The one thing I wish it would do is allow the selection of multiple satellites. I'd like list of all upcoming passes without having to select each one individually. Other than that, it's a great app 73 Rick Tejera K7TEJSaguaroAstro@cox.net623-203-4121

Tap on one of the passes, and it will bring up an Az / El compass showing the pass arc and where the bird is in real time. Aim your antenna as indicated, and off you go.

I've got AmsatDroid Free, and it's fine for seeing upcoming passes and has some other useful features, but it doesn't seem to provide real-time information on where to point my antenna during a pass. It provides AOS
azimuth, max el, and LOS azimuth, but nothing real-time, unless I'm missing something.
I'll check out the other suggestions.
Thanks.

AmsatDroid Free is probably the most-utilized app on my smartphone.
I like PocketSat3 also but it's more complex (many more features.)
It
does a lot more advanced things you'd expect out of a desktop application.
AmsatDroid Free handles my primary needs very well and therefore I
use
it regularly. It also is available at every radio amateur's favorite
price.
