I note that there have been very few SS7 Pro updates of late. Are they working on SS8 or just tied up with Celestron?

I'd rather they build in a SS6-compatible user interface mode. The way it was revised for SS7 made it virtually unusable, changing so many things that didn't need changing because they were already working perfectly. I have both but almost always fall back to SS6 since it's more readable and usable. I use an iPad Pro--maybe they did the changes for phone screens, but it really did a number on the iPad. Ideally they should just revert the UI back to SS6. I haven't followed any changes they've done with SS7 since--how can you improve on perfection? they clearly didn't.
