I finally joined the 21st century and got a smartphone (Samsung with Android OS). Anyone want to recommend their "must-have" apps to put on this thing?
I looked at the list of available apps and figured I would just some folks who know about these things. That's you!
Thank you!

I don't have many, but here are the ones I use when I'm away from the base station and have cell coverage:
QRZDroid for QRZ lookups
NCDXF Beacon which shows the timing of their beacons to identify them.
Ham Radio Log a VERY simple logger when I can't find my pen in the dark.
Morse Trainer to practice head copy in the doctor's waiting room.

Try "ISS DETECTOR". Best satellite scheduling program I have encountered. Lots more than just ISS. For receiving with an RTL-SDR dongle and USB-to-go cable, "RF Analyzer" works well. (SDR Touch is another similar but I have not had nearly as good results)

Hello Steve,
On my Android Samsung Smartphone I use http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm
It's not an app, just a web page, will easily show, track and announce available Sats and frequencies, once started once will run even without Internet.
Wishing good luck with the birds.

In addition to ISS Tracker I really like heavens above. Made by the same people that made the heavens above website.

Steve,
Satellite tracking and pass prediction on Android devices.... go for AmsatDroid Free. Good app, and - like the name of the app says - free.
