Android version is the same as the iOS version, same features. But currently the lock button only appears on tablets on Android, we'll enable the button on all screen sizes in the next update. Thanks!

[@erfut]

What kind of phone you need for this app to work please?

[@PhotoPills]

Any iPhone or any Android phone. For Android check that your device has a compas sensor if you want to use the Augmented Reality views. Manufacturers also call it eCompass, magnetometer or geomagnetic sensor.

[@Dave-fk5bu]

Does the pills app have a function to type in a city or destination?

[@PhotoPills]

Yes! In the Planner tap the Load button and use the top search address bar :)

[@woldsweather]

But how do you go to a poi? Been trying to fathom it out for an hour now!

[@PhotoPills]

Load > Poi :)

[@marvineastman460]

is there a way to just rotate the screen when using the planner?

[@PhotoPills]

In iOS there's no the possibility to rotate the map. With Android you can do it with 2 fingers.

[@Darren-Green]

Am I missing it or can you really not type a search location to the map? Surely a feature a simple as such would have been added into this app by now

[@PhotoPills]

Green Pro Clean Ltd tap Load and use the to search bar

[@Darren-Green]

@@PhotoPills yep. I just couldnt find it. Thanks.

[@ceciliahung3597]

Hi Photopills there is no lock button in my beta version.

[@PhotoPills]

Hi! It's only visible on tablets now. We'll enable it for smaller screens too in the next update. Thanks!

[@vivahabbitvanassen]

Tell me how to remove a point of Interest? from the load box please

[@PhotoPills]

Hi! Go to PhotoPills app > My Stuff Section > Points of Interests. There, tap My Points and, if you'are using iOS just swipe left and tap Delete. If you are using Android long press over the point of interest you'd like to delete and tap the delete button on the top bar

[@vivahabbitvanassen]

Thank you! I was doing it wrong I was opening the map great App bad driver.

[@brendaarcher7213]

I don't have a top panel. How do I fix that?

[@PhotoPills]

Brenda Archer Tap the (+) on the map and then the 5th button in the toolbar that appears. You probably have the map expanded.
