Leave a Review GoSatWatch Satellite Tracking
FAQ is on the website
Reviewer, Rafal Sol, it is clear you didn't read the FAQ on the developer's website about the shuttle orbit predictions. This app is very accurate in real time. I watched the ISS pass last night and when I saw it begin to dim, I looked at my phone and this app showed the magnitude diminish rapidly. I looked back up at the ISS and it was gone, then looked back at my phone and this app displayed "--" for the magnitude. That is about as accurate as you can get, man.Show lesswreyfmonkey
AWESOME
After wasting my money on a couple of other Sat/ISS apps I am so glad I found this... and finding it on App store was the difficult bit! (maybe not the best name to use?!) I just LOVE this app. The graphics and usability are slick and professional, and unlike other Sat/ISS apps I have used you are not limited and can custom your sky view to have as many or as few Sats/objects as you like. I especially like the time control to wind the Sky and Map views through the future - really smooth responsive and informative, and it is really easy to calcullate future passes to your criteria (Visibility/Min Elevation/Magnitude). I have so enjoyed this app that I bought the GoSkyWatch Planetaruim which is equally impressive.Show less0BPM
Very Impressive
I am not disappointed after purchasing this $10 app as it is very easy to use. I saw the ISS the very first night right where it predicted. IMO the money was well spent. It even motivated me to purchase a nice set of binoculars so I can now go satellite hunting. I have to say that the only disappointment is when the night sky is cloudy! Kudos to the developer.Show lessbarkscad
Good app
But could be better, more info on what the sats are eg. Country of origin, what type of satellite (militery, communication etc, Russian space craft come under as tools could be sorted wi an update, still worth the money tho.Wayneiak
Great for Tracking Multiple Satellites
I have downloaded several other apps for satellite tracking but they only tracked one or two satellites at a time. I was very pleased to find that GoSatWatch allows you to simultaneously track as many satellites as you want. With GoSatWatch I can track the whole GPS constellation on the world MAP or I can check my local coverage with the SKY map. This app needs to be moved higher on your apps chart. It is by far the best satellite tracking program in your collection.Show lessHiker1950
For hams
Very handy for ham use. Uses GPS to select your exact location then provides a list of pass times for any/all ham sats you choose, a scrollable world map with sat tracks that you can 'move through time' using an interesting clock-style user interface, and more. Also shows a footprint of each selected satellite based on your choice of acquisition angle. Updating Keps is trivially easy. Note: The original version only showed night time 'visible' passes. That can now be changed in preferences so as to see all passes: Settings > Preferences > Visible Passes Only [OFF] A well thought out and well presented product.Show lessShelby Wrightmate
Sky's the Limit
A simply outstanding app considering a mobile platform; I would say there are probably only 5 other science and technology apps of its class in the App Store. It performs as advertised, has reasonably sophisticated graphics and sky's-the-limit as to what you can track with it. Add to that intuitive operation, an informative User's manual (what a concept!) and a developer who is as responsive as if the app cost $1000 instead of $10, and you have a winner.

Amateur Sats as well
I have tried other prediction apps for tracking the many ham radio satellites up there, but wish I had spent a bit more and downloaded this first. Excellant app good graphics and good having ISS and Shuttle predictions aswell.CQ CQ CQ
Love it
This has been great. I've used it to track the usual visual says out there and it is very accurate. Would love to see it get the ability to store or pull up additional information on ham sats like frequencies. Calculating the Doppler shift of signals sent from sats would also be great. More ideas: overlay the sat path on a simple constellation map for easy locating. Calculating Iridium flares. Choose to lock orientation in portrait or landscape. Night vision mode in all reds.
Bottom line: awesome app.Show less4.ys
Excellent and responsive! A+
This app is a joy to use and I found the author behind it incredibly responsive and helpful. I use it for amateur radio pass time prediction and it is wonderful for that! Easy to keep updated unlike my old pocketsat+ program on Palm. I don't usually write app reviews, but this one is worth my time! Hoping for Iridium Flare prediction and more ham radio support in the future!Show lessRichfuel
