I have downloaded the beta on my iPhone 7 plus running iOS 11.4.1 and on my 2018 ipad running ios 12 latest beta. The app opened on both devices, i gave it permissions to access location and microphone. The app then crashed back to home screen on both devices. When i reopened the app, there was a ten second pause and then i heard some Cape Canaveral-like commentary which was almost inaudible and a slightly louder voice naming constellations as i moved my device. Even on full volume, itwas a struggle to hear much. No buttons or tabs were detected by voiceover, so i had no instructions about what to do and i have no idea whati can do via the microphone (as the app asked to use my device microphone for voice commands, i assume tgere must be some). How do i get started? Thanks Harry in UK
