Works awesome!

Thanks so much for this app. It really makes aiming a yagi antenna at the various satellites going over much much easier. Great job!!

Works great... when you're online.

I've used Aimy for all my successful satellite contacts. Really gives a feeling of confidence for the beginner. Would be great if the app would "remember" the last loaded sat data until the next time it comes online. I do Summits on the Air and sometimes have no signal on the peak, so Aimy can't guide me. When I check at the trailhead I've got cell coverage and sats but when I get to the top of the mountain the data can't refresh and blanks the list.

It would be GREAT if

You could list the uplink and downlink frequencies used on each satellite👍🏻

Works great!

This is a must have app for handheld satellite tracking. Super easy to use and works great. I made my first satellite QSO on the first pass with this app. I bought a cheap phone cradle like the one in the picture and mounted it on an Arrow II yagi antenna. Slide in the phone and point the antenna... easy. The developer, Mark, is very responsive and very helpful too.

FYI - to mount the phone cradle like the picture shows, drill a 1/4 inch hole in the antenna and mount using a 1 inch 1/4-20 bolt and flat washer. Also be sure to change the iPhone compass setting to true north.

Nice and simple

Works as advertised. Looks great and easy to use without tons of bloat.

Had a issue with the heading not working. Dev was quick to help. (If you have this issue make sure compass calibration is turned on)

Response from developer

Please email support@aimy.at and I’ll try and help you out. Thanks !
