Looking at it, I don't think this is the problem. If i look at it right now it shows yesterdays readings (apr 17th) and they are all there, no -1's on the "Planetary(estimated Ap)" line. They use utc time, same as gmt. For 0-3am it has a reading of 3, changing up and down for rest of the day. There are some -1's on the other lines but planetary has all the readings.
Its nearly 1am gmt right now and its gone again. The whole chart for today so far has -1's but I wouldn't expect that to change until 3am when the first 3hour update comes in.
It seems like it's the LAST update of the day that has a problem ie 21-24 which should update at 24 (midnight), that update never registers on your app and I get the exclamation mark even though it shows correctly on the AK.txt page. It works again at the following update 00-03 which happens at 3am.
The reading in your app that I should be getting right now (1am gmt, 18th) should be the last update of the 17th (21-24) which the AK.text page shows as being 1.
So maybe your first thought about the change of day has something to do with it after all.
Good luck with getting to the bottom of it
Attached is what I see right now on AK.txt page.
Sorry if I have made it sound confusing but basically I think the AK.txt page updates correctly and when it should. Its just your app doesn't pickup the last reading of the day 21-24 which gets updated on the AK.txt page at 24 (midnight). It updates in arrears if you like, 11-24 updating at 24, 00-03 updating at 3am etc.
I think the apps first update of the day (midnight) needs to refer to the previous days 21-24 and not look at the present days info if you get me.
