User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's realistic satellite tracking, accurate data, and attractive 3D graphics. It is praised for its simplicity and minimal clutter. However, multiple users report that the app crashes or won't open on newer Android devices. Common complaints focus on limited information about satellites, difficulty in identifying objects without labels, no search function, and UI issues like unsorted lists. Users also wish for more customization, explanations of satellite terminology, and a better menu system. Despite these cons, many find it useful and visually impressive for satellite tracking.

Cons

Missing features like search capabilities, adjustable rotation sensitivity, and ability to add custom TLE data URLs.
