Re: [amsat-bb] best android sat program?
I use two:
AmsatDroid Free ISS Detector Pro
The AmsatDroidFree is free, but the satellites are listed in order by age and it's a little cumbersome to find the one you want. You can look at only one sat at a time and the prediction only goes out 24 hours ahead. But, it's free.
ISS Detector Pro. The base version only tracks the ISS, so you need to pay a little bit for the add-ons, which include all the ham sats. You can customize a list of your favorite sats and see which ones are coming, in date/time order. Very nice app.

I switched to ISS Detector a few years ago and rarely use anything else. Beware that the pass calculation is done in the cloud, so if you are going off grid you may want to get another app.
