SpaceStationAR is an augmented reality (AR) application that simulates the visibility of satellites in the night sky. With SpaceStationAR, you can easily spot the brilliant International Space Station, spectacular Starlink Trains, and various satellites at the forefront of space exploration with your own eyes!
As your iPhone or iPad camera captures the scenery around you, SpaceStationAR overlays passes of the International Space Station, the Starlink Train (a group of Starlink satellites), and the Chinese Space Station onto the actual scenery. You can also use the app to find bright stars, galaxies, spacecrafts like Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, and even see the direction of major cities beyond the ground. SpaceStationAR also indicates the positions of geostationary satellites, making it a valuable tool for antenna installation.
You can easily access satellite orbits on maps and celestial charts in addition to the AR views.
The "Calendar" tab displays events like upcoming satellite passes and rocket launches within the next two weeks. You can choose a pass from the list and simulate it in AR.
SpaceStationAR also comes with an Apple Watch app and a "Today" widget. If you have a compatible device, you can conveniently check a simplified satellite forecast list without needing to open the main app.
List of Features
* AR simulation of satellite passes overlaid on real landscapes
* Real-time tracking of passing satellites (Exclusive to the paid version)
* Display of stars, galaxies, black holes, planetary probes, satellites, and world cities in AR (Visibility can be customized by type)
* Visualization of satellite passes on maps and celestial charts (Celestial chart feature is available in the paid version)
* Presentation of satellite orbits and current locations on a global map
* Calendar listing satellite passes within the next two weeks
* Support for newly launched satellites
* Offline app usage
* Satellite pass notifications: Set notification times from 15 minutes to 6 hours before the event for accurate alerts. (Please allow background location updates for precise notifications. Disabling this feature may lead to inaccurate notifications when traveling long distances with the app closed.)
The LITE version of the app restricts AR mode display to 30 minutes before satellite passes and does not provide real-time AR functionality. Additionally, advertisements will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

FANTASTIC APP & AMAZING SUPPORT
After learning about the Chinese rocket booster CZ-5B that has fallen into lower orbit and is anticipated to fall to earth on or around 5/9/2021, I emailed Shingo Hisakawa at 2:21 pm EST, 5/4/2021, to request that the developer would add tracking for CZ-5B to SpaceStation AR. To my amazement, I received an email at 3:06 pm EST the same day confirming the addition and thanking me for my email. I have no association with the author and I am not even on the same continent! Unbelievable awesome support. Thank you.
Amazing
Just found the Pro version; this is one of the best apps in the App Store; Apple should feature it. 素晴らしい
Help Me
Got this app to track satellites and Starlink unable to find them send me some help and I’ll fix the review. 5 star for SpaceStation but 1 star for satellites.
Review
I really enjoy introducing new people to the viewing of an overflight of the ISS.
Crashes after version 2.7 update
Crashes after version 2.7 update
IOS 11.4.1 IPhone X
Works on iPad Mini, but not iPod
Tried this app on my iPod, didn't work at all. Tried it on my iPad Mini, works amazingly. Great app for iPad users, good tracking and allows me to see relatively nearby (pretty sure it is showing nearby) galaxies as well as satellites and most importantly, the ISS. Not bad, and as I've said, it didn't work for me with my iPod, but it may work for others.
Will not load location data
Screen does not update position data, stays all zeros with "Loading....." showing in the upper left corner. iPhone 6 - 64GB, iOS 8.2 and iPad Air 2 - 64GB, iOS 8.2.
Major Bug
I bought this app about two weeks ago. It was working fine then it began to crash. Now I can't even get it to open because it will crash before it can even load the home screen. I've tried to reinstall it twice and nothing has worked. iPhone 4
Uhh derp?
I may have messed up i cant left or right and the iss arrow just shifts when i look in the direction it is pointing
Uncanny Precision!
I rarely pay 2.99 for any app. But this one is worth it. Ultra fast and super accurate directional tracking is realized immediately when viewing the horizon. The ISS preview allows for perfect landmark pointing when preparing to view flybys. Great job!
