Constant intermittent interruptions

I am having issues with constant interruptions with internet services. I do have a very small area of obstruction from a tree, but the signal interruptions are not consistent and some days are very disruptive for my working. I know my address is on the edge of a section when I checked into my Starlink availability zone.

Pretty good, could be better!

I like being able to see all the Starlink satellites in orbit and zoom in to see the ones in a particular area. I wish there was a 3d view from the ground like many star tracker apps so I could see about where I can look for them in the sky from where I am. The local search by GPS doesn’t do much since it just lists out times when a satellite will fly over but most of them are invisible to see without fancy equipment I don’t own. I wish that it was easier to figure out what satellites just launched based on the flight. Like, Falcon 9 block 5 Starlink 11 just launched a few days ago and I have no idea which satellite trains are the ones from that launch? I also want to be able to see the newly deployed trains in my night sky at my house or a family member’s, friend, etc... it would be great to have a better notification system to let me know when they are coming up and where to look to see them and know when they’ve passed so I don’t waste a bunch of time hoping to see them after they’ve already passed.

Too many ads and no accuracy

The ads are incredibly annoying and the app appears to have serious design flaws. For example, it shows visible passes during daylight hours and does not consider the position of the sun in determining passes. Light from the sun reflects off the satellites making them visible at night. Typically this is generally a couple of hours after sunset and a couple of hours before sunrise depending on the altitude of the satellites. This calculation should produce a light magnitude. If the magnitude is too low then the pass shouldn’t be displayed. A minimum magnitude setting could be added. Another problem is sightings below a certain altitude, given by angle. Satellites with a maximum angle of 12° above the horizon are not going to be seen, especially in a suburban environment. Candidly, I would reject anything below 30° max height. Perhaps a minimum angle setting would be helpful. Unfortunately, there is nothing here to entice me to buy an upgrade. It did not accurately show me a single visible pass. Other apps worked and proved accurate to show multiple viewings in one evening.

Be careful of free service!

I uploaded the App and went in to sign up. There are several options, but I wanted the free service, to try it out before paying. There were several things at the bottom of the page - like ‘Activate’, so I selected that. It required Email and credit card info (promising there would be no charges). Thinking I was in the Starlink App, I put that info in, only to be taken to ‘Flirty Meetings’ sign in page that I, apparently, signed up for. Now, I’m trying to cancel out of that. And I won’t pay for this Starlink service now, and plan to delete it, because I feel that was very deceptive to have links to other sites that were not identified on the icons. I understand needing to advertise for free services, but this was inappropriate. Too bad, because I typically try things out and end up paying. Not this time.

App not showing anything. Was using the free limited part for a couple weeks so decided to purchase the full version today and still nothing. I guess it will only show when in my area at night. But app does not tell you when it will be visible in my area. Unable to find a city or town in Utah to program in so I can see starlink. Not worth the money. Also won’t let you program your location manually. OK GOT IT FIGURED OUT!!! Upgraded to 5 stars. SORRY!!! After using this app for a couple of weeks I have determined it is crap and a ripoff. When you enter the digital coordainaets it does show the satellites but not the correct times and when you close the app the coordainaets disappear and it switches back to location services which shows your state but when you click go it does not show the satellites. WHAT A JOKE, rating goes back to one star. I have not seen any satellites using this app.

Awesome

I love this everyday I drop by and check to see if I can catch the sunrise. But what I love the most is the view. This inspires me to start to do more star gazing. I would like to say thank you to everyone that has made this possible. I one had a dream that one day man would be able to travel in the speed of light. In a glass tube. My friend who was studying to be a engineer. I told him about my dream and he explain to me that glass is made out of sand and that’s what your need to travel in the speed of light as well as other material or elements. Any ways I still believe that some day man will travel to other galaxies!!!

Complete scam. Do not waste your money.

