  • Perfect!

    I searched for a satellite tracker in the App Store without even knowing one exitsted for the iPhone/iPod Touch. I expected very basic features if I were to actually find one. This application blew me away, it does most things that my PC based tracker can do and is very easy to use. Very happy with my purchase, definately worth 5 stars!

  • Good program

    A useful tool to have in your pocket. 24 hour predications and complete predications for all selected satellites is needed to make this a great program. Looking forward to V1.2.
  • Excellent!

    This software is just amazing! I am an Amateur Radio operator and love to use this to track HAM sats. Very well designed, easy to use, and quite full featured! It's great for HAMs tracking AO-51 with their HTs and portable sat antenna. No need to lug around a laptop anymore. Also the latest update (Jan 14, 2009) tracks 24/7. The developers really listen to their customers! Excellent work!

  • Excellent program, a must have for amateur radio hobbist

    This is an excellent program and one of the main reasons I bought an iTouch. Graphics are really nice on the iTouch and the program performs its functions fast and accurately. Author is very responsive to questions and open for suggestions. If you are a amateur radio hobbist who does satellite work or just someone who is interested in watching satellites as the pass overhead this is the program for you. I have used a lot of programs over the years for the PC, Palm and other devices and this program is up there with the best of them. Don't hesitate if you need this function get this program. Author is planing on many other options such as 24 hour mode in the very near future but don't wait, get the program now and learn how to use it. If you have suggestions, please contact him.

  • Needs 24hr predictions

    Good app. Had a great view of the space station as it went overhead a couple of nights ago. Had hoped to be able to use it in association with amateur radio satellites, but it only gives predictions during hours of darkness. Would be a great app if it could provide predictions 24 hrs a day.
  • Very nice, but need daylight pass option

    Very nice app, and the last one I needed to complete my move from Palm T|X, except: There needs to be an option to find passes at all times (24hr). This is necessary for Amateur Radio Sats (HAM) (and also for those who like to find ISS via telescope in daylight). So far as I can tell, only the Satellite Radio (Sirius, XM) sats show up during daylight. Also, a couple of thought for the "it would be nice if..." category: 1 - Ability to animate tracking between two times. I know it can be done manually through the clever "clock face", but it's nice to have it run itself, at perhaps 1x, 2x, and faster. 2 - Ability to zoom in on map. The portrait mode is closer, which is nice, but I'd like a 2x option. 3 - Next pass prediction for a particular sat. Again, unless I missed, it'd be nice to have it jump ahead in time to the next pass (visible or all). Otherwise, this is a VERY nice implementation of a sat tracker and VERY much appreciate one finally being offered in the store! Except for the daylight pass complaint, I would easily rate it 5 star.

  • At last ...

    If you don't want to mess with inputing coordinates, or logging in to websites to find visible pass predictions while on the go, this is the app for you. It isn't as simple and sweet as the LookUp webapp, but it is more powerful. Pros: 1. You can utilize built in GPS for exact coordinates of your location. 2. Easily setup groups of satellites and choose which group or which satellites are displayed. Cons: 1. Only mercator map projection. 2. Only does visible pass predictions
