Exactly what I did. I've seen instances where an app has an issue with a specific phone. Had SOTA app that just couldn't get the filters to work. Spent 2 days emailing back and forth with the developer ( who was very helpful and responsive) to no avail. He did offer to refund me. Given the time he spent with i declined as a way of saying thanks. Lo and behold. When I got a new phone, everything worked. I suspect this is a similar issue. I'll let the group know what the developer says for anyone else experiencing the same issue.

Rick,

First, I set my position from GPS data.
Second, I set Hours Ahead to 24
Third, I set Min Elevation to 15
Fourth, I found each SAT I wanted and checked them
Lastly, I went to Passes and all the upcoming ones were there
   in chronological order for the next 24 hours

It worked for me the first time I tried.

Bob,

I tried both ways, it only save Ao-27 and AO-73, everything else did not save. I guess I'll see what the developer says

Hi Rick,

Either scroll down the list of SATs and check the ones
you want. Or, search each SAT and check it when it
comes up. It stores the ones you check until you
uncheck it.

Bob, I downloaded it and so far, not overly impressed. Spent 20 minutes selecting the satellites I want to track, the move to the tracking screen to find my selections have not been save. No help file. I've tried at least three times with the same result. I did email the developer, so hopefully. He will respond and clue me in. If I can't get it to hold my selections, I'll delete it. 

If you've figured it out. Please point me in the correct direction.

I've been happy using AMSATDROID-Free for several years. My only
complaint has been needing to scroll through a long list of SATs that
are meaningless to me to find the one I want. 

But, I just discovered a new one (to me) that has many features that are
much more useful and easier to operate with a better display. The listing
of upcoming SAT passes is very much like WinAOS. The AOS time
countdown and the view of the moving realtime footprint is very helpful.

There is a seemingly endless list of SATs that can be selected, but you can
choose ONLY the ones you are interested in and they will be the only ones
tracked and displayed just like WinAOS.

It is going to be the SAT App that I'll be using on my phone from now on!!

P.S.  It's free, but there is a way to show your appreciation.
