User Reviews

Users broadly praise ISS Detector for accuracy, ease of use, a large satellite database, supportive development, and good value. Privacy is a plus. Common drawbacks include the switch to a subscription model, advertising fatigue, and stability issues after updates (glitches, map overlays, and occasional crashes on older devices). A few miss features from prior versions. Overall, it’s regarded as a top-tier satellite tracker with room for improvement in monetization and reliability.

Pros

Accurate, reliable, and easy to use
Extensive, comprehensive database of trackable satellites (including Telstar; useful for amateur radio work)
Strong developer support and responsiveness with ongoing improvements
Great value and worth the price; frequent updates and professional UI
Privacy-conscious design with clear data practices

Cons

Shift to a subscription model with paid extensions no longer accessible without subscribing
Ads-heavy experience perceived as intrusive
Update-related stability issues (glitches with upcoming sightings, constant refreshes, map transparency overlay that can crash the app)
Compatibility problems on older devices (e.g., crashes on Android 7.1.2)
Some users feel certain features were missing after the rebuild

This was a great app at one time. Now, it's nothing more than an ad-machine and a data collection program. I have been with from the ewrly days and now I'm looking for a less intrusive ISS app.
