Earlier version would crash when I switched to the camera in AR mode. New version this week seems to have resolved that issue. This evening I got an alert that the ISS would pass over, and was able to successfully track it in AR mode. Thanks to the developers for reading these comments and acting on them.

What’s not to love? Made by nasa for spotting the ISS. Also had AR, which is awesome and good customization for notifications. I use other sat tracking apps too, but am glad to add this to the list and will rely on it for ISS. My interest is primarily for AMSAT (amateur radio satellite communications) and love to make contact via satellites. Would be super cool to actually talk to an astronaut aboard; maybe one day. Also enjoy the ISS events such as SSTV, which you don’t even need to be licensed to receive. It does one job, and does it well. Thanks NASA! Simple utility that does the job well What’s not to love?
