Hi Bob,
Our government is strongly advising people to use their Covid-19 Tracking app so I considered this a good excuse to upgrade my old (non smart) phone to a cheap Android model.
I have also downloaded several tracking apps.
Heavens-above works well but the ads annoy me and I didn't like the interface.
Amsatdroid-free works OK also but I didn't find it easy to use.
I like Look4sat. Setting the location was easy as was checking the sats I wanted.
The maps are a bit confusing but you can find where the sats you want are.
The OS is Android 8 Go Edition.

73,
Terry Osborne ZL2BAC

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.
