Description
Have you seen the International Space Station? It is visible with the naked eye!ISS Detector is the must have app for every one who likes astronomy.
ISS Detector will tell you when and where to look for the International Space Station or Iridium flares. You get an alarm a few minutes before a pass. You will never miss a pass of the International Space Station and you will never miss the bright flashes of the iridium communication satellites. ISS Detector will also check if the weather conditions are right. A clear sky is perfect for spotting.
Extensions will enhance the functionality of ISS Detector. With an in-app purchase you can add comets and planets, amateur radio satellites and famous objects, like the Hubble space telescope or the Chinese space station Tiangong.

The best I've seen yet. Just an "A1" app. Very well put together. Also very much on time. Congrats to all who picked this one.

ISS Detector The addition of an auto-nag at exit of the app is too annoying. I've given up and uninstalled it.

Great App but... I really like this app but the latezt update means that in portrate elevation I cannot scrole between the list and a specific event on another screen. Text runs into other text and in unreadable on one screen. Please change back to two screen view!

Samsung SGS 2 Great app, gives all the info you need to find the ISS or other satellites - and it gives pictures too (really good for the likes of me!!) for direction, etc. Can also add events to my online calendar so I can get the camera ready!!

Very Useful Not only does this app alert you to passes of the ISS, it also tells you when you can see Iridium Flares. I have this displayed on my home screen as a widget. Recommended for all sky watchers.

Fantastic app Makes it almost impossible to miss a sighting. The reminder feature is nice so you don't forget to go out and look. 5 stars when the share via messaging is fixed. Would be nice if the compass could be fine tuned in 1 degree in increments.
