You can use Satellite Safari to learn more about the International Space Station and many hundreds of other satellites already in orbit. Satellite Safari will tell you where to find them in the sky, when they'll pass overhead, and where they are orbiting over Earth right now.
Satellite Safari can show you the spacecraft that will pass over your location at any given time. You can even get a "bird's eye view" from a satellite itself, and see the Earth from orbit exactly as the satellite sees it!
Satellite Safari updates its satellite orbit data from celestrak.com automatically every day. All satellites include facts and figures computed for your precise GPS location, and updated every second. Many satellites also include descriptions that give you the mission's history, purpose, and more.
Satellite Safari's simple user interface and super high accuracy make it an invaluable tool for exploring the spacecraft in orbit around our home planet. Please feel free to contact us at www.southernstars.com if you have further questions. We hope you enjoy using Satellite Safari!

You should have taken better care of your existing SkySafari customers when selling to Simulation Curriculum! Really bogus! You should be ashamed! I'm sure this app is abandoned as well, or you sold it to someone else who will charge us all over again. Do not support this greedy dev!
Paid for this and the app refuses to let me download additional data files. This keeps failing. It suggests I get the data from the southern stars website. I cannot find anything there that even indicates it's a data file. I hope you enjoyed taking my money. Never again.
Have had this since it first came out. Last update caused problems on my tablet and others reported same. Tonight after redownlod it seems to be working again. Also checked satellite info and that is OK. Make sure you update satellite info after you install new update.
At all. Fails immediately on starting. 2nd generation Nexus 7. I'd like it to work. Failing that I should get a refund.
Don't buy products from this developer, they will stop supporting buggy product and try to make you buy a new version to get fixes.
The best astronomy app ever. Love it and worth the money. It's miles better than any other android app and the only astronomy app you need.
Satellite safari - This is my new Favorite APP! Still new, but it seems to work great! It has lots of features and information.
I like this app. But the side of the globe in the shadows seems far too dark to see anything. Or am I doing something wrong ?
Brilliant application. Ideal for satellite spotting and of course getting the times of ISS passes.10/10
The search for name function is too weak. I searched for "hubble", "chandra", "vela" and "dsp", and got nothing. I had to search for "hst" and "cxo"; and I am sure the Vela satelites still are up there. So this function can be improved.
Looks amazing on my tablet... super cool to see how many satellites there are and every which way they orbit us!! Awesome app!
Keep crashing on LG G3 and not detecting internet connection.
Another excellent app from the folks who brought us Sky Safari.
The fact you can just tap on a dot and find out a lot of information like height above or below the horizon and it also shows you a picture and a description of the satellite including launch date and launch site.
Awesome stuff, 10 minutes and I've seen my 1st satellite
A perfect app. Can't think of any improvements.
Yet the most comprehensive tool of its kind I've ever seen for android
I love the app but suddenly it gives me license verification failed and closes all the time... I can't use it anymore! Buyer beware!
Unable to use always crashed in opening
Picked up a sat with my 2M handheld first time out!
If your into little dots of light crossing the sky this is it
Makes it very easy to point my handheld antenna at amateur satellites, during portable operations.
I have to agree with the people criticizing the Dev. The apps are really good, but they charge a lot and release upgrades as "new" apps so you have to pay full price again. They blame Apple, but they're working Apple's policy for their benefit. I haven't seen any other app that does this, and these guys charge a lot to start with.
