Did you know that several times every day a space craft the size of a football field passes overhead at over 17,000mph?

…and that it’s easily seen with your own eyes with no special equipment?

…and that Sat Seeker will show you exactly when you can see it and will notify you of passes precisely for you and your location?

If you didn’t know about one or more of the above what are you waiting for?! The International Space Station is the largest man made satellite ever built and it can regularly be easily seen from your home! All you need are cloudless skies when a visible pass occurs and Sat Seeker to show you when and where to look.

Keeping track of when the space station is visible isn’t practical to do manually. Throughout the year for most inhabited areas of earth there will be periods of a week or two when the space station will be visible daily. In between these visible ‘runs’ there can be a break of visible passes for a period of several weeks. You don’t want to have to manually monitor when passes are due to occur next so Sat Seeker calculates precise pass details based on your location and then notifies you automatically. Shortly before an upcoming pass Sat Seeker displays a notification so you will never miss a visible pass if you fail to check upcoming pass times.

When youve witnessed a visible pass of the ISS its an experience you will want to repeat again and again. Don’t waste any time. Get the app now and see when the next pass is happening where you are. It could be this evening

Can I see it?
——————
Most people will have no problems seeing the ISS when it makes a visible pass with nothing more than the naked eye. Youre looking for a bright object that looks just like a very bright star moving steadily across the sky. Sat Seeker gives a clear indication of which passes are visible. Be patient, due to changes in the earth’s position and the ISS orbit sometimes your location wont have a visible pass for a week or two but they will come back around.

Features
—————
* Automatic notifications of passes as they are about to begin
* Current ISS position and orbital path overlaid on world map
* Precise pass timings for your location
* Precise details of ISS positioning throughout each pass including when the visible portion begins and ends
* Augmented reality view for each pass. Tap the camera button on the pass details screen to load the AR view. Point the phone towards to horizon to see the ISS position and path overlaid over the camera view

Are you still reading? If you’ve made it this far then maybe you still have doubts…would it help if I said that on rare occasions you can also see ISS passes followed shortly by visiting spacecraft such as the the SpaceX Dragon? Visible occurrences of these passes are much rarer but we try to announce these on our social media channels. Follow/like us there too!

Pros and cons of Sat Seeker ISS Tracker app for iPhone and iPad

Sat Seeker ISS Tracker app good for

I have tried numerous programs to view the space station and this is the best. It isnt a program to see the stars or planets, it is to see the ISS fly across the sky. Notifications can be set to let you know when a pass is happening. Ive seen the ISS fly over hundreds of times and I still get excited each time.
I would give this app 5 stars, I would. But I have a funny suggestion for the developer... - When the notification of a fly by alerts the user it makes a jet noise or fly-by noise. The space station is in space.. So it would not be making that noise! Hahah other than that, awesome app.
When the app is opened and the push notification is tapped to set up, it says "push notifications failed to load. Check network connections" Ive tried doing this over cell data and wifi. And yes, my location is on and the app has permissions to use it.
Would like to have a landscape Mode. Interface is sometimes not Self explaining. But over all still good.
Very nice app on the IPad deserves all 5 stars. Runs faster and a lot smoother. Thanks!

Some bad moments

The app has some promise but falls way short. Very oversimplified. Once you drop a pin there seems to be no way to pick it up even if it was dropped in error.
This APP works great. I watched the ISS fly by just standing in my back yard! This APP was well thought out. The Watch Pass function is Genius!
Saw the ISS over CA while being nearly at the MS River. Pretty cool app.
The instructions (or lack of) leave a bit to be desired... But once you figure it out it works great! My son and I saw the ISS for the first time over NE Ohio tonight... Pretty cool!
There are a lot of other apps that do a better job in general. I couldnt find a way to turn push notifications off and the setting that allows me to limit push notifications to only visible passes doesnt work. I get notifications several times a day.
Without doubt... This is the most technology packed app for $2 anywhere. Works perfectly... I was able to locate the space station in just a minute. It showed up like magic just where the app said it would be. Well done!!!!
