It used to be the best (5 Star ) but now it won't download flares. Please fix it soon.

This is the first time I have ever had a problem with this brilliant app. Please fix asap :-(

Data fetched is accurate and it shows a lists of upcoming flares that is easy to look at. The minimal GUI makes it a very light weight app and hence minimal memory usage. Please keep it that way!

It's an easy way to access Heavens Above from my phone. It's a simple app but I can't really think of any features I'd want added. I frequently use it to check for passes during my lunch break (second shift). I would recommend it for anyone wanting to check satellite passes while away from home.

One of the only free apps for Iridium Flares. Only draw back is ads aren't in night vision.

A. G. u. Dec 14, 2012

i used to get the flares even though passes always get stuck at downloading window, after the latest update nothing works.

For the last 24 hours Iridium flares appear to have broken. I think perhaps HeavensAbove have changed the page? In any case I get a blank list. I have tried deleting app data, uninstalling the app, installing an older version and upgrading again. No joy. Real pity. I love this app! Fix soon please.

Awesome and accurate!!

If I could have gave it more stars I would have. Its awonderful thing when an app works the way they say its suppose to. The night I downloaded this it said there would be a flare that night. I went out before the time they said it would happen. Then just at that time right where they said there it was. A bright flash then dimmed and tracked away.

Nice app, but time zone is off by one hour. Settings say -7 for Arizona and for Mountain, but it actually sets it one hour off. Confirmed this error with the correct times on the heavens-above web site.

i'd like to see a small compass that shows the flares/iss direction. that would make it 5*.

Along with another space app I have, this helps me predict that right moment to pause the tv and run outside... or to wake up extra early to run out with the dog to see the ISS... I heart this app!

A. G. u. Sep 1, 2011

I love this app! My son loves to give a countdown...5, 4, 3, 2, 1... then a flare appears in the sky exactly where the program says.
