Ratings and Reviews
It's Kept Up With Newer Satellite Technology
For several years, I enjoyed using Satellite! to reliably predict the appearance of Iridium flares from the now non-existent Iridium satellites. After they disappeared I thought the app had outlived its usefulness. I was wrong. I soon found that I could now use Satellite! to view the International Space Station, the Chinese Space Station Tiangong, the Hubble Telescope, and now even the newer Starlink Satellites with the same pinpoint accuracy! It’s like Satellite! has reinvented itself! Great app!!!
Unforgettable moments
I've use this app to track and I radium player out of specific time while camping, took a whole group of friends down to the beach and do exactly the trajectory and direction to look at and everyone was amazed. I really appreciate the hard work of the app developer my only feedback would be optional push notifications for significant, impressive, magnitude 7+ events near me, preferably within a time window i.e. 4-10pm. Thanks!
Was good, now refuses to update satellite data. Also, strange error message.
This used to be one of my favorite ISS spotting apps. However, it now refuses to update the satellite data on iPads and iPhones alike, from iOS 12-16 and iPad OS 15-16. Going to Settings and tapping on Update does NOTHING. It continues to report Outdated. And, yes, WiFi is on and working. The Sputnik! app is the latest version. On an iPad 9, iOS 16.5.1(c), it alerts me: “Warning Satellite data has never been downloaded”, but does not load it automatically as it is supposed to — and used to. The Update button doesn't work there, either. On an iPhone SE, iOS 15.7.7, when I select any of the Satellite Sightings choices, it reports: “ERROR. Null check operator used on a null value”.
