Perhaps trying http://amsat.org.ar/pass
You can click on ovals type of sats to reduce provided sats.

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.

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.73Rick Tejera (K7TEJ)Saguaro Astronomy ClubWww.saguaroastro.orgThunderbird Astronomy ClubWww.w7tbc.org -------- Original message --------From: "Bob Liddy (K8BL)" [email protected] Date: 3/17/21 20:00 (GMT-07:00) To: AMSAT BB [email protected], saguaroastro [email protected] Subject: [AMSAT-BB] Re: Android SAT Tracker Rick,First, I set my position from GPS data.Second, I set Hours Ahead to 24Third, I set Min Elevation to 15Fourth, I found each SAT I wanted and checked themLastly, I went to Passes and all the upcoming ones were there in chronological order for the next 24 hoursIt worked for me the first time I tried.GL/73, Bob K8BL

Bob, the developer responded. I thought i had done what he suggests, but apparantly not. Regardless, it's now working.Good day to you Rick!Basically, when you're done with the selection you just press the "Play" button, it saves your satellites selection and takes you to the passes screen while also calculating the passes for selected satellites. One thing to point out is that it calculates passes using the passes preferences like Hours Ahead and Minimal Elevation that you can change in Settings screen. Also the app preserves your selection on the TLE update, so you should not normally loose your selection in any case.I tend to update the app from time to time, roughly once a month, so please make sure you're using the latest version.Kind regards,Arty Bishop73Rick Tejera (K7TEJ)Saguaro Astronomy ClubWww.saguaroastro.orgThunderbird Astronomy ClubWww.w7tbc.org -------- Original message --------From: "Bob Liddy (K8BL)" [email protected] Date: 3/17/21 20:10 (GMT-07:00) To: AMSAT BB [email protected], saguaroastro [email protected] Subject: Re: [AMSAT-BB] Re: Android SAT Tracker Rick,First, I set my position from GPS data.Second, I set Hours Ahead to 24Third, I set Min Elevation to 15Fourth, I found each SAT I wanted and checked themLastly, I went to Passes and all the upcoming ones were there in chronological order for the next 24 hoursIt worked for me the first time I tried.GL/73, Bob K8BL

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.

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.
