User Reviews

Users generally praise ISS Detector for real-time tracking, Doppler-enabled AR viewing, and a feature-rich, easy-to-use interface with up-to-date data. However, multiple reviews report stability bugs after updates, radar UI glitches, and data-persistence problems. Privacy concerns, including explicit ads and tracking, are repeated, along with occasional data accuracy issues and difficulty with purchases/support. Overall strengths are reliable predictions and ham-radio tools; primary drawbacks are reliability, privacy worries, and inconsistent data behavior.

Pros

Real-time satellite tracking with Doppler correction and AR view.
Easy-to-use, well-designed interface with strong amateur-radio features (filters, passes, Doppler, etc.).
Up-to-date TLE data and generally reliable pass predictions.
Affordable pricing with no mandatory subscription.
Responsive developer who fixes bugs and communicates.

Cons

Stability and data persistence issues after updates (crashes, satellites list disappearing, purchases not restoring).
Radar/UI glitches after updates (orientation flips, unstable tracking, zoom-related flip).
Privacy/ad concerns and data-tracking worries (ads with explicit imagery, data-tracking concerns).
Data accuracy problems (times wrong, latitude/longitude discrepancies, passes missing).
Purchase/support issues (restore purchases failing, hard to find support contact).
