This simulates a way of satellite on top of reality through the camera and map.
Not only satellites, planets, fixed stars, galaxies, black hole, spacecrafts (Voyager1, Voyager2, New Horizons, Starman etc.), tweets and even world cities are shown as if earth was transparent.
Displaying geostationary orbits will also be very helpful when you adjust a parabolic dish antenna.
It connects Twitter too. So you can share excitements of finding satellites and weather conditions with others all over the world.
Apple Watch app and "Today" widget are also available. They show simple lists of satellites' passes.
LITE version has some restrictions. AR prediction stops 30 minutes before the passes.
Full version without Ads and with the sky chat view is available on the store.
