About this app

Looking up at the night sky and seeing the International Space Station (ISS) glide overhead is a breathtaking experience. With ISS Detector, you can easily track and locate the ISS using just your smartphone.

ISS Detector notifies you a few minutes before the ISS is due to pass overhead, ensuring you never miss the chance to see it. The app also checks for clear weather conditions, so you can have the best possible viewing experience.

But that's not all - with in-app purchases, you can enhance the functionality of ISS Detector even further. The Radio Amateur Satellites extension lets you track dozens of ham and weather satellites, complete with transmitter information and real-time Doppler frequencies. The Starlink and Famous Objects extension allows you to track famous objects like SpaceX's Starlink satellite trains, the Hubble Space Telescope, rocket bodies, and other bright satellites.

Finally, the Comets and Planets extension lets you track all planets and comets as they become visible in the night sky. Whether you're a space enthusiast or just looking for a unique and awe-inspiring experience, ISS Detector is the perfect app for discovering the wonders of the cosmos.

Excellent App for ISS viewing. I use this app all the time. Works perfect. Gives you an alert when the space station is going to be visible in your location. I highly recommend this app. Small amount of ads are just the right amount. This is one app I patronize the ads because it's so useful. Try it out. It may take a long time for the ISS to be visible in your location. Install it, set up notifications, and give it time.

A worthwhile app to have on your device. However, I came to rate this app because of an annoyance. Every time I go to record the sunset from the ISS, about 2 minutes into fullscreen mode, inevitably a banner pops up at the moment that the sun is just about to set asking me to review Rate this app. Well, that is a real crappy time to ask for a Rating. And the banner doesn't time out and there's no option to turn off the asking of a rating. There's one more thing. It doesn't always show a feed from the ISS. Sometimes it cuts to Nasa Channel, but it will give messages that the sun is about to set or rise in the ISS. Users should be able to pick between watching the ISS feed or Nasa Channel. All that being said, I do enjoy the app.

Love how easy it is to customize for what objects you want to track. The location diagrams and star charts are very close to observation. I'm finding, however, that the times are off by about 5 minutes and I must consult other sources or risk missing events such as the passage of starlink trains. I have tried manually adjusting coordinates to no avail. Since predictions are consistently later than actual times observed, I'm wondering if some setting adjustment might be possible.
