Dave,

HamSatDroid is a fantastic program. I can't wait for the next version and will be more than happy to pay for this app.  Do you have a target date for the new version?

Take a look at hamsatdroid:

https://sites.google.com/site/hamsatdroid/

We've got some major improvements coming up for tablets.

Sorry to say that it will be a paid app with funds going to the amsat uk satellite building fund. Which has contributed to many of the projects worldwide.

The current free version can be found here:

In addition to the sat apps I would be interested in any Podcasts related to amateur radio.

Hi all

I'm changing cell phone carriers and I can choose either an Android phone or an iPhone as my next smartphone.

I haven't decided which phone yet, but I'd like to know which satellite-related apps other operators are using on both types of phones. Are there any apps for satellites other than for tracking? (I'm interested in tracking satellites too, of course).

So I'm looking for recommendations and ones to stay away from.  Any particular features to look for in these apps, or any bug-a-boos to avoid, especially when installing an app?

Reply to my email, N4HF@AMSAT.ORG, or to the BB (since others might be interested too), although I don't want to be "blamed" for starting one of those threads that seems to run on forever. :-)  If there are any websites which discuss satellite (tracking) software apps specific to smartphones, that would be great!

Thanks. Gracias. Merci. Danke. Efxaristo. Spasibo, Obrigado
