When I added gpredict to the wiki I was aware it worked in Windows but the official site had no mention of it on their download page. At the time I think I searched for Gpredict and Windows and probably saw the Sourceforge page with Windows builds but I wasn't sure if it was official and I was in a rush to publish so I just left it in the Linux section and didn't do anything else.
I now see the official website mentions windows in the header. I will add it under Windows too but perhaps the Sourceforge link should be added to the official website's download page.

You didn’t specify a platform. For Windows, this little free download works well: http://f6dqm.free.fr/soft/satex/en/satexplorer.htm
For iPhone see: https://amsat-uk.org/2013/07/24/free-ham-radio-satellite-tracking-app-for-io...
