Not bad but could be much better Minimal celestial depiction and nomenclature. ISS pass data never seems to show up in the sightings log. I go to the NASA GSFC website for their satellite pass data which is detailed and accurate. Space Junk Pro should be a free app due to its deficiencies. Having said that it's still OK for the enthusiast. FYI: The Google Star Map is more detailed.

Awesom Full featured and a developer that stays on top of things with timely updates. If you have direction problems calibrate your phone's compass instead of blaming the app.

Great app. Saw hubble i think.... pulled out my sensation and sure enough it was hubble. and it works great on landscape mode too! i jus need to fully explore more apps that will show the azimuth and inclination as well..1 with a learning tool. Great app, well worth the money. Space junk lite is a great starter app ! jus saw a SL-16R/B float over my head..

Highly recommended This is a great app. Better than the Google Sky Map and the satellite info is fascinating. Developer was really helpful when I had a problem too. Works perfectly on my HTC Sensation XE running ICS
