ISS Detector
Android app for tracking ISS and amateur radio satellites with real-time alerts.
Description
The ISS Detector Android application, with over 5 million downloads, offers precise predictions for visible passes of the International Space Station. It notifies users minutes before an overhead pass, integrating local weather conditions to ensure optimal viewing opportunities. The core functionality focuses on the ISS, but in-app purchases extend its capabilities to track other celestial and artificial objects.
Optional extensions, available via in-app purchase, allow users to monitor dozens of amateur radio and weather satellites, providing real-time transmitter information and Doppler frequencies. Additional extensions cover Starlink satellites, the Hubble Space Telescope, rocket stages, bright satellites, comets, and planets, expanding the scope beyond the ISS to a broader range of observable space phenomena.
The app's interface is designed for ease of use, displaying pass times, directions, and elevation. It adapts predictions based on the user's GPS location, ensuring accurate local forecasts. The latest update, dated April 3, 2026, includes corrections for magnitude values and various speed and stability optimizations.