I was going to leave it at the first section of my review, but after trying to email the company about the issues and getting hit repeatedly with the ‘cannot email’ message, I’m going to go ahead and kick that further down and say the company that made this app is a scam company and the fact that Apple allows them to do this is beyond ridiculous. Either, Apple is blissfully unaware, they don’t care that this company is running a scam in their system or they are in fact complicit in the scam and are getting paid to look the other way.I ended up paying for the membership. The ‘live Earth view’ isn’t anywhere to be found, the app continues to ask to be reviewed and it’s slower than I remember dial-up being. I’m surprised that they don’t have the obnoxious dial-up tone.

Not showing all Starlink.

I have seen the Starlink train that has a group of well over a hundred so I decided to make a lifetime purchase of this app so I can see this amazing phenomenon again. Tonight, I saw a train of satellites (much shorter and more grouped together,) but there was not anything in my area on this app. Are we paying to see ALL Starlink Satellites, or just a few? Are they classified? One thing I would like to have as a function is the ability to track particular satellites of our choosing and be notified of it's passing. I haven't been able to see this function anywhere except for the ones that may be visible in my area in the upcoming hours. Honestly, I regret my purchase because I am not seeing what is really up there, compared to a different app that does show me Starlink and more.

Location flaws!

First of all, the app doesn’t store my location, so when I start it up I have to find my location every time. I even have GPS turned on. Secondly, there are literally thousands of cities listed to choose from, but there is no alphabetical order to the list. You have to scroll and scroll for days and hope you find it. What’s the point anyway - when you close the app you lose your location. There needs to a search field to type the name of your city! And the app needs to remember your location when you close it! Also, it lists all passes and doesn’t tell you they’re not visible. It’s obvious that a 3am pass is not visible! I wish I could get a refund of my $35.

It’s time to go real full Speed live!

I’m currently using StarLink RV. So far it works great. As the highest priced service I would like to see RV StarLink no longer speed restricted. Also, please stop using FedEx for shipping, I’ve paid for items I have never received, but FedEx insists they delivered the package, I have 12 cameras on my office, in order for a package to be delivered a FedEx vehicle has to actually be on site at the time of delivery.

This app unapplicable

I would have thought this app would show things relevant to my location. However, it shows me way too many routes that are not even closely visible from my location. The one time that something appeared to go right over my location, there was nothing in the sky to be seen. I had multiple friends looking from multiple positions around town. I have yet to find this app useful, and I paid for it. Very disappointing since I really wanted to revisit and share the experience of witnessing the satellite train at least once more before the satellites begin to disperse.

Money, money, money…you get the idea

I was excited when I found this app and downloaded, but quickly disappointed when it was clear that the required weekly, monthly, or large $ one-time charge commitment before I even had a chance to try it first was expected. Yes, there is a tiny “bypass” link at the bottom of the commitment page, but it was inactive (shocking - not). The weekly payment begins with a very short “free trial” and then kicks in with taking your money. No, I’m not agreeing to pay weekly before I get a chance to evaluate the features. I immediately removed this app.

Worth It

I enjoy this app a lot. I wish there was more information about the satellites in the app, but still very interesting to track them. There is an odd bug I’ve encountered a few times where the app freezes when you select the ISS tracker, but other than that I love it. Worth the 1 time payment to get premium.

Mounting

I mounted my dish on my roof on a dormer. Good reception most of the time. We use it for emails and sometimes short films and also Wi-Fi calling as we are far drain the cell towers and road system. If we get a glitch between satellites your phone either hangs up or you can’t hear the other party but besides that I am thrilled. Any idiot can set it

The forest…

First, I live 32 miles back in the Salmon Challis national forest (only 2 of us out here have electricity)… I have tall pines surrounding my home so couldn’t find unobstructed view of the sky but was enough to get fast internet… This runs at least 10 times as fast as another satellite service I had, even with the obstructed view… Thank you!

