Reviews of Orbitrack

Leave a Review Orbitrack
  • Solid app Needs a sort by magnitude feature

    No updates for several years so not sure if this app is still being actively developed. If it is, it needs a sort by magnitude feature to be really useful.
  • Out of date, incorrect locations

    I apparently missed how old this app was and the last update. It’s fascinating to see all the satellites but they are definitely not in the right place. Seeing something overhead I pull up this app and can’t find it at all. Then my star gazing app alerts that the ISS is passing overhead. That was indeed it, but despite verifying my correct location on this app it shows the ISS on the other side of the world. No wonder I’ve not been able to figure out what I’m looking at. Time to find another satellite tracking app.

  • Fantastic

    This had been a very useful tool for checking satellite positions while I’m on the go. Being able to set alarms is very useful. However it would be nice to be able to favorite satellites.
