location services

this app need a third choice in Location services of "while using" I dont need this running in the back ground. Its a pain to have to manually change if I want to use app.

WOW

The level of detail in this app is astounding! Ive used websites and other apps to track sats and nothing else comes close. I took one look at this app and then bought another copy as a gift. My friend will certainly be blown away as well. Awesome awesome awesome!!

Fun educational app

It works great. My only suggestion would be to have a built in log so that you could keep track of your sightings.

Great, Educational for sky viewers

Have been watching The sky for probably 25 years, sitting out at the coast. With this app its even better to know the names or numbers of what your seeing go over head, wish this had been around a long time ago, highly recommended for anyone interested in looking up.

Total rip off !

This app does not work on the iPhone 5s. I doubt it works for any phone. It will always fail / crash saying the compass has interference, but the compass works on all oft other apps. If could give a negative rating I would !! Total and utter waste of $4.00. Buy a latte instead and use the money for something worthwhile. There other apps are trash too. You can get better stuff for free.

Ok but...

I used to use satellite tracker and the thing I liked about it is it showed up coming near passes and the elevation and azimuth but this application doesnt do that and it would be a nice bonus. I read somewhere that it supposed to pop up with an alert when you have an upcoming near pass of anything in your favorites especially the international space station which comes straight down my street. Does it do that or is that my imagination?

Satellite Fun

I have used this app. To aim Direct TV dishes and had great success also great fun entertainment and very educational... Also pointing my Sirius XM antenna... Nothing bad at all to say ... Also Sky View is extremely NeatO...

Why

This app for some reason doesnt work for me I have the iPhone 5 and whenever I point it up in the sky its just a frozen screen

Sky view satallites

This app is a must have if you have the sky view app. It lists everything that orbits our planet and so much more. If your into astrology and the solar system then you will love it.

THOSE 5 STARS...

ARE BIG AND BRIGHT... Right next to your satellite predictions! Way cool app...out of this world (or at least 240 miles out for the ISS and over 35800 miles for the High Earth orbit dudes)!

Worth the cost!

Thoroughly enjoyable, Fun for all ages!

Locks up my 6+

Promising app, but selecting information on a satellite locks up the program/iPhone. Have to double-click home buttom, swipe up to get rid of it. (Using latest iOS9+ bug fix)

Great satellite app

Does a great job of helping you identify what that satellite that just passed overhead and helps you plan upcoming viewings. Excellent app with a great "augmented reality" viewing mode where you point your phone at the sky and you get an overlay of all of the objects of a specific category of object passing into view. Only way to improve the app would be to have a "view all" mode and instead of having to pick the specific category you want to look for overhead at a given time.

Simple, awesome

This is a wonderful app. Easy to use and helps me find what Im looking for. Well worth the $3.99. Also, their opening logo looks really slick and makes me feel like Im logging into a starship database, so thats nifty.

Awesome App

Perfect way to understand everything happening around our planet

Never is calibrated correctly

It never is calibrated correctly and there is no way to manually calibrate it.

Used to be great

Loved this app. Used it at work for quickly locating satellites for sanity checking antenna pointing. Now compass does not work. Does not matter where Im looking the screen only shows satellites to the north and will not rotate with me. iPhone 6s Plus

Awesome

Great! recommend it to everyone!

Very nice.

A well done app thats fun looking for close encounters with satellites.

By far the best!

By far the best satellite watching app available. The only thing I was even slightly disappointed with was the surprise that the "point your iPhone at the sky" feature is only available on phones with a built in compass, but this was no problem for me because I have both.
