Pros and cons of ISS Spotter app for iPhone and iPad
ISS Spotter app good for
We were spending a weekend in the mountains sins and heard that ISS would be going directly overhead that evening. Got the app and set an alarm for the time to watch. Got a fabulous 3 Star view from horizon to horizon.
I used this app for the first time today, couldnt have been easier. The sky location and time of appearance were spot on. I think of all the times the ISS was overhead and visible in the past and I never knew it. This is a great way to observe an amazing piece of technology.
Very well designed. My daughter and I use it a lot. Best thing out there! Thanks
I use this all the time & have gotten family, friends, and complete strangers to look up at the sky with me to check out the ISS. This app rocks!
Perfect app for spotting ISS. It could show that it is directly over me, I look up, and there it is directly over me. Awesome.
I used various web sites to determine ISS siting times for my location. They were good but somewhat difficult and time consuming to work with. This app is great - very efficient, accurate, and informative. Thanks
Some bad moments
This app is a total joke and not accurate better off watching the local news
This app. Is not accurate. I have just tested it. Didnt even have to wait. The compass view screen co ordinates do not even match with the start / end arrows. Way way off compared with heavens above and SkySafari 5 whose data seem to match.
My first try was way off, out by a thousand miles. Also the alarm did not sound or email me or whatever, I missed the 3 star view
Thank you so much for a fantastic app to help me find the ISS. Its been 100% accurate so far, Ive been so lucky to be able to the see the station from my front yard because of this little creation. The GPS and times are spot on, I couldnt ask for a better app. Thank you again for putting so much work into this app to make it the best ISS Spotter out there.
