I really enjoy this app as it can pretty much let me know when there will be something I want to see passing overhead. However I have a few questions. 1. Why in the list of nightly events are there hardly ever anything listed between the hours of midnight and 4am. 2. I live outside of our city and once my eyes are accustomed to the dark I can see quite a bit. But even satellites that are given a mag of 1.0 are very hard to see.

I'm having a little of a hard time understanding how this works. I used ISS detector and it's seriously easier to understand what's going on and which notifications I will get and which not. This app has a filter for hours... But will I get notified when the satellite is visible or just when it's overhead? Even in daylight? I'm not entirely sure which satellites it will notify either, or they expected magnitude, something the other app shows. I couldn't find a list of future passes. Your website is interesting tough, yet I colun't find info on passes and visibility from my configured location.

Overall; not as expected. Orientation not representative of actual display. East to left, east to right, neither acted as expected. Orientation based on board and identified references are off (compass is off). Not to the point you can't see where things are, but someone new would likely not see enough to correct for errors. GPS, didn't appear to be set properly. Neither did time. The compass jumps. A lot. As a non-moving star/satellite chart, it's ok. D+

This app is great, exceyfor the fact that you need a separate compass app to figure out where you are looking. I wish the developers would make the compass feature functional so I didn't have to use two different apps. Other than that, I love the live tracking of the ISS!

False notifications for ISS and Starlink. When I tap on them, the chart loads with the orbit and immediately disappears and no passes can be found in the list. No real notifications either. I can see the ISS passing, yet no alerts are shown before or during the pass.

The app is great but in the last week or so I'm getting a notification of an IIS pass in the middle of the afternoon every day. This is despite selecting visible passes only in the settings.
