### 2/5 — Clunky

*2026-07-16, version 1.3.2*

Very minimal success, identifying objects overhead, and the need to select between multiple categories individually is very cumbersome

### 2/5 — Very buggy no Starlink

*2026-07-11, version 1.3.2*

Extremely buggy. Pinched to Zoom doesn’t work. Doesn’t include starling satellites, which is 99% of what you see on a nightly basis. Completely useless.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2026-05-13, version 1.3.2*

I’m looking for international space station and it shows me the wrong location of it

### 4/5 — Question

*2026-02-09, version 1.3.2*

When pointed at the ground there will be constellations. Is this normal?

### 2/5 — Outdated

*2025-09-15, version 1.3.2*

I did a test today.App didn’t managed to identify ANY satellite above my head :/

### 2/5 — Does not have newer satellites

*2025-07-24, version 1.3.2*

App is great except it does not have newer satellites. Specifically, I wanted to locate GOES satellites 16 & 17 but these are not listed in the app. The newest GOES in the app is 15.

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2025-03-14, version 1.3.2*

Besides some craziness with trying to move the globe around, it does what it says it will do. The database of satellites however is missing many of them.

### 4/5 — satellite app

*2025-01-04, version 1.3.2*

this was a very good app slowing you to look at a lot of satellites only complaint was images a low ish quality.

### 4/5 — Absolutely greatest satellite guide on market.

*2024-12-05, version 1.3.2*

Blown away with the accuracy and depth of information  given about every satellite.

### 3/5 — Kind of cool

*2024-12-04, version 1.3.2*

If you are super interested in the satellites then this app is for you. I can get satellite information on my other more preferred apps so this one is kind of redundant to me. Not to mention, there really isn't that much information on this app. It is free, so that's a good thing.

### 4/5 — Great app, but...

*2024-10-11, version 1.3.2*

there really should be an option to select everything. I was trying to see what satellite was crossing over, but having to select every category is tedious and takes a little bit of joy out of using the app. 
Otherwise, this is a great app to have. I'm not disappointed in my purchase at all.

### 2/5 — Ok, does not identify things I see moving in the sky

*2024-06-01, version 1.3.2*

And I can’t select all the satellites, have to look at different categories, like brightest. Just ok…

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2023-09-28, version 1.3.2*

How often do you add satellites? Please add xrism.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2023-06-09, version 1.3.2*

Very pleased with this app.

### 3/5 — No Starlink satelite

*2023-04-11, version 1.3.2*

Cannot see Starlink in the list

### 1/5 — ISS

*2026-06-12, version 1.3.2*

No ISS??

### 1/5 — Bulky to use

*2025-09-26, version 1.3.2*

Would be a perfect app if you could turn on all satellites at one time instead of like 9 different categories individually. The zoom in and out feature also seems to send you way off into nowhere for some reason

### 1/5 — Boo

*2025-07-16, version 1.3.2*

Can’t do anything, want the old one back

### 1/5 — No satellite recognized by the app

*2025-06-23, version 1.3.2*

I get desperate as I see many satellites passing by, however no one is identified by the application. To me the app is out of time

### 1/5 — Not intuitive at all

*2024-01-13, version 1.3.2*

Unless this app is out of date, which it probably is, it simply doesn’t focus on or say which object I’m focusing my phone on. 

Too complicated, too many sub routines 

Maybe if you’re a professional astronomer or astrophysicist, otherwise don’t bother

### 1/5 — Bought this by mistake

*2023-02-26, version 1.3.2*

I want refund

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-02-18, version 1.3.2*

I want my money back. This terrible app doesn’t even show the starlink sats.

Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Upside down

*2021-06-18, version 1.3.2*

Hi. I don’t know what planet you are on but it’s VERY VERY FRUSTRATING BEING UP SIDE DOWN WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO VIEW NEAR YOUR POSITION. THANKS DUDE.

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2021-05-09, version 1.3.2*

Dear ,
I have purchased this satellite tracker in bundle but there are no updated information available on your app.
Sapcex has launched more than 900 satellites which are not available in the App.
Please update your App ASAP.
Thank you

### 1/5 — Music?

*2020-09-25, version 1.3.2*

Where is it?

App is nowhere as useful as with SkyView

### 5/5 — Excellence

*2026-03-10, version 1.3.2*

Most excellent program. Thanks

### 5/5 — Good app.

*2026-02-24, version 1.3.2*

I really enjoyed the older version of SkyView. This way on this app there is more information about satellites but a little harder to view what I am trying todo. But a lot more informational. Wish in was all one app and could hear the music and look at satellites like the older app z.

### 5/5 — T

*2024-12-02, version 1.3.2*

Great app, you won’t believe how many satellites are above you right now.

### 5/5 — ◾🌌

*2024-10-21, version 1.3.2*

🟪◾

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-03-14, version 1.3.2*

Quite helpful for using with my Celestron NexStar 4se! Absolutely recommend

### 5/5 — Awesome Satellite Locator

*2023-09-08, version 1.3.2*

I have been using the app for less than a year.  Awesome guide at night to find satellites in orbit within your view.   Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — I wish I could display the Chinese space station and the ISS at the same time

*2023-08-23, version 1.3.2*

I will give this Tri-quarter app five stars because I’m able to track each station individually. I wish I could have both at the same time. Also, the app says the Tiangong is no longer orbiting??? Which it is. The updates haven’t corrected this error.

### 5/5 — Magnífica

*2023-05-09, version 1.3.2*

Es una molt bona aplicació, fàcil i intuitiva.
Genial!

### 5/5 — Great Viewing App

*2022-07-30, version 1.3.2*

Love the app!  I’m an old timer that started using a program called InstaTrack back in the day.  I’ve used this app for awhile now.

Many people have commented on letting the display throw everything at you that is in the sky.  I believe they developed this precisely to allow you command of the space object catalog without being overwhelmed.  As a person becomes more comfortable with looking for objects of interest, the intuitiveness comes in with it.

It can be a parlor game, or a tool for more interesting insight.  As a space signal monitoring hobbyist,  this is one of many tools in my go-bag.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-07-02, version 1.3.2*

Very helpful!! I've being using this app around the world, sometimes still during the flight!!! Works perfectly!!!
