Thank you to the Dev. Really happy with the app now that theirs a work around. Does exactly what it says it does. Side note:M50 Markii was perhaps the wrong choice for this hobby.1stReview: Disappointed, I just bought this app trying to use my M50 mark ii for astrophotography. The app stops doing as soon as my phone locks (Smsng S9 Android 10) its REALLY impractical to use for long exposure shots. Especially if you're shooting sessions need to last 2+hrs. Great shutter button I guess.

I was able to reproduce the issue and it appears to be caused by how Samsung implements their battery management, which is non-compliant with the way Google implements wake locks in Android. You can read more here: https://dontkillmyapp.com/samsung
From my tests the only way to prevent this issue is by having the phone connected to a battery pack.

Took a chance on this app pairing a Note20 and Canon M6 to use for astrophotography. Pairing the camera is difficult at best and once it says connected the camera never takes any photos no matter what mode you put it in. I was using manual but tested others as well. Not sure how others have had success but I can't get this to work as intended at all. Also it lacks basic functions like removing the camera, it only allows add new. Ultimately, after a few hours off messing around, I'm removing it.

Hallefnlujah! Initial testing confirms this app works with the M50. I've owned the move shoot move and this m50 for almost 3 years now and haven't been able to use it, because it won't use a normal intervalometer. Now, I read you loud and clear, an m50 isn't the first choice for any astrophotography landscaping, but I was on a budget. Developer; thank you very much! Will update to 5 stars when I get some clear skies.

Hi Charles, thanks for your feedback and hope the app works well for you (once you get some clear skies)
