  1. 4/5Does Not Sync With Other Devices Using the App

    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).

  2. 5/5Finally, this one is the one

    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.

  3. 5/5Best satellite tracker of the bunch!

    Even though the developer hasn’t done any updates in years it is still hands down the best of the satellite trackers for the iPad and iPhone. Clean, easy to use interface without unnecessary clutter choking other similar apps. Easy to add additional satellites. The perfect no-nonsense app for satellite tracking. to the developer: please please please update to keep this great app working!

  4. 4/5Crash found

    I was browsing the satellites when one of the satellites had so many lines it crashed the app and It kept crashing the app

  5. 4/5If your app crashes in iOS 14.2

    If the app crashes immediately upon opening. Deleting and reinstalling the app fixes the problem. Developer, thank you for the quick fix.

    Currently the sky view motion control is not working properly with the new iPhone 6s and 6s plus. This will be fixed with the next update. In the mean time motion control can be turned off in the preferences for manual control. A recent review incorrectly states that the location is always tracked the background. Location is only used when the app is first started to correctly set the sky view and is then turned off to save power. Due to recent iOS security changes any app not updated for iOS 8 or later will default to showing location "Always" even if it is not always used.
