No update of satellite details for past year. Cannot contact support.
Not working at all anymore
Response from developer
With the advent of large satellites constellations the load on some servers referenced by the app have been restricted to update only when new orbital data is available. Orbital tracking will still function even if no updates are reported. To prevent the message, go to the app Settings > Preferences and turn off Auto Update and manually update as needed. Generally data only needs to be updated every few days. Also some satellite groups need URLs updated. See our support web site for more details. Please contact support if you are still experiencing issues.
no search?
Response from developer
A search function is available within a satellite group. From the satellites tab, tap the info button next to a satellite group. At the top of the screen you can search and filter on satellites of interest you wish to track.

Excelente
Does Not Sync With Other Devices Using the App
Best Tracking App
Where are you ?
Please fix
Waited for it to pass this app claimed it was right over head but 2 other apps claimed it wasn’t visible for another 6 hours.
I used to be able to view it accurately. This has a better interface and set up than the other apps but I’m forced to use those now. Not happy after paying full whack for it
Response from developer
The app may be having trouble downloading the orbital data updates for some reason. Check the satellite group details for when the orbital data was updated last and for any network connection problem messages which can provide an indication of what the problem is. Please contact support directly so we can help investigate the issue further.
No updates in 4 years
Would love a keep using the app if it gets an update
Bad
No Keps update -> Server unavailble
Server not available.
Used this great app a couple of years ago on iPhone 6 with great success, now on 15 Pro Max, disappointing due mentioned issue.
What‘s wrong?

Excellent!
The negative reviews here and the above average price were a little frightening at first, but please go ahead and try the free ISS tracking version of the app first and read the documentation on the developer’s website.
The app is highly configurable (to show not only the next pass but up to 9 per sat, the visibility filter can be switched off - I don’t need eye contact for ham radio purposes :) ) and most importantly new TLEs can be added easily (thus the review stating the number of sats was limited is wrong!).
Worth the price - thank you!
Va perfecta
Y muchas posibilidades de visionado de los pases
If I could change one thing…
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for the feedback. By default the app adds newly detected satellites to the selected list. This can be turned off from Settings > Orbital Elements > Amateur Radio > Select newly detected satellites to Off. The app also by default attempts to download the latest orbital data each time the app is opened which forces the recalculation of passes with the updated orbital data. This can be turned off in the app Settings > Preferences > Auto Update to off. This will prevent the re-calculation of passes but you will then have to remember to manually update the orbital data from the Satellites screen from time to time. Once a day in most cases is more than sufficient. Passes will still be re-calculated if you change any selection that would impact the pass calculations.