Can’t find my current location on the selection list…no search capability provided, not organized by state, no way in the world to use this huge list that’s provided. Thought I’d be able to select visual times and reminders for the ISS, but that’s not offered. Only current location is offered. App needs tweaking and more functionality I think, and hope - since I paid the lifetime fee. Stupid me - Lol

When?

My lovely neighbor was fortunate enough to be selected as a beta tester and kind enough to share it with me....(we're dock/Pier neighbors on a lake), but still can't get my own even though I signed up over a year ago. It's so frustrating because it works wonderful. Please release it to us that are waiting....

Amazing

The first time my family and I saw the train we couldn’t believe what ours eyes was seeing. It was right over our house. We thought it was some type of UFO hahahahaha it was exciting and lots of fun. Can’t wait to see it again. We are just hoping that it is safe for everyone.

Way to many ads and bugs

I get spammed with ads constantly and when I say continue with limited version it keeps popping up or gives me the exact same ads over and over and it doesn't even tell you if there is going to be clouds when they are out the only reason I rated it above one star was because it does tell the time it will come most of the time if you can actually get in without the ad spam

Starlink internet satellite

We live in a remote mountain area in Georgia and have experienced horrible internet coverage and unable to stream and if it rains forget about it. Since having Starlink installed we have not had one interruption in signal and streaming content is first rate. We love our Starlink here in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Seems cool but always asking for feedback before you use the app!

Seems cool for the first two minutes, then the app consistently request feedback and ratings when I haven’t even had a chance to use the darn thing! That was not a good user experience and unfavorable first impression!

Tracking

Just began using the app today. I would like to be able to store locations. I found the coordinates of my new house in Prescott Az, USA but can’t save it and return to my current location in California without losing the coordinates. Also, I would like to see history...what just went by, so I could see which satellite I saw this morning before I had the app. The app only shows me what’s coming...not just went by. Thank you.

Doesn’t point you towards the Starlink so get out your compass and hope

Despite good visibility and a horizon >60 degrees they never show up, an improvement would be to have the app use the phone compass and gps and to direct you while pointing the phone at the sky where best to look. Prior to getting the app we saw Starlink come over our house very bright (it was amazing) so I bought the app to know where and when to look in the future but it never shows up where the app says is should

Great Tracker But...

I love this tracker and it is made for the perfect objects in the sky, The ISS and Starlink. But I wish you could track a few more times on basic than just one time every time I get on the app. Thank you and keep doing what you do best, making quality apps!!

Got charged 21 dollars instantly

I wanted to select the basic version of this app, and when asked to give permission to app to use my location I was charged 21 dollars for the premium version. I cannot find how to cancel it. I followed the instructions on the app and the email provided for support does not work. I received a email saying that email was not processed because email is not real. It is not showing in my subscriptions menu. Stay away and save yourself the trouble I am in.

Watch Out For The Last “Continue” Button

There are a couple of reason I’m rating this at one star. First, others have said this too. I’ve only been running this app for about five minutes, and already I have seen THREE ads and TWO nag popups asking how I’m enjoying the app. No, I can’t even use the app with these interruptions. Second, when you first setup the app, you hit a few continue buttons, but WATCH OUT! The last continue button has you purchasing the lifetime subscription to the app! I cancelled that purchase before I was charged, then noticed right above the continue button was a nondescript gray line of text that said continue with the free version. That’s dirty pool, if you ask me! I’m now going to remove this app from my device!

Locational reference

Regarding the problem of knowing which part of the sky one should anticipate the object flyover, I would like to make a suggestion. Putting the latitude and longitude coordinates makes it quite easy to watch the sky. Also, utilizing one’s compass app helps with any confusion about exactly where to find “x” degrees.

2 years ago, Gamenight hostess

See history?

I’d like a way to see which events I have scheduled in a single place, and a way to cancel those events that I either accidentally scheduled, or that I realize I really won’t be able to see. Haven’t caught any flyovers yet but will keep trying.

