Unfortunately it doesn’t serve my needs for the lack of amateur radio sat. Info…. ### 4/5 — Wish for User Filter *2024-01-20* 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. ### 2/5 — Re help *2022-10-23, version 1.1* It’s not opening up and needs to be fixed as I love to use this again need updating ### 3/5 — Was AWESOME, please fix!!! *2022-08-21* 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! ### 1/5 — Dies not even open on iPhone 13 *2022-05-30* 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 ### 1/5 — App crashes *2022-05-22* I also have a IPHONE 12 and the app also crashes every time I open it, sooooo Sad! ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2022-05-17, version 1.1* The app will not open in iOS 15.5 👎🏻 ### 3/5 — Crashes on opening with newer iPhones *2022-05-16* Sadly it crashes every time I open on my new iPhone 12 mini. Awesome app when it worked ### 1/5 — Crashes upon opening *2022-04-29, version 1.1* I’d like to use this app but it crashes upon opening! ### 3/5 — Redjono67 *2022-04-21, version 1.1* Was a great app, one of the best, now just keeps crashing. Please sort it out, all the othersatiate finding apps are pants compared to this one ### 1/5 — Orbit *2022-03-29, version 1.1* No surprise apple not supported older phones they don’t make money that way from us who were loyal from the start apps started to disappear ### 1/5 — Broke *2022-02-26, version 1.1* It’s just broken. Don’t load up nothing. Open and closes. If I could give 0 stars i would but I can’t so I’m going to have to give you a 1 ### 1/5 — App *2022-02-21, version 1.1* App not working ### 4/5 — Very fun!! *2022-02-15, version 1.1* This app is very fun, but I can’t figure out the crashing issue :( Please help me 😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open *2022-02-11, version 1.1* What more can be said ### 1/5 — Does not run *2022-01-29, version 1.1* Does not run on iPhone SE 2020 with iOS 15.2.1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way Too Limited *2024-05-04* Can’t find ways to add more satellites/TLAs, and the fixed satellite list has almost no amateur data. Not customizable at all. ### 1/5 — 12 *2022-09-24, version 1.1* Still crashes. iPhone 12. ### 1/5 — Broken app *2022-09-16, version 1.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Unable to open *2022-08-25, version 1.1* Unable to open ### 1/5 — No longer works *2022-08-24* App does not open anymore ### 1/5 — iPhone 13 *2022-08-09* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!! *2022-08-08, version 1.1* Just installed this app but it won’t open! 😡 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-07-14* Crashes everytime As soon as I open it ### 1/5 — Crash on launch *2022-06-29* Was great when it worked. Now it just crashes when launched. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-06-04, version 1.1* Keeps crashing. Not usable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Working well on iOS 17.1.2 iPhone 13, Jan 2024 *2024-01-07, version 1.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Crash on open has been fixed *2023-01-09, version 1.3* Great companion app to an inReach. ### 5/5 — Great satellite app on devices which support it *2023-01-02, version 1.3* 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! ### 5/5 — Use it for weather *2022-03-07* I use it for weather satellite tracking to get live weather pictures for bad weather But thare a problem that it don’t work on iPhone 11 It keeps crashing one you open the app ☹️ ### 5/5 — Great *2020-06-24, version 1.1* As soon as I downloaded it I could easily locate the satellites in my area ### 5/5 — Very useful and interesting. *2020-04-29, version 1.1* Lots of satellites, great plotting of their paths and very responsive. This app won’t spoon feed you. If you want more info on a satellite you can just go and look it up on the web. But it give you what you need to know without ads for free. Thanks to the developers. ### 5/5 — To the creator of this app *2020-02-14* This app is so awesome because I saw 7 satellites in a row using this app! ### 5/5 — Iridium Next? *2019-04-27* Great app! Any chance of updating it with the Iridium Next constellation? ### 5/5 — Great job *2018-05-29, version 1.1* Great satellite tracking app for free ### 5/5 — Amazing and it's free ! Wow *2017-01-28, version 1.1* A big thank you to developers for making an amazing app and making it free. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
