Functionality to access Calendars is broken

I’m running the latest version on an iPhone 12 and iOS 17.0.2. The predictions are generally very reliable. However, the functionality for accessing Calendars has been broken for me for some time. There is no setting in the app’s Settings -> ISS Detector menu and there is no entry for ISS Detector in Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Calendars. The dev’s website lists no contact address so I don’t know what to do other than hope the dev sees this.

Stopped loading sats after last iPhone update

You guys are weird that it stopped loading the satellite list after the last iPhone update? Thanks for fixing so quick.

*UPDATED*. Not working after update.

Updated…. The developer is very responsive and has corrected the bug that was causing the problem!! Great app, I highly recommend The app will not load amateur radio satellite info after the most recent update.

Compass

The Compass has gone wonky

ISS

The app is great

ISS Detector

Simple, yet Awesome.

HAM Question

Love this app, well developed, feature rich. Highly recommend. But, how often is the HAM satellite info updated? I ask because I use some web based sites that list many additional HAM satellites that re not listed in this app. I would email developer directly but have no contact info…Thank you,

Tangible thrill

Well-designed effortlessly gives you a unexpected nightly thrill.. thank you

ISS Detector.

Great App. I love it. Use it all the time. I recommend this App to everyone.

Excellent except for the Earth camera

Excellent information but the Earth camera does not point towards the earth ..

App keeps closing

I love this app but it keeps closing. Very frustrating! Is there a fix for this?

Great App

Quick response from developer. Keep up the good work.

Iridium flare‘s?

Great App, the wife and I have been enjoying watching ISS and Hubble fly over. Any chance of adding iridium flares to the list?

Best app out there for ISS

I used this app and its paid extensions when I had Android, and I am soooo glad it’s now on iPhone. There is something reassuring about seeing the ISS fly over that gives you hope for the future of humankind.

I love this app

I loved the s app. Helped me to spot the station in a second whole o was confused which direction to look at.

Accurate

Very accurate and precise about location and timing. Used it for awhile. Made it a nightly thing to watch the ISS or other satellites

Do Not Disturb?

Please add a do-not-disturb feature! Many passes happen early in the morning. I’ve had to keep notifications for this app turned off because of this. Otherwise this is hands down the best satellite tracker available!

Ham radio satellites

Hi, I purchased the combo package but can’t seem to see any information on other satellites. This only shows the ISS passes. How can I see the rest of them?

Needs fun fact area

As a person who has random info all the time I want some space fun facts to add to the mix

Works great when it works

I use it to track amateur radio satellites. I would give it 5 stars but sometimes it won’t load.

It crashes!

It was working fine until a few days ago. Suddenly started to have issues I reset my phone an it worked, now won’t even get my location. I like this app a lot but now really needs to be fixed.

Buddy

I have used this app for years. Pro is worth it! I was a bit disappointed that I had to pay for this all over after I switched from an Android to an apple phone. What gives? Still love this app!