Like it, however would like a addition to app

I’d like to itemize each satellite, let’s say I want to watch 2110 when it come by my area. Then I can program my app when it would come by my area it would send me a alert so I could watch.

Not worth the money

Tried the free version and was not impressed. I decided to upgrade to the paid version and really not worth it. Worst upgrade I have paid for to date. I would ask for a refund if possible. App is slow and clunky and I would say is headed in the right direction but still needs work

1 year ago, CyborgUSMC

Still the worst app I’ve purchased.

2…Or has it been 3 years? This app has still not improved whatsoever. It is by far the biggest waste of money yet on an app. Still getting asked to review, so this is my update, years later. I’ve spent significantly less on other apps that work 100 times better for tracking satellites and the ISS, which to date, I have seen literally hundreds of times over the last several years.

Question

On the tech savvy scale I’m likely a 4 out of 10. This tech is interesting and fun. Is there a tutorial ? Have worked in electronics engineering in the past but this is beyond my ability to use with full functionality

Please help me!

I am trying to pay my bill and then cancel Starlink. I am told to log into my account, but where do I do that? Nothing comes up that allows me to put in my email address and password. And, I have tried to submit my payment as requested in an email sent to our address and it says Payment Failed. The card we charge to pay our bill is the card we have used to cover all payments related to Starlink.

Elon musk is a American treasure

I will always and forever spend my money with anything Elon Musk has a fingerprint on. He’s proven himself to be a patriot a freedom loving GOD fearing truth speaking treasure to America. For his part. My part will be my loyalty to space X Tesla Starlink and as soon as the Tesla phone is released I will throw my IPhone in the trash.

Ok but where is the support?

I bought the app. It’s nice but how do you enter in lat and long? I’m unable to add a negative for the longitude. Also, manually selecting a location, all the places are listed without knowing what state. App needs improvement to be more user friendly.

Space station

I absolutely love this and I am so amazed At actually seeing the space station fly right over our property. The only way I knew to look for it is the local news.

Not accurate for Starlink

I have input my exact coordinates 40 N., 105 W. and see the many starling tracks that the app predicts. However I have yet to actually see any satellites that match the predicted times from this app. I am using night vision goggles and can see very dim stars, so that is not the problem. I look where the app says the satellite train starts and at the correct time and wait and wait and wait and wait, and I have yet to see one satellite.

Please get coverage to the southern USA. Our broadband coverage is almost non existent. Our children are stuck with distance learning and we have no coverage in rural Arkansas. Please don’t let our kids get farther behind in school. Bring your next beta test to us.

Easier live access to the ISS. What is the most recent info on the Starliner. It shouldn’t be so hard to get an update. I love Sunny’s hair . I can’t wait for the successful trip back. By now, 4 weeks later, hopefully the thruster and helium issues are fixed. Get them home! Love Amy. I saved for space camp. Didn’t make it🚀🚀🛰️🛰️

Don’t Waste Your Money

I’ve had this app for about two months now (Paid) and have NEVER seen the sats at the times they indicate as good viewing times. I’m done with it. Many more web based apps for sighting opportunities much better. Buyer beware!

Won’t allow streaming audio

If I’m listening to streaming audio when I open this app, the app shut off the streaming audio. Checking the settings all I see is FAQ link and links to other apps this developer makes. Maybe there is a setting in there somewhere, but it’s not obvious.

Read my thought

And come down and finish them off. They’re trying to stress me and run emotions like it will effect my state of mind. Show them how we get down. And obliterate their molecules and atoms. All generators and capacitors on. Wait for my signal to kick their power out.

New app

Probably would have bought it BUT would have been nice to at least seeing it once with out having to sign up for a payment. We all know how that goes with a “trial” period.? You always forget then realize at some point way down the line you have been paying $$$ for something you don’t even use. Thats the reason for one star. It’s probably a 5 but not paying to find out :(
