"Notification says the ISS is going to pass, I click on the notification to launch the app, up comes the skychart as expected. However, no pass is depicted and it ``says no pass selected``. Help."

"Love this app. Would love to see some upgrades. Like using a icon for the sats. Going full screen with the map globe screen. Show 3 tracks forward and 2 tracks back. Also a nasa mode to look just like nasa screen. Would love to be able to activate a relay from this app when sat is aos and los. Bluetooth maybe. Nice program just got the pro version. Worth it...."

"Very disappointed for a paid app for night at observing. No info about planets or stars. No way to calibrate orientation or magnetic field. No way to compare brightness of stars to brightness of satellites to set threshold. I`ve stood here for 49 minutes, I haven`t been able to find a single satellite that the app identified for me, and I`ve seen two or three satellites go over that were not displayed on the map. I think it`s just painting pictures and scooting them across the sky."

"Excellent app; the UI is very well done. I would love to see a feature that allows the import of TLEs from a URL so that classfd (for example) can be tracked."

"Absolutely LOVE the app, especially the alert for ISS sightings! What I`m puzzled about are the other visible objects which move like satellites, but they do not appear on this app. Are military satellites hidden from tracking for obvious reasons? Potentially Space Force (insiders say we`ve been up there for 20+ yrs!)? Also would love to see Iridium Flares and Comets identified ahead of time. If they are available in the Pro Version, I just haven`t seen any yet. Very easy to use, night view looks great and is easy on the eyes! ."

"Very imprecise compas. My other compass app works just fine, and in this application it can jump by a quadrant at a slightest movement of the phone. The map is small and half of the screen space is wasted. I expected more from the paid version."

"The Pro version is so much smaller. Does it get its data from the free version? And what is the mysterious red arrowhead? It is now yellow! According to the Web page, it doesn`t exist! The app detected a ``strong magnetic field`` while the charger was plugged in."

"Several functions appear to be non-working on my Android tablet. The recticule function wobbles around the sky chart no matter how the tablet is held. The filter function does nothing. And the Help link doesn`t link to anything."
