Only ISS is tracked. All the satellites from the list are locked. You need to pay to unlock them. So it's ISS tracker - not satellite tracker.

It would work good, but randomly, ads lock it until you've wasted a minute or two watching them. Aggravating as hell.

it's great, if you like to watch the ISS fly over at night. the solar panels have to be facing the sun so you will see the reflection.

Installed as I wascurious about a wiggling satelite near me.Thought this could tell me the name of it, but I didn't manage to find anything else than the ISS position. Couldn't figure out how to see satelites. So have to disagree that it's intuitive. I am, however, giving it 4 stars because they made it super easy to unsubscribe in-app which is rare! So yes, 4 stars for being supertransparent about the unsubscribing, and ISS was nowhere near.-1 for not being intuitive. wish u thebest

my apologies, I could not see the x on the top right to close the start free trial. upgrade to 3 stars for your reply and having a basic version. Now I am in the basic version. Correct me if I am wrong, but it will only yell me when ISIS is overhead on the free version? I do see the other page with the satellite names but not on the map.

Hard to navigate. Can't zoom up on your location. Can't turn on all satellites on their list (limit must be about 30?). Says satellite is passing currently, but says that when a satellite isn't going to pass any closer than 500 miles.

This is a subscription service, which is not disclosed in the description. The description says "contains ads" which implies that it is an advertisement supported service. The reference to "in app purchases" is usually used for optional purchases. It doesn't say that you are REQUIRED to make a purchase of a subscription or it doesn't work.

False advertising. Should be made to put (7 day trial with auto-renewing subscription) or maybe just flat out slap a price tag on that thing. I'm not going to risk my credit or debit card for the 7 day trial whether it is refunded or not, which at that rate, should be if you cancel anyway. Either call it what it is, a gimmick paid hunk of nothing, or make it free like is implied with the lack of price tag.

This app is fantastic! I've always wanted to see the ISS, but those reporting its location never accurately describe it. This app will tell you when it rises, then switch the mode and point your phone at it. I watch it all the time now. And there are literally thousands of satellites available to track. 99 cents a month, what a great deal.

Great app. Downloaded it so I can point camera at a passing light in the night sky and see whether it's a satellite, like sky map (stars) and flight tracker (airplanes). My zone has 10 more visible satellites than max allowed so I didn't keep the subscription. If they expand this limit I would pay for this app because it is awesome to notice those little guys and then see what they are, and only $1/mo. Please expand the limit if possible, and let me know. Thanks!

Never really even got to play with the app because I'm not paying a monthly subscription. I bought the lifetime subscription with all the add-ons for their Star Walk 2 app, so I'm not opposed to buying apps. I'm just not doing a subscription model. The interface, from what I saw, did look nice and you can track ISS to start.

Not very useful Upon downloading the app, there's only an option to view the iss without paying money. And I know for sure that there are ways to view sattelites for free, it's just convenient to use an app so I don't have to manually type in coordinates. I would suggest making the sattelites that use open source api free, and then have the extra features be paid. Makes a lot more sense than to sell something that's free.

so far the satellite live option doesn't work even after doing the subscription. I'm about to cancel... Edit: cancelled subscription. Does not work. Edit 2: Thanks for the feedback. I am too busy to hunt down solutions for something that isn't working at time of purchase. I just want something that works. This is why it is important for devs to have QC procedures put in place to test production before initial release.

App description is misleading. You are expected to enter payment info and/or subscribe just to test the app. There is no way to see if the app works without paying/subscribing. If the app works as they claim, it absolutely would be worth the subscription. But with so many bad apps out there, I'm not subscribing for a "free trial" just to see if the app is worth it. It is also none of your business what other apps I have installed. Why require that permission for "marketing"?

Love this app! Not sure why the negative reviews. Interface is beautiful and very intuitive. I camp a lot in the remote Utah desert and it's so fun to see which satellites are passing by overhead! Absolutely love it! I click "track" on all my favourite satellites and can track them anytime it's so fun! Price is cheap honestly, $.99/mo. One time buy would be cool, but I understand there's probably recurring fees and work that goes into maintaining the app. Super fun and I use it a lot!

Needs to add many more satellites, rocket bodies, etc. The tracking is much easier than Heavens Above, but Heavens above will have a new object of some kind every minute or two, while this one may only track half a dozen all night. Also, intensities (brightness) should be listed. The bones of this app are good, but needs a lot more meat.

I got the free version for the ISS (which we were able to see) and then got the paid version for the rest of the satellites. Unfortunately, we were never able to see any other satellites that this app claimed to track. We were once in a low light area and saw several satellites but this tracker didn't acknowledge any of them. Also the only time it gave notifications were during daylight hours. I had high hopes but was very disappointed. If they can fix these issues it would be a great app.

Apparently this is a subscription. No mention of that when I downloaded it (unless it was buried in pages of EULAs or something). Thank goodness for Google giving me a heads-up that I would be charged. Also, the app doesn't really do much. The only satellite visible was the ISS. The others either weren't there or weren't visible. Meanwhile there were tons of satellites visible overhead that the app didn't know about. Save your money.

My phone is calibrated and my location is correct. I used to be able to track the ISS with no problems. I could use the app to see when it was passing over. However, since I paid for the subscription, the app is inaccurate. For the past couple of months, I haven't been able to see one single satellite or the ISS pass over. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phone. I'm definitely ready to cancel my subscription.

How about telling me BEFORE I download the app that after a free trial period, I have to pay for it? Nope. Not a word about being a free trial of a paid app. A single mention all the way near the end of a 5 page product description is rather disingenuous don't you think? You are correct about it being in there so, my apologies, though you may want to consider saying it in the first line or two. Maybe even in the title.
