What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"I love this app. Spot on for ISS crossings , ample info for nightly events."
ckizer2011
"This is a great app for amateur astronomers."
Richard McKay
"User interface is an 8.5! Was outlast night, was able to ID at least 4 satellites & 2 stars & I'm using the free version!"
Jess KmL
"I use this app quite frequently. Only thing that irks me is that I can't download fresh data when I'm hooked up to my VPN. So it sees me outside the US and won't grab the fresh data. Is it worth a full star deduction? No, not really. But I can't do half stars on the rating system."
Kris Herzog
"It was a really nice experience with this app"
Pallavi Bhosale
"The HELP option in the menu is unhelpful."
J Tengco
"This is a fantastic, informative, smooth running app that I use very often. ****FYI: There is one issue that just started today, upon opening the app multiple time satellite data data didn't automatically update like it usually does.****"
QUADE PRESCOTT
"When I use dark theme on my phone, that white circle locator goes black against night sky so its hard to spot."
Petar Bajic
"Simples de usar e leve para celulares com pouco processamento."
Vinícius Brito Barros
"I am enjoying the app however when I tried to get help I am directed to Reddit and have been unsuccessful acquiring the information desired to utilize some of the functions. For instance how to choose or select a pass."
