Comments on W1ANT Satellite Tracker for Android

★★★★★ Only thing I noticed is on Lilacsat-2 the frequencies fo FM up and down link don't match the Amsat published frequencies. I believe the Amsat frequency is correct. I do like the actual up and down doppler shifted frequencies, so you can check if your transmit and receive frequencies are correct. Developer corrected the frequency difference. Quick response. Use the app every pass.

★★★★★ Looks useful. More info than the other app I've been using. Would like a dark mode option as I often use my phone outside at night for sat tracking. I don't mind ads, but I hate Google's ads that put the silence button in a different place for each one. I use my phone for lullabies when holding a baby, and it's aggravating when the gentle music stops and the happy active look at me advert blasts out of my phone and wakes the kid. Please request Google improve their ad options for your user.

★★★★★ This seems to be a decent app. It looks neat and clean and has functioned well for me so far in a few basic tests. I have yet to try to use it to make comms with a satellite, so can't comment as to the accuracy of the info, but assuming it is accurate, it seems like a nice app. I will try it for a while and maybe consider the paid version, but it doesn't really seem worthwhile to make the upgrade. Maybe if there were a few more features in the paid version, or if it were a bit cheaper.

★★☆☆☆ No way to filter for FM only. No way to filter for desired satellites only.

★★☆☆☆ Whatever bug fix you applied has done something else because my phone says it can not open due to a bug.

★★☆☆☆ Practically useless. No capacity to view satelite locations. Just gives static info downloaded from a website presumably. No interactive capability at all. The other reviews here are lies. Uninstalling
