User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Won’t load unless uninstalled
This app is great. Except that it only works when first installed. The next time you open the app it won’t load. I have to delete the app and reinstall it every single time I want to use it. There must be some sort of bug that needs to be fixed. if it wasn’t for that, I would give it a five star review.
★★★★★Great App to Follow the ISS
I’ve been using the free version of this app for several years. Very easy to use. I haven’t experienced any hiccups with ISS Detector. It lets me know when the ISS will pass over my area & where to find it. I watch it most nights when it’s visible. I’ve also seen the Chinese space station.
If you haven’t seen a ISS flyover before, it’s a humbling experience you won’t want to miss.
★★★★★Great app responsive developer!
Loved the app but couldn’t find my satellite in the catalogs. Asked the developer to add it and was done that day!
★★★★☆ISS Detector crashes unexpectedly.
Hey Derk, good morning!
I updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 18 yesterday.
ISS Detector opens just fine to the main screen, and I can access the settings menu and buy packs, but whenever I tap on one of the satellites on the main screen, it opens and then the app immediately crashes.
I've tried restarting my iPhone and even uninstalling and reinstalling ISS Detector, but the same issue keeps happening.
Unfortunately, I can't use the app after updating to iOS 18.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers!
★★★★★Stopped loading sats after last iPhone update
Great app but why does it keep forgetting all my satellites causing me to have to reinstall?
