Mike,I have an Android tablet and use both ISS Detector and Amsat Droid Free. For ISS Detector you need to purchase the addon options. For tracking satellites other than ISS and astronomical addon it is under $3. I prefer ISS Detector between the two but they both work great. 73, Scott, KA7FVV President - KBARA www.kbara.org Co-Owner 443.525 System Fusion Repeater http://www.ka7fvv.net

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)
