### 4/5 — Has anyone tried paying the 99p donation?

*2025-09-12, version 2.2.6*

Have tried many times and all that happens is the icon around the payment symbol just rotates

### 4/5 — Please fix!!!

*2024-02-23*

I LOVE this app! So accurate and makes it so easy to find the ISS. But it has stopped working over the last few months. It just hangs and does nothing when you open it. PLEASE FIX!!!  iPhone 13, iOS 17.2.1.

### 4/5 — Becoming undependable

*2023-09-19*

This used to be great for locating the ISS with the ability see exactly where in the sky it is, but lately I go in and the app won't load or work AT ALL. PLEASE FIX IT!!!! Thanks!

### 4/5 — Love the app

*2022-11-04, version 2.2.4*

But it’s keeps not working only recently , is it still supported ?

### 4/5 — Good app for tracking

*2020-01-30, version 2.2.3*

This app is great. Works well and is accurate however, it would be even better if it had a magnitude (brightness) indicator so you can find the best and brightest time to view the space station

### 5/5 — Best ISS spotter app!

*2019-09-29*

This is my Go-To app for watching the ISS orbit overhead. I love the ability to “share” viewing opportunities to my friends on FB and Twitter.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-09-06, version 2.2.2*

The best for knowing when to look up snd very accurate from my experience.

### 4/5 — App will not reset to my location

*2019-07-27*

How do I reset app to my current location?

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2018-08-27, version 2.2.2*

Amazing app and spot on with its information

### 5/5 — Accurate and Easy to use

*2018-04-20, version 2.2.2*

Wonderful, accurate and easy app to use. I always use it as my go to app to spot the station as this app makes my ISS spotting so easy and also reliable.

### 5/5 — Notification issues

*2016-12-17*

When the app is opened and the push notification is tapped to set up, it says "push notifications failed to load. Check network connections" 

I've tried doing this over cell data and wifi.  And yes, my location is on and the app has permissions to use it.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2016-06-12*

I would give this app 5 stars, I would. But I have a funny suggestion for the developer... - When the notification of a fly by alerts the user it makes a jet noise or fly-by noise. The space station is in space.. So it would not be making that noise! Hahah other than that, awesome app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback. iTunes has only recently allowed developer responses so I can finally reply to your comment and attempt to claim that extra star! I agree the jet noise doesn't make sense but I struggled to come up with alternatives I was happy with when implementing the notification noise. I'll revisit this decision and I'm certainly open to suggestions. Please get in touch at satseeker@dolbz.com if you have any further feedback about this or any other issues. Thank you!

I love this app but suddenly it won’t load and crashes each time…very annoying … shame

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2017-10-23, version 1.6.10*

Get the same from websites for free

### 1/5 — Review

*2016-12-25, version 1.6.10*

I paid for this!? Don't fall into the same trap.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2016-07-06, version 1.6.6*

Near useless

### 1/5 — Rip off. Want money back

*2016-05-30, version 1.6.6*

Absurd. This should be illegal. The app doesn't deliver any of the promised features. I want to be reimbursed.

### 1/5 — Where are the satellites?

*2016-04-06, version 1.6.6*

I thought this was supposed to show satellites and the ISS tracks but only shows the ISS. Don't bother with it save your money!

### 1/5 — What has happened?

*2016-03-31, version 1.6.6*

This used to be a good app, used to be. I have been using it for over 12 months then all of a sudden the live camera started to show the track upside down. Now the live track has gone altogether, option removed and when it comes to notification of a pass it annoyingly notifies me between 5 and 7 times. Turn it in or improve it to its former glory.

### 1/5 — Regret paying for this app

*2016-02-15, version 1.6.6*

Have always been interested in the space station so when I saw this app I was quite excited as it had been mentioned on "this Morning" With this app I saw that it had all the future planned passes & chance of viewing it. It also had  "watch it live" going over. 
But........ When I opened the app the only screen you get is a map with the position of the space station on it  The only 2 tabs you have is the refresh button & another for notification alerts. When I  opened "notifications" up luckily I saw "help" I opened it & all I saw was info on not seeing the station if you are too far north etc. Nothing at all for help with the app. 
So all I have now is an expensive map, I could have download many free ones which actually does more than this one. I've since deleted this app & downloaded it again thinking it may correct itself but nothing.

### 1/5 — Sat

*2016-02-06, version 1.6.6*

Had to cancel, could not turn off when not in use.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2015-12-17, version 1.6.4*

Only part of the app downloaded rubbish

### 5/5 — I miss this app

*2024-12-20*

When this app is working, it is the best app available hands-down. Is anybody else having problems besides myself? Please fix this wonderful App!

### 5/5 — Amateur astronomer

*2024-09-25*

This is my first time using this app. It is real easy to use. I do a lot of astronomy outreach and this will help me show people how to find the ISS ! I will recommend it to my friends and family and the places I do outreach. Thank you !

### 5/5 — Stopped working

*2023-12-10*

This is by far my favorite app for tracking space station. Nothing comes close to this app. However, it hasn’t been working lately. Not sure what to do but would love to get it back working again! Please fix!

### 5/5 — Sat Seeker

*2023-05-28, version 2.2.4*

It’s great to watch!

### 5/5 — Great but could improve

*2022-05-23, version 2.2.4*

I have used this app a lot and it's great but adding an option for notifications a certain point above the horizon would make it awesome. I can't see the passes under about 10 degrees and am constantly disappointed when I think there is a visible pass but it's not visible for me.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-01-29*

I love this app! It’s extraordinary watching the shuttle pass by overhead. I can’t help but wonder what’s happening up there 😮

### 5/5 — After all these years still the best application

*2021-03-15*

I got this application when it first came out around 8 or 9 years ago   

It still works like a dream and you can’t beat it for tracking the ISS.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-10-09, version 2.2.4*

We love listening for the swish noise that comes across the phone as the satellite is about to approach. Then we get ready to what it shoot across the sky

### 5/5 — Skyneck

*2020-07-18*

Love this app and it keeps my chin up 😉

### 5/5 — Never fails

*2019-12-01*

I have been using this application for a few years.  It has never failed to provide the exact information.
