Comments on ISS Detector Satellite Tracker for Android

★★★★★ Frank Columbus · Feb 23, 2026

Very comprehensive library of trackable objects. Great for Amateur Radio Satellite work. Thank you for adding the Tel star satellites to the database for Famous Objects.

★★★★★ Astrostorm · Apr 1, 2026

This app is very accurate and helpful! It is actually spot on with predicting the ISS and even other satellites. I've been using the app for years and it is very helpful. Get this app if you want to see the ISS while it still exists.

★☆☆☆☆ Dave F · Mar 6, 2026

Do not update. No more map. You can not see or track the ISS anymore. This app worked great for years and now it is completely useless.

★☆☆☆☆ Modern Bushcrafter · Oct 23, 2025

Waste of money, very buggy and not all features work. I purchased the full bundle and regret it. The app doesn't work all the time for the extensions such as amateur satellites when selected, it will not show up. I reset the app, and it is worse as it has even less of the extensions showing than before, despite the settings to show the info correctly set. The live video feeds of course won't work as well. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 if that helps.

★☆☆☆☆ Exeter Birder · Feb 26, 2026

Previous versions were very good. The latest app update is poor and very dark almost black to use especially the live map details making it almost unusable as can not see the country details anymore. No option to change either. It's the worst version I've ever used!!!
