Re: [amsat-bb] Recommended satellite tracking app for Android?

11 Aug 2015


      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

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.
