mobile app to track satellites

Post by ethanemiles » Wed Feb 15, 2023 1:53 pm

What is the best mobile app for Android or any website to track satellites that are visible with unaided eyes.

I would like see alert before a satellite will appear in the night sky and info where to look for it (based on my location).

It would be good if app worked well on the latest version of Android.

I use SkyView. SkyView is a popular mobile app for both iOS and Android that can help you identify and track satellites. It uses your device's camera and GPS to show you the location of objects in the sky, including satellites. You can even set up alerts for when specific satellites are passing overhead.

This is a good shout. Any idea if it's available in the UK? Thanks!
