Hi Michael,
Yes indeed, you did right, glad is working for you.
Another alternative will be start using your locator as in following link:

Nice to know that in IOS pass is also working.
I did as you, velcroed smartphone to arrow.... :)
Wishing nice and rewarding contacts with the birds.

Pedro,
It does work when I embedded my lat/lon into the URL like below. Is that what you meant? http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm?localat=28.53&localon=-81.36

Hello Michael,
Thanks for trying on IOS.
There is a known issue on iPads, that could also be solved (I think) on IOS.
Please try starting pass, setting your latitude & longitude, perhaps it will solve, start with:
http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm?localat=41.5&localon=-90.2
(Use whatever lat/lon values for your place)
Please advice. Good Luck !!

Pedro, the site below doesn't work properly on IOS devices. You can't set your location. Might be OK for Android.

Mike,
Shows in real time where to point antenna, mode to use and uplink/downlink frequencies Doppler corrected.
Works on any portable device, both online and/or offline.
No need to setup Keps, should take your location automatically.
Good luck with the birds !

Can anyone recommend a satellite app for Android phones? Preferably something that shows where the satellite is above the horizon.
SkEye looks promising. I think that if I Velcroed my phone to the boom of my Arrow antenna, the app would give me realtime feedback of where to
point
the antenna. People use the app for pointing telescopes. That would be greater precision than what I need.
The SkEye website says almost nothing about satellite tracking. From
what I
can discern this function only exists in the paid version. ($6)
(This is the third time that I have tried to send this message. Maybe if
I
put my callsign in, it will be accepted)
