## Description

The 3D Satellite Tracker Chrome extension offers an immersive experience to track thousands of satellites orbiting the Earth. Users can explore a 3D hollow globe where selected satellites are displayed in real-time, allowing interactive spinning and pinch-zooming for detailed views.

Features include real-time tracking, viewing recent satellite paths, and tapping on satellites to preview their trajectory for the next 8 hours. Users can customize which satellite groups to display, including Space Stations like the International Space Station (ISS), GPS, Military, and Weather satellites. Position data is sourced from Celestrak to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the extension offers an optional in-app purchase to remove ads and support development. Ensure your device's time and timezone settings are correct for optimal tracking performance.

## Review summary

Users love the app's striking 3D visuals and the ability to filter and identify satellites, finding it a lifesaver for learning orbits. The interface and tapping navigation are praised for usability, and several reviews describe the concept as strong and engaging. However, issues recur across reviews: the app often forces very bright screens with little or no brightness control, crashes or shuts down on launch, and shows ads even when a no-ads purchase was made. Content gaps and confusing UI hinder practical use.

### Pros

- High-quality 3D imagery/visuals that give clear satellite views
- Comprehensive filtering and intuitive tap-based navigation to select fleets
- Lifesaver / helpful for identifying satellites and understanding orbits
- Strong overall concept and engaging visuals that feel like NASA-grade tools
- Layman-friendly interface that makes identifying satellites easier

### Cons

- Brightness bug: app forces maximum brightness and lacks brightness control
- Frequent crashes or immediate shutdowns on launch
- Ads appear despite paying for no ads
- Poor UI/UX and confusing controls / hard to use
- Incomplete data coverage: missing Starlink/Indian satellites and insufficient satellite data types
