W1ANT Satellite Tracker
The Location view on the Satellite Overview page shows the current position of the satellite over Earth including the circle that demarcates the area where it is above 10 degrees above the horizon (reachable by radio). This view also shows its path for the next 60 minutes. Pinch to zoom and drag to change your point of view over Earth.
There is also a Passes view on the Overview page that lists all passes where this satellite will be over the horizon at the current location in the next 48 hours.
The minimum elevation for the starting list can be changed from its default 10 degrees in the Settings.

ads are super annoying but the app is the only one with all the essential information to work birds. i will be buying the full version. just a suggestion, could there be a way to link this app to something like pocketrxtx so clicking the satellite automatically sets your transceiver? it might be worth looking at rig control libraries.
Looks useful. More info than the other app I've been using. Would like a dark mode option as I often use my phone outside at night for sat tracking. I don't mind ads, but I hate Google's ads that put the silence button in a different place for each one. I use my phone for lullabies when holding a baby and it's aggravating when the gentle music stops and the happy active look at me advert blasts out of my phone and wakes the kid. Please request Google improve their ad options for your user.
Only thing I noticed is on Lilacsat-2 the frequencies fo FM up and downlink don't match the Amsat published frequencies. I believe the Amsat frequency is correct. I do like the actual up and down doppler shifted frequencies so you can check if your transmit and receive frequencies are correct. Developer corrected the frequency difference. Quick response. Use the app every pass.
I love this app, I have a mount on my camera tripod fot my arrow antenna, and the phone sits next to it. Would it be possible to have either rig control for doppler out the usb port, or even just a pulse every time the frequency changes by 5khz, that could be interfaced to the frequency down button on the h/t? Also, an output for an az/el tracker would be good, like the scarc tracker that fits on a camera tripod Cheers John de VK4JWT
Practically useless. No capacity to view satelite locations. Just gives static info downloaded from a website presumably. No interactive capability at all. The other reviews here are lies. Uninstalling
Great basic sat tracking app. The pro version could be a bit cheaper in price though. Somewhere in the range of 1.99 to 2.99 perhaps.
Looks like a great satellite tracking app but I don't see AO-27 listed as one of the choices. ***Updated review - The developer responded that AO-27 would be added to the list. Still a 5-star review. Thanks.
Great sat tracking app!! Easy to use, all the info that you need is at your finger tips! Excellent job, thank you.
Just started listening to the amateur satellites, and this is the app I use on my Android phone. I will be getting the paid version, because this app is terrific.
How about a dark mode? Some of us are out there at night looking for very dim things. ***Update*** Dark Mode added! Thank you!
No way to filter for FM only. No way to filter for desired satellites only.
Excellent , well worth getting the pro version. This is the only app I use for up coming passes .👍
It's very useful application. But the Adv is very annoying. How is the way to remove this adv?
I find it super useful
Excellent application thanks G0ATW
Edit: turns out that there is an ad-free version available. I've bought that now. I strongly recommend the paid version over this free one. Original review: Great application, but the many ads ruin it. The ads are full screen ads with video/audio and a lock-out timer forcing you to watch/listen for a set amount of time. I would gladly pay for an ad free experience because the application itself is really quite nice, but there's no option to do so.
