Spot the Station

I've had this app installed for a couple of weeks before rating it. No issues. I tested the AR view and it's pretty accurate - had no problem spotting the space station in real time and tracking it as it passed by overhead. You need to make sure the phone has the right permissions set to allow the app to have access to location and compass data for it to work correctly.

App locks up when. Selecting detect location. Endless spinning wheel even though prior screen shows precise location map. Unable to enter location manually either. iPad Pro 6th gen. iOS 16.2x Useless so now deleted off of device.

App doesn’t find my location and doesn’t respond when I enter location manually

The ‘next sighting’ tells you a date but not the time. Next to this has a countdown, so you have to calculate the time. Otherwise you have to click on the next sighting to get the list and then it tells you times. Would be nice if the next sighting button had the time with it too, rather than have to go to the list.

I love the app, I’ve been using it for awhile now but I would love to have an option of the map to show where it’s at like which country or state it’s flying over

As a student, I love the AR feature of this app to track the station in real time. There are also many other good features. Great job!

What’s not to love? Made by nasa for spotting the ISS. Also had AR, which is awesome and good customization for notifications. I use other sat tracking apps too, but am glad to add this to the list and will rely on it for ISS. My interest is primarily for AMSAT (amateur radio satellite communications) and love to make contact via satellites. Would be super cool to actually talk to an astronaut aboard; maybe one day. Also enjoy the ISS events such as SSTV, which you don’t even need to be licensed to receive. It does one job, and does it well. Thanks NASA!

Alerts and tracking work.

The app runs very smooth and is so fun! I love the AR feature and seeing the path of orbit. I totally recommend this!!

Developer read my 1 star review and took note of problem. They fixed it and now it works great! Original review below 👇 *** Loaded app and couldn’t even get past the location detection feature. I deleted and reloaded the app, tried again and nothing. There is no way to use app without using location detection and it won’t work. Waited 60 seconds for app to find my location (yes, I made sure I allowed it to) and nothing. Terrible. Deleted app again because unable to use.
