I was browsing the satellites when one of the satellites had so many lines it crashed the app and It kept crashing the app
Every time I open app it seems to say server unavailable tracking and passes may not be accurate. The sky view is complete garbage and I don’t even understand how to use it. Also I wish it actually explained all the types of satellites. Seems like if u pay for a satellite app it should have lots of info.
Yes, I made all of the recommended changes. Yes I am using https//celestrak.org/NORAD. Seems like I cannot connect to celestrak from my PC as well. I have switched to using the data from amsat. That is the only tle data that works. Can the developer switch the app to use a different database for satellite data?
Was a nice app but when I pulled it out recently it doesn’t appear to be updating the data for the satellites any more…
Nice and useful app. Did not give it 5 stars because it doesn’t sync across devices. Very frustrating when you’ve created several orbital elements but they only show up on one (I use the app on 3 different devices).
This is the best app on the market. You can add your own elements. Just wish it was available cross platform.
I was very skeptical at first for it shows the last developer activity seen on the app was two years ago, and then it being $9.99 …I was almost certain this was a mistake… I was wrong. No lie, his is actually the most solid app for satellite tracking. I’ve been using these apps for years and not one comes remotely close to this app layout/design.. Maybe Heavens Above(which is not available on the iOS App Store any longer), but this is actually better. Well done! Now I get to delete the several sat tracking apps I’ve been using.
I have tried several sat apps. I always come back to this one. Nothing is perfect but for me it’s sure close.
Bought this app because it was recommended on YouTube. After paying downloading I realized it is only showing passes after sundown and before sunrise, can’t figure out why. Pretty much useless to me at this point, if there is a setting I’m missing let me know and I’ll revise my review, but at the moment I regret spending the money. Satellite Chasers (also available for iOS) works better for me and it is free.
Don’t buy if you have an iPhone
