Follow the International Space Station in real time, plan your next sighting, and explore the spacecraft and worlds beyond Earth. ISSINFO combines live orbital tracking, accurate pass predictions, weather insights, and immersive 3D experiences in one app for iPhone and iPad. TRACK THE ISS AROUND EARTH - Follow the ISS on standard, satellite, hybrid, and photorealistic 3D globe views. - See the station at its true orbital altitude above a realistic day and night Earth. - View current and historic orbit paths, city lights, altitude, speed, visibility, and the location below. - Track Tiangong, Hubble, Vanguard 1, Landsat 9, and NOAA-20, each with its own position and orbit. PLAN YOUR NEXT SIGHTING - Find upcoming passes for your location. - Check start time, direction, maximum elevation, duration, visibility, and viewing quality. - Use cloud cover forecasts to decide whether the sky is worth watching. - Explore detailed sky path diagrams and maps for each pass. - Point the AR camera toward the sky to help locate the ISS. CHOOSE HOW YOU ARE ALERTED Set a standard notification before a pass, or choose a wake-up alarm for a pass you do not want to sleep through. Select an alarm at the start of the pass or from 5 to 60 minutes beforehand. With permission, alarms can sound through Silent Mode and Focus with a full-screen alert. STARLINK VISUALIZER Watch thousands of Starlink satellites move in real time around a photorealistic 3D Earth, or replay the last 24 hours and see the Earth turn beneath the constellation. Filter by orbital shell, use tapered trails to read direction, see your own location, and select individual satellites for live altitude and speed. Positions are computed on your device using SGP4. TRANSIT FINDER Discover rare moments when the ISS or Tiangong crosses the Sun or Moon. Search around your location, view the ground centerline, see exactly where to stand, inspect transit diagrams, compare the view from home, and open driving directions to the best viewing spot. SOLAR SYSTEM SIMULATOR Travel through a detailed 3D model of the Solar System using real planetary positions. Move through time by up to 50 years, switch between visual and true scale, inspect planets and moons, and explore a GPU-rendered asteroid belt. FOLLOW ARTEMIS AND THE CREW Track NASA Artemis missions through live and historic deep-space trajectories, mission phases, itineraries, imagery, and phase notifications. You can also meet the people currently in space through crew photos, biographies, missions, and spacecraft details. ISSINFO Pro includes Starlink Visualizer, Transit Finder, Solar System Simulator, 30 days of pass predictions, multi-satellite tracking, cloud forecasts, AR tracking, pass notifications, and wake-up alarms. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS ISSINFO Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. New subscribers can try the yearly plan free for 1 week. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://issinfo.net/app.html#privacy Built for space enthusiasts, photographers, educators, and anyone who has looked up and wondered when the ISS will pass overhead.

About

Quantum Horizon

Features
Read full description

Quantum Horizon is a cinematic observatory for relativity and quantum physics — built so you can feel spacetime, not only read about it. Fall toward a black hole and watch minutes become years. Drag masses across the Milky Way and catch Einstein rings. Prepare a wave function, then collapse it. Entangle two particles and run a real Bell test. Leave near light speed and return younger than the world that waited. WHERE SPACETIME BENDS • Black Hole Time Warp — Schwarzschild gravitational time dilation outside a horizon. Slide closer and watch Earth race ahead while your clock crawls. • Lensing Observatory — Interactive gravitational lensing across a Milky Way sky. Bend light, hunt rings, add companions that can fall into the well. • Relativistic Journey — Special relativity with live γ. Feel the twin paradox as two ages, not a textbook footnote. • You vs Others — Two ages. One voyage. See who aged less after a near-light trip. QUANTUM MEASUREMENT • Wave Function Collapse — Write two futures, set amplitudes, measure with the Born rule. One path becomes real. • Branching Histories — Parallel stories, optional relativistic aging, one collapse that chooses a history. • Entanglement Lab — Bell states (Φ± / Ψ±), Alice & Bob detector angles, running correlations, and a CHSH test that can beat the classical limit • Live quantum link — collapse and entanglement sampling can reach a real-time quantum device — so the decisive moment is tied to genuine quantum hardware. MADE TO FEEL REAL Textbook formulas power the tools: Lorentz γ, Schwarzschild dilation, thin-lens geometry, Born-rule probabilities, and Bell correlators from quantum mechanics. Beautiful, playable, and built for curious minds.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quantum Horizon at none against ISSINFO's 2. Quantum Horizon also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). ISSINFO's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
