  • Great App - precise, great interface

    The first day after I bought this app, I could see the ISS right where and when the app had calculated. It was beautiful, following it with binoculars, to see it turn red and then fade away as it entered the earth shadow.

    A few days later, I could see 2 iridium satellite 'flares': close to each other, they appeared and then quickly faded away near the moon. The app calculated very precisely where and when they would be visible.

    Though there are several satellites visible every evening and morning, they appear very briefly and can be faint. You may see one if you are lucky, but this app will help you see them all and will even warn you of their upcoming passage.

    It would be great if the app showed actual stars and constellations in sky view, to help spot faint satellites better, or aim a camera. In the next upgrade?

    Really like this app. Fabulous 3D world display of satellites. Great sky view to help locate passing satellites. Lists passages and alarms when individual passes begin. Ability to roll time forwards and back to see past and future passes. Can't think of much more you could want if you like watching passing satellites!

  • My favorite satellite app!!

    This app by far is my most used satellite locator app that I have! I have other popular apps like this and it is true that each have different features that make each one unique but this one is easy to use and most all my information I want is right there but one update that for me would make this app the only satellite locator app I need is to have a way to see information about the object I'm looking at like what it is used for and launch date and all that. The recent irridium flare update is just awesome!!! The satellite brightens just when it says it does! This company has another app that I love and both are on my home screen on my iphone because I use them all the time! Thanks for giving us this tool that has given us so much enjoyment!!

  • Great Tracker

    If you want to know where a sat is you can't go wrong with this app. Easy to use, plenty of options without being bloated and extremely nice looking.

    As an amateur radio operator it is missing one MAJOR thing. Up and downlink frequencies for the amateur radio satellites. Would be much more convenient and useful for radio communication use with those added. Even if there were an option to add your own frequency or note to a sat would be helpful. Can't give it a 5 due to that omission.

  • Great app, missing AR

    Great app, I absolutely love the ability to setup notifications based on a minimum magnitude and azimuth, that way I don't get alerted for potential sightings I'm uninterested in. It would be quite helpful, however, if I could see the predicted path of the satellite or ISS in an augmented reality view using the camera. That way I could visualize exactly where it will appear, helping me to easily find a good spot amongst all the trees and buildings nearby. Another great addition would be to include the star charts from Heavens Above.

  • Amazingly Accurate

    I tried numerous other satellite locators that were 'good'. This app beats them hands down. Like comparing a Ford Pinto to a new Ferrari. The accuracy is remarkable. This, and the developer's GoSkyWatch are my two favorite apps. Note to the developer, I would pay the big bucks if you could hook up voice commands through a Bluetooth . That is on my wish list, but so is world peace . You did a great job on both these apps

  • Amazing

    I could ask for higher res maps when you zoom in, but honestly it's not necessary when this app is so good at showing what's in the sky. Worth every penny.
  • Ideal Sat Tracking App

    This app is awesome and worth every penny! It does everything I need in a tracking program, from tracking amsats to visible objects. The interfaces are exceptionally good. I really like the 3D globe feature and it handles beautifully.
    One is able to center on their location by tapping twice on the screen. One can also magnify the view easily.

  • Congratulations to the developers

    This app is amazing. Easy to use, accurate and most of all, fun. A must for anyone who is even slightly interested in what is circling the planet. I love it.
    Congratulations to the developers.
  • Excellent satellite tracking

    One thing that would make this a five star rating for me is if there was info on the satellites to help me know a little more about that bright light going across the sky. Don't get me wrong, I love this app. Satellites are right where this app says they will be. I've spotted a couple iridium flares with these predictions and have spotted many other satellites too.
