I would like to rate the app with as many stars as it deserves. ### 4/5 — Pass finder *2021-07-21, version 1.2* Still waiting for it to update to my iOS system. I love this app. I rate it highly but getting frustrating now. ### 2/5 — Used to be good … *2021-06-10, version 1.2* Was a decent app. Recent update is broken; can’t do the update. 😕 ### 2/5 — Needs work. A lot of work. *2020-06-01, version 1.2* Ok, so I got the alert on my iPhone 6S. So I open the app and it’s suddenly a past event that when I click on for further info gives me nothing. A dead link. I need the inclination, compass heading etc., I get nothing. Unless I’ve had the app open already at the alert time, it’s useless. Any app is better. ### 4/5 — So cool! Thanks! *2019-10-14, version 1.2* This is so much fun - especially cool to be able to see the ISS when visiting other states or countries! (Just put on the local zip code.). The only bummer is that I get visual but not sound notifications for reminders so I’ve missed some good ones. Obviously could set a separate alarm but it would be more convenient if sound worked. ### 4/5 — Since this app is used in the dark... *2019-08-27, version 1.2* Send this app is used in the dark to look for the ISS could you make the screen the red so that it doesn’t ruin the users night vision? Thank you. ### 2/5 — Was good... *2019-08-06, version 1.2* It was a good app. Actually got to watch the ISS float by. The alarms didn’t work, the app never refreshed, now it looks like at the end of the week nothing. Going to find another app. ### 1/5 — Crap *2019-05-06, version 1.2* No Funktion ### 1/5 — ?? *2019-05-04, version 1.2* Wird im App Store als „Profi-Tipp“ beworben (4.5.2019)..!? Funktioniert aber nicht richtig! Tag und Zeit fehlen😳. Ich nehme lieber den ISS Spotter ### 1/5 — Funktioniert in D nicht *2019-05-04, version 1.2* Findet den Standort nicht und die Eingabe eines Ortes oder einer PLZ in D bringt auch kein Ergebnis. Wird wieder gelöscht... ### 1/5 — Schade *2019-05-04, version 1.2* Die App funktioniert leider nicht. ### 1/5 — Katastrophe *2019-05-04, version 1.2* Unübersichtlich, veraltet, stürzt nur ab. Unbrauchbar. ### 3/5 — Grade: Pass *2019-05-04, version 1.2* Useful little tool for ISS enthusiasts or anyone wanting to take a more systematic approach to ISS spotting and for this more convenient than consulting one of the numerous websites that exist presenting essentially the same/ similar info (reminder function!). Works with iOS 11 w/o issues. However, one inconvenient flaw/missing info: what timezone do the displayed times refer to? Local, UTC, EST, something else? One may just assume one and try to spot the ISS at that time to confirm/disconfirm, but it ought to be able to know beforehand. ### 1/5 — Traurig - funktioniert nicht *2019-05-04, version 1.2* Es ist leider ein Witz, dass diese App von Apple (!) in einer Story angeblich von einem Astronauten empfohlen wird! Warum? Sie funktioniert nämlich nicht. Ich kannte die App nicht, aber es hörte sich interessant an die ISS bei ihren Erdumrundungen zu sehen. Nur leider geht das Datum und die Uhrzeit der Sichtung nicht angezeigt. Da ich die App erst jetzt geladen habe, muss ich mich wohl auf die anderen Bewertungen verlassen, dass die App wohl schon seit iOS 11 nicht mehr geht. Ein Blick in den Versionsverlauf (vor 5 Jahren aktualisiert) sagt wohl alles aus, das kann unkommentiert bleiben. @Apple: Bitte löscht doch solche seit Jahren nicht funktionierenden Apps einfach und empfehlt sie nicht auch noch in euren Storys. Das ist ja peinlich für den Autor, wenn er die Apps, welche er empfiehlt, nicht mal getestet hat.... ### 1/5 — oooo - obviously out of order *2019-05-04, version 1.2* @Apple: warum bringt ihr in euren aktuellen App-Empfehlungen im App Store Apps, die gar nicht mehr funktionieren? Bei dieser hier scheint es daran zu liegen, dass sie schon lange nicht mehr auf die aktuelle iOS Version updated wurde. Im Magnitude Feld steht das Datum, einige andere Felder sind gar nicht mehr belegt, Alarm setzen funktioniert nicht. Probiert ihr die Apps nicht einmal vorher aus? Solche Oberflächlichkeiten könnt ihr doch getrost Microsoft und Co. überlassen. ### 2/5 — Wohl leider zu alt (Stand 2014?!) *2018-07-14, version 1.2* Hat jahrelang einwandfrei funktioniert. Aber mit iOS 11 funktioniert es wohl gar nicht mehr. Eine Ortung des Aufenthaltsortes geht nicht mehr, und auch die Alternative Eingabe der PLZ kommt zu keinem sauberen Ergebnis, zumal man nicht sehen kann für welches Land die eingegebene PLZ bzw. Zip-Code überhaupt gilt. Dann werden einem zwar Einträge angezeigt, dass die ISS zu sehen sein müsste, allerdings fehlen die Sichtungszeiten dazu. Sehr schade. Müsste wohl „nur“ an iOS 11 angepasst werden, dann würde es sicher wieder einwandfrei funktionieren. ### 1/5 — Apple should remove abandoned apps from the store *2017-04-21, version 1.2* The developer was saying in 2014 that he's coming out with an update to fix issues. Uh it's 2017. Any day now? Apple should somehow demote or remove apps that have been abandoned by the developer. It's hard enough to sort through all the good apps to have broken ones cluttering the list ### 4/5 — New iphone 6 plus..stopped working *2015-04-27, version 1.2* I bought a new iPhone 6 plus. I had one notification, now nothing is working. I open the app, and nothing. I deleted and re-downloaded the app three times and it is still not working. It worked great earlier. Is there an update soon? