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!
