pxSatelliteTracking App Reviews

Cool app once you figure out how to use it. I would love to know how fast the satellite is moving, not just relV and what the satellite does :)

The app was working until the latest update. Selecting the Menu produces a grey line on the screen and nothing else. Unable to select any satellites or other functions. Previous version worked well. The developers website link does not work either!

Crashing all the time.

Very Good application.. But.. Its possibile convert the speed in other format?! For example 3,000km/s in 3000km/s or 3000km/s?! :):) Im hoping for an update..

Erased Cupertino, added ISS, now app crashes on launch!! Niiiiice!!!

Very very cool programm....nice!

I use this app to track various satellites and their passages over my ground station. Its a must-have!

Needs Apple Watch app and iOS 10 support. Needs to utilize built in compass, accelerometer, and GPS. Not easy to switch viewing modes. Needs a button instead of having to rotate iPhone. Needs to show more info on each satellite. Such as uplink and downlink frequencies for ham radio satellites. Should have option to show daylight and night areas on map. Needs to be able to switch between 12 & 24 hour clock modes. Not easy to tell when a satellite will next be passing my location. Needs to utilize accelerometer for augmented reality view.

Interesting to follow satellites, shuttle missions, etc. I just wish the instructions were in English. Also, half of the settings can be changed from metric, half cant. A lot of little things are holding this app back.

Im not sure why this app has such a low rating because it works well for me (iPhone 4). Once you figure out the app, it provides a great tool for spotting satellites, ISS & Shuttle, from the ground. My only request would be a circle around the satellite that depicts where it is visible from the ground as it is tracked. Space buffs will enjoy.

Think it seems cool but, cant figure out how to use it. Any help would be awesome!

This does just about everything you need to track sats. Took a minute or two to figure out but this is quite nice and free. And tracks multiple sats at once with an easy TLE update process. The layout could be revamped a bit but in all very nice.

Not with out its problems though. It lost the ISS completely as I was updating the TLEs and had to reinstall the app to restore it. Love the notifier. I finally got to see the ISS!!! And knew what it was because I was alerted to it. Nice feature! The instructions on how to use this app are a bit wanting and the UI appears to be a bit glitchy but I like it none the less. Its worth the download for sure.

There are times when I think this is a brilliant app; other times when Im baffled by how it operates! It is great at showing where satellites are relative to the globe-- and the time slider lets us see and show others how the position changes over time. Nice! Big issue, though! For some reason, it no longer shows orbital traces for satellites! Thats a downer. The rotate to change view function is hidden--just discovered it after months of using the app. There really needs to be an on screen icon for that We keep our iPads rotation locked. As others have pointed out, the interface is convoluted, though one gets used to it. The addition of ads, however, is a real irritant! If you go off line, though, they seem to vanish. Key point, however, this is an incredible app being free!! Even paid apps dont provide as much and many have weird oddities, too! Apple: the developers web site seems no longer in play, while the support site doesnt load! PxSat please fix that and orbital traces. Thanks!

Takes a little to figure it out, but my main interest is using it to track the International Space Station (ISS). Alerts you as to when it will pass over you. There are other features that I cannot figure out, but for free, Im satisfied with it.

What can you say about an app like this? It just works. Could use just a bit more polish on the US, but my only real complaint is the lack of a night-vision mode. By checking this device to see the position of the target satellite, you lose your ability to see it. Some sort of a red-only setting for tracking would be amazing.

Downloaded Sept 12, 2012 to new iPad. Pros: + No crashes so far :-) + Supports several online sources for TLEs or manual entry + Sliding timeline, but wish there was a quick way to reset to zero. + Can show several tracks with good zooming ability + Can alert to future passes + Earth map, or local horizon or zenith views + Supports multiple station locations Cons: - Dont yet see a way to show footprint

I use it to primarily track Amateur Radio Satellites. It does a super job, also like to track the International Space Stn. Also like to track Tiangong 1, the Chinese Space Station. Jim W8VXH

So far, I dont have a clue as to how to make it work. Instructions, or in the least a tutorial may help. Good thing its free!

Good app, but it needs a better interface and instructions. It also seems to consume more CPU cycles that perhaps are necessary resulting in heat and battery drain of my iPad 3.
