Best satellite tracker on the Play store, with the largest catalog and visual orbital representation! However, there seems to be a bug for the app not being able to use location, although given permission... And it would be nice to have the possibility to set the location where we want, and display all the satellites by categories and subcategories (ex: display only communication satellites that are geostationary), because all those green dots can get confusing

One of my favorite astronomy-related apps. Amazing to see all the satellites up there. I found the predecessor app Satellite Safari a bit better, but it's still a great app

Useful viewing options, but cannot select and show specific constellations of satellites. UPD for anyone interested: found how to do this under the "Settings" menu, which is only available in landscape orientation.
★★★★☆Robert Ewers· Oct 18, 2023
Great app only thing missing is a favorite section instead of having to look up the satellite your tracking each time. With favorite list would be 5star

Used to be a really cool app I spent a lot of time playing with. Unfortunately, it automatically crashes on start up now and attempted to clear cache and data only cause more problems. Hope it's fixed for Android soon.

I used a lot, and it's pretty good, but after the last update crashes after the splash screen. OPNord25G

Not all that great. I used (free) satellite tracking programs 15 years ago that were much better. For 5.00 you would expect a little more function, like being able to touch a satellite on screen and get the info on it. The old programs I have used, you could choose multiple satellites and see multiple paths at one time. When you view a satellite there is no indicator to let you see the movement direction. This app could be made better. Not really worth 5.00.
