Satellite Tracker App Reviews

I havent had any issues at all. It works great and if you have the slightest clue as to what you are doing then it is very intuitive and easy to use. Thanks!!

More than 12 hours after it hit the earth somewhere in the pacific, this app is still showing UARS in orbit with a 150km altitude. Call me cynical but thats not exactly "precise".

Works most of the time. Locks up and you have to back out and try again.

This is an okay free app but I like the new app called P-track! Track satellites in real time and tons of different functions!

This App works well with my older 2nd gen. iPod. I have checked its tabular data displayed for ISS with STS Obital Plus vers,0123 Tracking program on another computer and this App. is very accurate ,The displayed satellite pass and times and dates are very accurate For ISS. Tiangong1 and Phobos-Grunt . Also It dose not need a wifi connection once Sat. data is refreshed and loaded to operate in the field!! Its very handy for predicting when a sat will be passing nearby. It works!!

This app is not working with my iPod. I could only go on it once.

Put it on my new iPod touch 4g. Accurate, and perfect for working the FM sats.

Newest version hangs. Uninstall / reinstall didnt work. Reboots dont work. Skip this outdated app.

I thought this app was doing a good job Predicting passes which helped working the birds. Recently the app crashed when updating TLE. Support did respond quickly when i sent an email. It eventually loaded properly and all is fine in the world. It is easy to use and very accurate.

ST hasnt worked for me in months. Whats up with that?

I use the app for two purposes: to communicate through ham radio satellites, and to track visible birds when doing star tracking photography. In both cases I need to know the direction of satellite relative to me. Sometimes I cannot tell which way is North particularly in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. That is why I hope they incorporate a compass function soon.

Does about everything I need.

App stops functioning almost everytime it updates TLEs at 7 out of whatever. Have to restart app at least 3 times to get past it.

Crashes after loading TLE files and possibly corrupts other unrelated files. GPS quit working on a 3G I had.

Found this very useful for the few ham says that I have used. I love watching the ISS. But this week I noticed when it wants the download tle data it crashes. Downloads the first 11-12 parts and then crashes the app. It just closes. I use iPhone 5 with the latest iOS updates. The app has worked great till now. I have used this app since I had a iPhone 3G then used an iPhone 4g.

This is a good app when it works. I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 6 and the app quit working.

Opens in a list of satellites, then freezes.

Used to use this app every week at least to track satellites for ham contact. Updated to iPhone 6 and iOS 8 and it no longer works at all. Just freezes on the home page. Also hasnt been updated for screen size since iPhone 4. I would love to use this app a lot, and would even be willing to upgrade to the pay version if the developers would continue to support it but it looks like this series has been abandoned.

12/11/14 Second Review Worked fine except for problems noted below. Now that I have an iPhone 6+ running iOS 8.0 and upgraded to 8.1.2, app loads and the screen is frozen. First review below. Found a slight bug. When displaying the details for passes after a pass has started, the AOS changes from the true AOS which would now be in the past to the AOS of the next pass. The LOS is correct. This causes the estimated duration of the pass to be zero. Back on the plot screen, everything is still displayed properly. Not a big deal and does not affect the operation of the program. Pretty slick protractor built in. You can use it to judge the elevation for your handheld antenna or to sight the passin ISS. KK5DO

This app needs a major update to be compatible with iOS 8. Currently it just freezes, wont accept any touch screen input, and has to be force quit.
