Ratings and reviews

It works, but it's reaaaaallllly slow. After 3 minutes it found my location and it did show me the satellites. I tried to do the tutorial but it wouldn't load more than the first screen. I tried to look when the ISS would come over next and gave up after 4 minutes of 'calculating'. My phone's not that old, but this seems like it needs a computer to run.

Data takes some time to load. I know it is hard to develop android apps but get it well tested (with network throttling as well) prior release. You can also use the testing tracks before release to get major issues fixed. Looking forward to a better app. Wishing you success.

This app definitely needs some more work, to improve the visual design and small bugs. However it is super cool and functional in it's current state, I recommend trying it out!

What's new

Satellite Chasers' latest release adds up-to-date radio signal details to the end of the satellite description. Thank Kj5bms for this request! An issue was also resolved.
