Let's me know when/where to see the International Space Station. I know times are estimate, so make sure you give yourself 10-15 min before & after the estimate time. (I've seen it 5 min before & 13 mij after est. time.) It's easy to spot on a clear night or slightly hazy night, as the metal reflects the sun light off of it, No flashing lights, consistent speed, No contrails.

Spot the Station is a fantastic app for space enthusiasts and "normal" sky-watchers alike. With real-time alerts and accurate sighting schedules, it makes spotting the International Space Station as easy as stepping outside and looking up.

Super cool interface and technical data. also nice that you can download the predictions and use them offline (like in National Parks, for instance).

Hey wonderful people that are absolutely killing it. This app is wonderful in so many ways. Please stop notifying me when we can find out quickly through so many APIs that I can't see the sky due to clouds.

This App is so convenient & awesome. The "Alert" feature works perfectly. Love the 3D map and POV animation from above the station looking downwards
