Look out the window of the International Space Station — right now. The ISS orbits Earth every 92 minutes. ISSview puts you inside the Cupola, the seven-window observation module, while the real station drifts beneath you in real time. Every panel is live telemetry. Every readout is real data. Watch city lights blaze across Europe at night. Listen to NASA mission control on the live audio feed. Tilt up to see the Milky Way over the horizon. Get a heads-up when ISS crosses overhead at your location. Made for curious souls who like to wander. — FEATURES — • Real-time tracking — actual ISS position computed from CelesTrak orbital data • Earth view — live Sentinel-2 imagery, day-night blend, NASA VIIRS city lights at night • Stars view — tilt up and out, see the night sky from orbit with planets, constellations, and the occasional shooting star • Satellite tracking — Hubble, Tiangong, and Starlink trains, plotted in real time with reveal animations • Space weather — Kp index, solar wind speed, X-ray flux, aurora oval. Storm warnings inline. • Debris radar — phosphor-style sweep tracking the closest pieces of orbital debris around ISS • South Atlantic Anomaly — get a notification when the station passes through the radiation zone, just like the real astronauts do • Ground stations — watch ISS link up with Houston, Madrid, Tsukuba, Canberra, and more, with mission-control voice callouts • Ambient soundtrack — original tracks by Árstraumur, made specifically to match the contemplative pace of low Earth orbit • NASA's live ISS audio feed — listen to actual mission communications • Next pass over you — find when ISS will fly overhead at your location, with magnitude and direction • Astronauts onboard — current crew with bios, mission patches, and time in space • Upcoming launches — countdown to the next rocket leaving Earth • NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day — hidden behind a triple-tap easter egg — PRIVACY FIRST — No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your location, if you choose to share it, never leaves your device. — CREDITS — Built by David Elfström Lilja (davidlilja.se) for I/O Music & Design AB.

AllMySat is the satellite app built for radio amateurs and satellite enthusiasts. Point your antenna in the field, log the contact in seconds, and plan your next pass from your desk. FOCUS MODE, BUILT FOR LIVE OPERATIONS A large, high-contrast antenna alignment overlay you can read in direct sunlight, a smooth live polar chart, and real-time Doppler correction, all designed for hands-free use. NEVER LOSE A CONTACT AGAIN Talk through your pass and AllMySat records it. Your voice log gets attached to the contact automatically, so you can relisten later instead of scrambling to write down a callsign mid-pass. Add a photo as a souvenir, and every contact keeps its frequency, gridsquare, and mode, ready to review or export. AMSAT & QRZ, BUILT IN Browse AMSAT satellite status reports and publish your own from the app, with a ready-made, curated list of AMSAT satellites. Tap any callsign to pull up a QRZ lookup instantly. SOTA & POTA SPOTS Track live SOTA and POTA activations alongside satellite passes for combined field days. WATCH SATELLITES IN REAL TIME A live 3D globe, a 2D map with ground tracks and day/night terminator, an AR compass view to find satellites overhead with your camera, and Time Travel mode for past or future positions. PASS PREDICTION THAT RESPECTS YOUR SETUP Elevation, azimuth, and duration, filtered by your antenna's range. Custom alerts from 1 minute to 1 hour before acquisition, and the KP index to catch the best geomagnetic conditions. 35,000+ OBJECTS, UPDATED EVERY 6 HOURS Payloads, rocket bodies, and debris, with transmitter frequencies, launch metadata, and positions refreshed every 6 hours. Build custom lists to stay organized. STAY AHEAD OF WHAT'S IN ORBIT Upcoming launches, new deployments, and recent reentries. Know what's changing before it happens.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ISSview at none against AllMySat's 1. ISSview also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
