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.

This application allows you to track the real-time location of satellites in orbit around the Earth. It also predicts when these satellites will be visible from your specific location and helps you identify satellites you see in the night sky.

How can I predict when a satellite will be visible?

The app uses your current location to calculate and predict upcoming satellite passes. You can see a list of predicted passes, including their timing and trajectory, to help you plan your observations.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, the application is completely free to use. There are no costs associated with downloading or using its core features for tracking and identifying satellites.