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update your app! *2023-07-15, version 1.2* Is the developer going to update this? If not - remove it from the store. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2021-06-18, version 1.2* When are you developers going to update this app l use it quite often to see when the ISS is due please get it sorted ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-06-05, version 1.2* Get constant messages saying it needs to be updated—even immediately after updating it. Annoying and useless. ### 1/5 — Pass Finder *2021-05-13, version 1.2* This app has stopped working ….. reports update needed but it will not update Unload and reload fails too ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2021-04-08, version 1.2* This app used to work fine but has now conked out. I guess there is no more support for newer phones? ### 1/5 — This is a featured app? *2019-10-30, version 1.2* Saw this in the featured app section of the App Store. It seemed kinda cool so I installed on my iPhone X running iOS 13.1.3. So I open the app and all I get is the merry-go-round icon and nothing else. So I check info on the App Store and find this app is 6 years old with the only update 5 years old. Don’t you ever test these apps before recommending them???!!! It’s gone, bye-bye! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 😧 *2019-08-12, version 1.2* Doesn’t work at all. It used to worked but stopped working a few days ago. Help doesn’t work. Server appears to be down or gone. ### 1/5 — Not working. *2019-08-08, version 1.2* Not working. ### 1/5 — Under developed *2019-07-20, version 1.2* I cannot believe Apple featured this app. It has issues with location and has not been updated in over five years. ISS Spotter and ISS Detector are much better. ### 1/5 — App only shows the dates of april *2019-07-20, version 1.2* This app tells me where the iss will be seen in last April,but it's currently July now ,and there's no time and location for the current month.Idk what's wrong,I downloaded the app with a very exciting mind but all I can do now is just wait for an update from the developer ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — great app but cant use since iOS 14.7.1 *2021-09-10, version 1.2* Are there plans to update this app? My phone won’t let me open it anymore and says the developer needs to provide an update to work on this iOS version. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Finally saw the ISS *2019-07-21, version 1.2* I got this app based on the spotlight on the moon landing and so glad I did. I used it with the app Sky View. This app told me EXACTLY what time the International Space Station (ISS) would pass over my location ( it was going to take about 10 minutes before it left my area). Using the SkyView I looked in the sky and tada! I spotted it! I would have thought it was a star except it was moving fast. Thank you developers for this app. ### 5/5 — Must download for any space enthusiast! *2014-08-13, version 1.2* Great App! Very simple to use and changes with my location! Thanks a bunch! ### 5/5 — Working on updates *2014-07-14, version 1.2* Hi all! Developer here and just wanted to let you know that I am working on some updates and will get a new version out soon which will include a notification that there are no upcoming passes instead of just a blank view as it is now. For those that have mentioned that the app is broken, I am working on this now as well. It seems to only be affecting a small amount of you but in the mean time you may be able to fix the bug by checking your settings and making sure Pass Finder is listed and approved for accepting local notifications. Cheers everyone! ### 5/5 — Broken *2014-07-02, version 1.2* Worked like a champ. Down to the minute. Kids were amazed. But it no worky now. :-/ ### 5/5 — Awesome app, saw the ISS for the first time. *2014-06-27, version 1.2* The app allowed me to see the international space station for the first time in my life. It was amazing. I just wish the app would tell you something like, "the station will not pass by your location for X period." Instead of just not showing any passes. ### 5/5 — Best of its kind *2014-06-27, version 1.2* Amazing app. It's currently broken, but I hope that will be fixed soon. ### 5/5 — Beautiful app with a cool purpose! *2013-11-17, version 1* This app is easy and fun to use, not to mention the value it has when I'm trying to impress people who know a lot about international space and stations. ### 5/5 — A must have for Star Gazers and NASA geeks *2013-10-16, version 1* The title says it all, this app is a must have for Star Gazers and NASA geeks. Would love to see some sort of compass + sky chart or even augmented reality camera addition in the future for finding the ISS in the night sky ### 5/5 — User *2013-10-16, version 1* Great. Easy to read info, has been accurate with times and directions. Recommend! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
