Love this app

I use it frequently, but please correct the spelling of “magnatude” to magnitude for the ISS. It’s driving me crazy. :-). Could access your email or website.

Working again!!!

Better than other ISS locator apps. Simplicity and elegance.

Please do not waste your money

Please do not waste your money.

BROKEN!! Solid design, could be one if the best with a couple of changes!

No longer working!

Two big issues right off the bat-- it forces you to calibrate the compass on launch--a nuisance as one usually just wants to know what's up! The compass calibration should be required only when the user wants pointing help--NOT on launch!

Next, it requires that Location Services be on! It won't remember your location between sessions. That's ridiculous! Many of us don't want to keep Location Services on all the time -- and most astro apps learn your location and remember it! But not ISS Locator. I've deleted it, sad to say!

Prior Review

Four improvements needed!

1. Bold the time, so that it stands out in the main list of passes.

2. Improve the display of specific passes. You should not have to tap to get the altitude and direction for each part--begin, max, or ends. That should be on one line for each of them. (There's no standard 12-hour time for max or end.)

3. Once it's learned your location, you should NOT need to have location services on! Other ISS apps remember your location and can still update passes.

4. Nor should you have to have wi-fi on to see the passes already downloaded!

Other than that, the app has great potential-- and its payment model--add another satellite Hubble e.g. for 99 cents is a decent one, although it has only 4 and no Iridium ones.

Can't retrieve ISS

Always ''Network Error. Imable to retrieve ISS sighting or current location''
Can't donate or buy it if we can't see if it workes realy.

It is not my network the problem, I would not been able to get tje app

Response from developer

You must refresh when you first run the app. Pull to refresh or tap the refresh button. Once refreshed data is stored locally and no network is required.

Does not work

I know the ISS is passing Hawaii tonight and this dumb app says it's not. This is a total waste of money.

great app

works perfect!!

great app

very useful for looking at the iss with the naked eye

Great!

Brilliant app...really accurate!

Doesn't work at all!!

This app is a complete waste of money. Ever since I purchased it, it has never shown a list of upcoming ISS sightings in my area, when there actually have been , using other apps. FIX IT OR GIVE ME MY $ BACK!!
