Description
Orbitrack is a brand-new, Augmented-Reality satellite tracker and spaceflight simulator! It's your pocket guide to the thousands of spacecraft in orbit around our home planet.
1) More than 4000 spacecraft, including all active satellites, classified military satellites, the International Space Station, and SpaceX's Starlink communication satellites.
2) Rich new graphics show atmospheric effects, city lights on Earth’s night side, and highly-detailed 3D satellite models.
3) An "augmented reality" mode that helps you find satellites in the sky using your device's GPS and motion sensors. Works with Orbit and Satellite views too!
4) Radio frequency data for amateur radio satellites.
5) Updated descriptions for hundreds of spacecraft. Every satellite now has a description from n2yo.com.
6) Supports the latest Android hardware and OS (Android 10, "Q").
7) Dozens of user interface tweaks and optimizations make Orbitrack faster and easier to use than its predecessor, Satellite Safari.
8) New sound effects and ambient background music.
9) New Time Flow controls let you easily set the date and time, and animate the view.
If you're new to Orbitrack, here's what it can do:
• Track thousands of satellites. Orbitrack will tell you when spacecraft pass overhead, show you where to find them in the sky, and let you track them across the planet.
• Teach you about the International Space Station, and hundreds of other satellites in orbit, with comprehensive mission descriptions.
• Show the view from any satellite, and see the Earth from orbit just as the “bird” sees it! Orbitrack includes detailed 3D models for dozens of satellites – see them up close from any angle!
• Stay on top of the space race. Orbitrack updates its satellite data from n2yo.com and celestrak.com every day. When new spacecraft are launched, maneuver into new orbits, or fall back into the atmosphere, Orbitrack shows you what’s happening up there, right now.
Orbitrack isn’t just powerful – it’s incredibly easy to use! You don’t need an aerospace degree to become an expert satellite tracker. Orbitrack puts advanced capabilities at your fingertips, with the same intuitive touch interface you use every day.
And if that’s not enough, Orbitrack includes detailed, built-in Help – and expert, responsive technical support.

Awesome one. Searching for this kind of app. Very useful if you like stargazing and lives in rural areas where the sky is more clear.

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
★★★★☆Aaron S· Sep 5, 2023
Has been accurate, lots of satellites with relevant info, and a relatively straightforward ui. Does chew battery but my phone isn't so new. Would appreciate some more filtering/search options for repeat tasks. Favouriting satellites or adding passes to a list would be handy for planning tracking activities.

A great satellite tracking app that is ruined by no way to turn OFF the very annoying background music/noise. Fix this, and you will have a 5-star app.
★☆☆☆☆Kieran Conmy· Sep 20, 2023
App will not let me download the initial data cache even while being on Wi-Fi! Works on android tablet but not on android phone.
★☆☆☆☆Michael Duvall· Jul 9, 2022
Latest update crashes after the splash screen. App no longer functions.
★★☆☆☆John Mobley· May 15, 2021
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.
