## ISS Spotter Reviews in United States

### *---- "App stopped working in august"
App is great have been using for years but in Aug 2025 it stoped working.  It just quits while using.  Please fix.
-- jmf614, 2025-09-02

### ***** "Exactly what is needed, nothing more"
I love that this is a free app that provides all that is needed to let you see the ISS. It doesn’t try to pack a lot of features in that you won’t use, this hoping you’ll pay some fee. 

Kudos to the developer for having a big heart
-- GreginTenn, 2025-07-13

### *---- "Abandoned App"
I always loved using this app to see if the ISS was flying overhead. It would give me forecast where in the night sky it would be next.

The app seems to have been abandoned and is no longer giving good information :(
-- JakeWillis, 2025-07-11

### *---- "Updates too late"
You'll end up missing the ISS, this app is too old, don't download it.
-- Spanksers, 2025-07-11

### ***** "Love the App!"
I love this app, have enjoyed watching the ISS move across the sky.  It’s just amazing to be able to use the app and see the ISS, with no equipment and appreciate the brave men and women who are working in Spaaaaaace…… if you see me in my front yard looking up at the sky, just tracking the space station as it orbits the earth
-- BK-47, 2025-07-09

### **--- "Disappointed"
Has become unreliable as to time and location.  Sad. 
Have loved it for years.
-- ppiui, 2025-04-04

### **--- "Nonfunctional"
I’ve had this app for years. It’s slowly degenerating to worthless. 
I just reloaded it and when I open it, it look normal for 5 seconds and then just disappeared to my home page. 
I’ve had more and more trouble with it as time passes. 
I can’t recommend this to anyone. It’s free but not worth the frustration..
-- jsleroy, 2025-03-18

### *---- "Crashes"
App started crashing when I tap on location. App did work flawlessly until a few weeks ago. Help. I really enjoyed using the app.
-- Green Bean 3, 2024-12-03

### *---- "App crashes on iPhone 14"
I used to love this app. It never let me down. Even out in middle of Lake Powell I could see when it would be over us. But on my iPhone 11 and then the 14 Pro, app crashes whenever opening the forecast to schedule viewing. I also have the newest larger IPad and have no trouble with this app on that device. My hubby has no issue on his iPhone 14
I’ve tried to get help. I’ve rebooted many times to no success. It’s been over 3 years since I could set an alarm to notify myself when ISS will be in my area. This latest report dated 12/2/2024
-- Sitzmarker, 2024-12-02

### *---- "Crashing"
App crashes constantly
-- Eyegore560, 2024-11-07

### *---- "It Doesn't Work With iOS 18"
I was given a loaner phone (iPhone Xr) until my 14 Pro is repaired or replaced. The first thing it did was update to iOS 18. With that update ISS Spotter does not work at all. Please update the app as I depend on it to keep track of the Space Station's location.
-- ffkarle, 2024-10-30

### ****- "ISS SPOTTER"
I have been using this sometime back regularly and was working okay. However, recently I gave a donation too. Now forecast and setting buttons are not responding please.
-- PGLP1, 2024-10-17

### *---- "Not Working"
Yesterday I heard that it would be overhead - the app show it over SE Asia. Same results today.
-- JayneR57, 2024-09-14

### *---- "App closes down."
The app closes down anytime I hit anything other than home. If I look at the tracker, it shuts down so it is not fully functional. I did make a donation.
I am giving you one star so this problem can be corrected. I have an Apple iPhone with the latest update installed. 
I love the app and I’ve never had a problem with it before, but it won’t show me or what identify when I can view the ISS passing over.
-- 72REGOR, 2024-09-06

### *---- "App dies now (need update!)"
The app opens. But when I tap to set up alerts, it closes. Every time. 
Did the app designer die?!?!?
Used to love this app. Bye
-- RedFranklin2, 2024-09-03

### ***** "Best app ever"
This app is perfect if you want to know the exact location of the ISS
-- 420scooter, 2024-07-30

### *---- "I used to love this app- now it doesn’t work!"
The app opens. If I touch forcast or settings - the app dies.   I uninstalled reinstalled it did not help. Here at the App Store there’s some link for  app support -it takes you to X. I don’t have X.
-- Pandapower63, 2024-07-26

### *---- "No longer working"
I’m quite sad as this app no longer functions. I really enjoyed knowing when the space station was going over no matter where I was. 
Is there any chance of it getting fixed??
When it was working it was a 5 star app for sure.
-- Star geser, 2024-06-13

### ***** "Wonderful app that is USEFULL"
I have enjoyed this So Much. I have my husband watching the ISS go over along with grandkids. It’s amazing that we can watch something that far away and just stand in the yard watching and don’t have to have any special equipment. I’m 77 years old and watch with as much excitement as if I were a kid at Christmas!  A special thank you for all your hard work on making it available to so many people. I’ve shared this information with several friends and hope they are excited as I am, watching the ISS make history.
-- ladybuginsc, 2024-05-27

### *---- "Curious"
I can’t view anything, says it is locked.
