Description

For anyone who has ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered about the mysteries of the universe, witnessing the International Space Station pass overhead can be an awe-inspiring moment. The Spot the Station mobile app is designed to notify users when the space station is visible overhead from their location. It aims to broaden access and awareness of the station and NASA globally, by providing users with an opportunity to experience the wonder of the space station firsthand. The realization that there are human beings living and working in that tiny dot, orbiting the Earth at a mind-boggling speed of 17,500 miles per hour, is breathtaking. The app includes several helpful features including: 1. 2D & 3D real-time location views of the station 2. Upcoming Sighting Lists with visibility data 3. Augmented Reality (AR) view with compass and trajectory lines embedded into the camera view 4. Up-to-date NASA space station Resources & Blog 5. Privacy Settings 6. Push Notifications when the station is approaching your location.

Nice app but still needs something

metalshredder81 on

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.

It’s good but would like one feature

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

Love it!

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!

Simple utility that does the job well

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!

New update works

Didn’t work, now it does

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.

Accurate and easy to use!!

What a great app!!! I love the Augmented Reality View which makes it so easy to know where to look in the sky!

Crashes on iPhone 15 Pro

Mike McCollister on

When I try AR mode on my iPhone 15 Pro, app crashes. Also, a white splash screen when app is loading does. It make sense for an app used in the night. Update. Crash was fixed in version 1.2.1.

Fixed location issue

CAPRDN on

Like many others I can’t get past the detection screen for my location. Update: latest version of app fixed the problem. Works perfectly now. Thank you!
