Features & Capabilities

SpaceStationAR is an augmented reality (AR) app that overlays satellite passes onto the real night sky. See the ISS, Starlink trains, and other satellites, as well as stars, galaxies, and city directions, through your iPhone or iPad camera with maps, celestial charts, and global orbit data.

Key features include AR passes, offline usage, a two-week calendar of upcoming passes and launches, an Apple Watch app, and a Today widget. Night Observation Mode reduces eye strain, and the app can forecast atmospheric re-entries (beta). The Lite version restricts AR, runs ads, and the paid version unlocks real-time AR and more.

User Reviews

SpaceStationAR is highly praised for its AR-based satellite and ISS tracking, intuitive use, fast and accurate directional guidance, and strong developer support. Reviewers also value its price/value and its performance on iPad. However, multiple users report stability and compatibility issues—crashes after updates, failures on older devices and iOS versions, and occasional data/position updates or UI misalignments. Overall, a top tool on compatible devices, with improvements needed in stability and legacy-device support.
Pros
  • AR-based ISS/satellite tracking is easy to use and effective.
  • Accurate directional tracking and reliable landmark pointing for flybys.
  • Excellent, responsive support with quick feature additions and replies.
  • Strong value and high quality; regarded as among the best apps; performs well on iPad.
Cons
  • Stability issues: crashes after updates and on some devices; app may crash or fail to open.
  • Device/OS compatibility problems: not working on older devices/OS versions; inconsistent functionality.
  • Occasional data/position updates not refreshing and compass/arrow misalignment affecting pointing.

This is the best app for finding the ISS, Tiangong, etc. So easy to find with the AR. Absolutely worth paying for. Wish I had found it sooner.

After learning about the Chinese rocket booster CZ-5B that has fallen into lower orbit and is anticipated to fall to earth on or around 5/9/2021, I emailed Shingo Hisakawa at 2:21 pm EST, 5/4/2021, to request that the developer would add tracking for CZ-5B to SpaceStation AR. To my amazement, I received an email at 3:06 pm EST the same day confirming the addition and thanking me for my email. I have no association with the author and I am not even on the same continent! Unbelievable awesome support. Thank you.
