Mise à jour décevante

Nouvelle présentation moins facile à utiliser et moins agréable à suivre

New update unuseful

The newer update makes the app unuseful for Hamradio. Just a trash! Unable to find correct altitude when the antena has any angle (left/right), and just change the view when it is close to 90°. Now I paid for a trash app, that was 100% useful before this update.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you don't like the update. There is an option in the Settings called 'Auto Stardome switch'. Turn this off to stop switching to the star dome.

Does what it says.

Exactly. Most user friendly.

Not Working With My iOS 26.2.1

I’ve purchased the Amateur Radio Satellites extension. My app gets completely wiped, no satellites, won’t restore satellites even when I do a “Restore Purchased Extensions”. If I delete the app and re-download from the App Store everything is there again, but the next day the app is wiped clean again. Can’t find a customer support link. Using an Apple iPhone 15 with iOS 26.2.1.

App todo em inglês

O aplicativo é todo em inglês. Não existe opção para português no iPhone. Para Android sim. A que diz respeito à funcionalidade se propõe, é excelente.

The best for amateur radio satellites

This is a great app for anyone wanting to track satellites and the ISS, but it’s especially great for amateur radio. It’s possible to filter the list down to the sats you want to track, and then when a pass is happening you can track it in AR while having the frequency (with Doppler shift calculation!) on a single screen. It’s full featured and very easy to use, plus very affordable with no subscription.

Intuitive

Cool intuitive app ☝️😎

Please re-add feature

Love the app, it’s fantastic in all ways. One caveat, previously when you clicked on a “sighting” and entered the “radar” mode, if you pressed and held, labels for everything currently in the sky would appear. This stopped happening at some point over the last 2 years. Don’t know exactly when but would love for this feature to be re added. It greatly reduced how much I used this application and the ease of information it provided. None the less, 5 stars great app.

Quite literally useless

I have the location set to my city, yet the times listed are just dead wrong. I've given it days to update yet it's still the same. It's about to pass overhead and it says the next sighting is in 16 hours..

Awesome when it works

A good app, very useful when it works, but it inexplicably shows no passes sometimes. Not an internet access issue—seemingly at random it removes all upcoming passes from the main page. Usually this issue resolves itself after a day or two.

Stopped loading sats after last iPhone update

Great app but why does it keep forgetting all my satellites causing me to have to reinstall?

IOS 18.0 issue

I hope there is an update coming, after installing IOS 18.0 the app shuts down if you open the Details window.

Excellente application très claire et détaillée interface conviviale
Merci

Crashes On iOS18

I have enjoyed this app for many years. Unfortunately after updating to iOS 18 yesterday it crashes every time I choose a sighting time. Hopefully it gets an update soon so I can continue to enjoy it.

ISS Detector crashes unexpectedly.

Hey Derk, good morning!

I updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 18 yesterday.
ISS Detector opens just fine to the main screen, and I can access the settings menu and buy packs, but whenever I tap on one of the satellites on the main screen, it opens and then the app immediately crashes.

I've tried restarting my iPhone and even uninstalling and reinstalling ISS Detector, but the same issue keeps happening.
Unfortunately, I can't use the app after updating to iOS 18.

Thanks for your help!
Cheers!

App Crashing

Until I updated to iPadOs18 today the app has been really good. Now the app crashes after about a second 😕

ISS Detector

Défaut de Map lorsque je veux voir ou se trouve; je sélectionne ISS a un moment donné et en cliquant dessus le map s’ouvre et se ferme en 2 secondes… très bonne application que j’utilise régulièrement…..

Privacy settings menu doesn’t work

Quickest way to get a one star review from me is to be shady about privacy.

Now Working

Apologies to the developer, I couldn’t get this to work last week, but then discovered a setting for ISS which allows you to toggle between ‘Visible Passes and All Passes’.
Now I have this selected I can see the ISS Radar page etc, and found it very useful for doing Amateur Radio via the ISS. Plan to purchase the extension now for all the Amateur Radio Satellites. Thank you.
