If I could change one thing…
This is a terrific app for chasing amateur radio satellites. I love the globe feature which allows a visualization of the footprint as the satellite travels. The AR sky map is also extremely helpful for pointing the antenna. One minor complaint is that every once in awhile, I open the app to find several satellites added to the “passes” list that I did not select. It’s no big deal to de-select them from the “satellites” list. A major problem for me is that the “passes” list reloads every time I return from a different part of the app, or from another app altogether, such as a web browser. It makes planning satellite ops frustrating, because the hang time for reloading can be up to thirty seconds. It sounds trivial now that I’m typing, but when I’m checking transponder schedules or the AMSAT status page on a bird from the upcoming passes list, when I return to GoSatWatch “passes” page, I have to wait for it to reload all over again, which can be especially aggravating when I had scrolled quite a ways down the list, perhaps as far ahead as the next morning or afternoon. I have found the information provided by this app to be very accurate. I’m not sure I could work the birds without it. GoSatWatch is absolutely worth the cost.
Finally, this one is the one
I was very skeptical at first for it shows the last developer activity seen on the app was two years ago, and then it being $9.99 …I was almost certain this was a mistake… I was wrong. No lie, his is actually the most solid app for satellite tracking. I’ve been using these apps for years and not one comes remotely close to this app layout/design.. Maybe Heavens Above(which is not available on the iOS App Store any longer), but this is actually better. Well done! Now I get to delete the several sat tracking apps I’ve been using.
Works great for me.
I have tried several sat apps. I always come back to this one. Nothing is perfect but for me it’s sure close.
Dissapointed
Bought this app because it was recommended on YouTube. After paying downloading I realized it is only showing passes after sundown and before sunrise, can’t figure out why. Pretty much useless to me at this point, if there is a setting I’m missing let me know and I’ll revise my review, but at the moment I regret spending the money. Satellite Chasers (also available for iOS) works better for me and it is free.
Doesn’t work on iPhone
Don’t buy if you have an iPhone
Doppler Shift
Would love to see on screen display of when to switch Doppler Shift frequencies as the sats Passover for ham radio. Would be a huge help.
Rip off
I bought this app specifically because it advertised I’d be able to track the Inspiration4 spacecraft but after I paid $10 the link they provided to set up tracking was no good. I looked for a way to contact the developer or support and couldn’t find any, go figure. What a scam.
Yay! You’re working on it again!
Today, I revise my original review. As much as I love your app, I really became frustrated with the fact that it just sat for a long time untouched.
A friend told me about another app (ISS Tracker) that I started using, but it’s still not as good as GoSatWatch! Yours is the best satellite tracking app in the iOS App Store.
Glad to see you’re back at it again! Keep up the great work and keep the features coming.
Thanks!
What happened?
Unable to update orbital data? Have tried reinstalling but still not working.
Great app
App is fantastic. I use it constantly to track ham radio says. Thumbs up baby!
