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

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!

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.

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!!
Like. Lots.
Just what I was after! Don't need fancy star charts or anything too clever - StarWalk already has that covered.
This app shows the upcoming ISS passes, their direction, length and brightness.
App claims to be able to add an event to the iPhone calendar as a reminder - but this sadly doesn't work for me. But still a useful app.
My only complaint is that ISS passes tend to clash with the kids' bathtimes. Boo!

Waste of time!
This was the first app I downloaded and luckily didn't gauge the poor performance of this one as indicative of the performance of all the others.
In the 6 months I've had this app not once has it ever showed any data for the ISS like it shows in the pictures above.
Yet in the "current location" view has shown the ISS overhead once or twice. The fact that it's only shown the ISS overhead once or twice is also somewhat dubious.
I have frequently reported bugs but had no reply. oh well…

NOT for iPad
iPhone app. Not very valuable for iPad users.
Awesome
Simple and effective. Love the reminder function
