1. 4/5Perfect for sky watchers

   I was with my Dad watching the meteor shower last August and we saw a couple satellites go by. I downloaded this app right then and LOVED the quick access to information. The only way to improve this app is why it is a star short of all 5. The reason is this: you can only view one category of star at a time. For example, you. Can view communications satellites but not military and weather. This, to me, is an unnecessary distinction. Rather, let me see it ALL at once and simple learn about each one as they flow over me and I search for them. Let these categories become FILTERS as opposed to mutually exclusive choices.

2. 5/5Sky View

   This is about the coolest app I've seen so far. I never knew you could see a satellites or space junk fly overhead with just your naked eye. I've made this somewhat of a hobby, on clear nights to go outside and see just how many satellites or space junk I can find. I think the neighbors think I'm whacked at this point be I sit in the yard looking up at the night sky with smartphone in hand. I've always been interested in science so this is just one more way of expanding that interest. To see a piece of space junk fly overhead moving at 2000 mph and 350 miles up just trips me out. The app gives you so much detail and information on what you're viewing and a detail cartoon picture of the object, makes it well worth the $5 spent.

3. 3/5Still no Webb Telescope

   The Satellite and Skyview apps are good, but major items like the Webb SPACE Telescope are missing. The App’s data must be really outdated, which is really a bummer. While Skyview is one of the best astronomy apps there is to view planets with, planets have been a round for a while. Humans launch satellites a little more frequently than planets are created, how about an update for one of the most important and significant events in astrology like including something as huge as the James Webb SPACE Telescope. It’s only been a decade or more in development, launched months ago, and now configured and tested and sending pictures back to earth. You want to fall over, then include the Web SPACE telescope and some of it’s hot new pictures. The universe is getting old, let’s do it while it’s still here :)

4. 5/5Absolutely Fantastic App!

   Love this app, very well done. Have been looking for an app like this for a while and finally found a winner. A few suggestions for future versions. 1. Allow viewing of sub-categories (ie: Communications->Iridium to just view the Iridium Satellites). 2. Put a button to re-spin the globe like at startup. 3. Allow spinning the globe on the earth's axis (lock in axis in place). 4. Lighten the dark sky areas, very difficult to see most of the world other than what's lit up. An alternate would be to have a switch to turn it to daytime worldwide. I hope you'll consider these suggestions to make your fantastic app even better. Totally love it! Very well done.

5. 5/5Great Viewing App

   Love the app! I’m an old timer that started using a program called InstaTrack back in the day. I’ve used this app for awhile now. Many people have commented on letting the display throw everything at you that is in the sky. I believe they developed this precisely to allow you command of the space object catalog without being overwhelmed. As a person becomes more comfortable with looking for objects of interest, the intuitiveness comes in with it. It can be a parlor game, or a tool for more interesting insight. As a space signal monitoring hobbyist, this is one of many tools in my go-bag.
