Reviews of Orbit

  • Way Too Limited

    Can’t find ways to add more satellites/TLAs, and the fixed satellite list has almost no amateur data. Not customizable at all.

  • Wish for User Filter

    Nice app. Really. My wish is for a filter to allow selecting a subset of a satellite constellation based on orbital altitude and other attributes. Why? Most of the satellite ‘families’ have parked spares or dead satellites in higher or lower orbits. When looking for useable satellites, it would be helpful to eliminate those from my consideration. So if I know that my satellite family of interest is at 800km (+/- 2 km) altitude I could ignore those that that are parked at 700 or 815 km. Thanks for making a nice easy to use satellite orbital app.

  • Great satellite app on devices which support it

    Thanks to the author for updating the app to Verizon 1.3. The new version works well on iPhone SE2, X and 2019 9.7 inch iPad. This app is a great teaching tool for demonstrating the types of satellite orbits and spotting satellites. By tapping on a satellite you can see the orbit, ground track, radio footprint and sub-satellite point. Just about everything you’d want to know is easily visualized or available in a table. Nice work!
