Lacking amateur radio satellites

Nice looking app. Easy to use. Unfortunately it doesn’t serve my needs for the lack of amateur radio sat. Info….

Way Too Limited

Can’t find ways to add more satellites/TLAs, and the fixed satellite list has almost no amateur data. Not customizable at all.

Wish for User Filter

Nice app. Really. My wish is for a filter to allow selecting a subset of a satellite constellation based on orbital altitude and other attributes. Why? Most of the satellite ‘families’ have parked spares or dead satellites in higher or lower orbits. When looking for useable satellites, it would be helpful to eliminate those from my consideration. So if I know that my satellite family of interest is at 800km (+/- 2 km) altitude I could ignore those that that are parked at 700 or 815 km. Thanks for making a nice easy to use satellite orbital app.

Working well on iOS 17.1.2 iPhone 13, Jan 2024

I downloaded version 1.3 on 1/6/2024 and am running on iOS 17.1.2 on iPhone 13. It is working perfectly. It appears the reviews that say it crashes are no longer accurate. I like this app. It’s not bloated like others and includes a planisphere. It is the closest thing to Heavens Above that I’ve found on iOS. Thanks to the developer.

Crash on open has been fixed

Great companion app to an inReach.

Great satellite app on devices which support it

Thanks to the author for updating the app to Verizon 1.3. The new version works well on iPhone SE2, X and 2019 9.7 inch iPad. This app is a great teaching tool for demonstrating the types of satellite orbits and spotting satellites. By tapping on a satellite you can see the orbit, ground track, radio footprint and sub-satellite point. Just about everything you’d want to know is easily visualized or available in a table. Nice work!

12

Still crashes. iPhone 12.

Broken app

The preview offered by App Store has got me really excited to see if it’s as amazing as it appears to be !!
Unfortunately it refuses to open and simply crashes every time I try
What a disappointment

Unable to open

Unable to open

No longer works

App does not open anymore

Was AWESOME, please fix!!!

This was the perfect app for backyard sat watching. The version is dated and won’t open on new devices (like iPhone 12). It was an awesome app, please update and fix!

iPhone 13

Like the previous commenter, I loved the app. However, when I try to open it on my new iPhone 13 it crashes and will not open. Tried to delete the app and reinstall but no joy. Hopefully the wizards will figure out a fix. In the past I would have given the app 5 stars, as it does not open I am hard pressed to give any stars. Again, hopefully this will get corrected.

Doesn’t work!!!

Just installed this app but it won’t open! 😡

Crashes

Crashes everytime As soon as I open it

Crash on launch

Was great when it worked. Now it just crashes when launched.

Bad

Keeps crashing. Not usable.

Dies not even open on iPhone 13

Avoid putting this on your iPhone 13, only thing you will get is a icon on your screen, nothing else, if you tap on it to open, your screen stays on your home page. If I could I would give 0 stars

App crashes

I also have a IPHONE 12 and the app also crashes every time I open it, sooooo Sad!

Won’t open

The app will not open in iOS 15.5 👎🏻
