GoSatWatch Satellite Tracking

This is a great app, it’s 5 stars easy. The one thing I would love to see is the ability to filter the amateur radio satellites by band. Great work, none the less!

This is, IMO, the best satellite tracking app available for the iOS platform. All the bugs I encountered in the last version have been fixed.

This app just made my evening. A couple of good friends and I, with jazz cigarettes in hand, we were able to spot many flybys. This app worked perfectly, couldn't have asked for a better, more well functioning app.

I tried numerous other satellite locators that were 'good'. This app beats them hands down. Like comparing a Ford Pinto to a new Ferrari. The accuracy is remarkable. This, and the developer's GoSkyWatch are my two favorite apps. Note to the developer, I would pay the big bucks if you could hook up voice commands through a Bluetooth . That is on my wish list, but so is world peace . You did a great job on both these apps

This update makes it a 5 stars,

I love this app but needs more complete satellite list to obtain 5 stars. Please update soon.

I live in Canada near Niagara Falls. I was also semi believing that I would see the ISS rise on time over the horizon. And just as predicted here it was. I could not believe it. Ran inside to get my wife. Way too cool. Worth every penny. And it is lots of fun. I have since seen the Hubble space telescope and other satellites. It is worth mentionning that the interface is also pretty easy to use.

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.

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.

I have tried several sat apps. I always come back to this one. Nothing is perfect but for me it’s sure close.
