A favorite satellite feature would be nice, as well as details for each satellite (frequencies, etc.).

Works good on LG Optimus Zone 3. No lags. Keplers easy to update. Update Keplers weekly at most. Nice simple interface. Has most current satellites with each update

Great App, but with a few added features it could be fantastic. My wish list: 1) Let me pick favorites, 2) display the frequencies, 3) notifications for passes (perhaps with the option to only alert if a pass is above a certain elevation). Otherwise this app does the trick.

by C####:

Also would be nice to have all currently visible satellites above my location. Frequency list for each satellite above would be a 6 stars app! Happy to buy paid version.

by C####:

Wish ot had the frequencies listed. Otherwise I have to go against a separate list. Not sure how hard that would be to do.

C70%
by C####:

You need to put more sat info on. And a feature to tell me the next sat over my location.

Would be 5 stars if it had uplink/downlink frequencies list.

S70%

The app is a great start, works well and is easy to use. The one problem tablet users are missing is not having a setting for landscape mode! I would also support a paid version, if it would speed development.

Predictions aren't even close...almost gave up before I realized it was bad info

C70%
by C####:

Cool but needs ui updates for sure.

Y70%
by Y####:

Suggested additions: 1. Select favorites instead having to go through the whole list; 2. Display link frequencies. As long as you remember to update the keps it works well.

X70%
by X####:

One big gotcha before you plan your next satellite hunt-- you must update Keplerians manually! If you use out-of-date Keplerian information, you might find yourself combing the skies for a satellite that doesn't exist. It'd also be great to set auto-update for Keplerians and to be able to sync with the calendar app in my phone. I'd be happy to pitch in if I just had a copy of the source code!

Excellent program. Have used it for years.

Nexus 7 2012 was working great! Then I upgraded to android 5.0 lollipop! And it broke this very nice app. Wooot! It's working again! Thanks for the update!

This is a good app. I wish that sat would be added quicker. To be fear most sat tracking apps are like that though.

Using it in emulation mode. Very quick response. Simple and efficient interface and map gets the point across. Nice job, Stefan VE4NSA

M70%
by M####:

Love this app. I use it all the time for tracking Funcube AO-73. Would appreciate an alarm function to remind me of a next pass.

Q70%
by Q####:

Could you PLEASE make it do landscape mode in non-map views, especially for tablets?

U70%
by U####:

Nice to run predictions without being at a computer. An alarm and verbal In Range would be great. Minimum elevation would also be very nice. Thanks!
