... out for iOS now. Android later this month. Discount for Sky Safari owners (at the moment).

I got this the other day and it is fantastic!

It'd be really nice of it could do push notifications for ISS transits nearby. No biggie, though. :)

SS have several suggestions for "improvements" for the next release. See their Y! group. Being able to get predictions for places other than "here" is one.

You can add yours H.

Cool! Thanks Doug, just installed it. :thumbsup:

I agree, that would be handy.;)

There just does not seem to be that many satellites listed.
From the search list I count about 150.
Is this most of the possible visual magnitude satellites?

Would be good to have the Iridiums and their flares.

There is an Android app for ISS detection called ISS Detector.
Does notifications for ISS, HST, and iridium flares.
Has extensions for comets/planets, amateur radio satellites, and more.

SatTrack, (aka Heavens Above), tracks several hundred sats & pushes notifications based on user preference, magnitude, altitude, TOD, etc. Free on android market, (indiscreet ad support or donation supported, well worth a buck or two, imho), believe also available for apple, but not positive. Small footprint w/configurable widget & audio notification if desired. I have used this for 5yr & luv it! :thumbsup:

Satellite Safari has just been updated.
They say about X10 more satellites listed.

Just got it now.

Looks great. I hope they add more detailed textures for the ISS though.

An update to SatelliteSafari came out this morning which now gives push notifications! :)
