Hello. About 3 weeks ago, I noticed that the Object Databases are no longer able to connect to the Internet to update. Similar apps when connection is present still updates. An uninstall and re-install of versions 2.62 and 2.64 yield the same result. Error message reads "Download of (e.g. Object Descriptions) failed. Not internet connection available. Please try again" Same error message is also shown for Minor Planet and Extended Star Catalog. Any hints or reasons why? I have taken no O/S updates (Running Android 5.0.1). Thank you in advance for the replies.

As a follow-up to this post, I received an email reply from the author of this fine software, Wolfgang, informing me that he was looking into the reported issue and would advise when a solution was found. Ahead of his reply, I tried the same steps again - and - wonderfully discovered that the issue has been corrected. A reply of thanks was sent back to him. Thank you again Wolfgang for your ongoing support of this great software!
