NICE - but crashes and needs more... suggestion...
Sky Safari+ is my fav astro app... Ive bought and deleted them all except 3 and this is my fav.
HAD TO GET SATELLITE SAFARI of course... though I have other good sat tracking programs. I still enjoyed this one upon my first trial... but a few things.
1. Crashes (several times) had to kill and restart... when in satellite view above earth - using time ... 10 seconds and then punch zooming in or out. (locked up and there was some flashes as if timer was ticking). Im sure theyll fix this.
2. I would like to see a green text overlay of SAT DATA like magnitude as it progresses (on all views). I was impressed that the sun actually lights the sat... from actual direction in sat view. But I hate hitting "INFO" and leaving my view to see magnitude though various stages of passage in my area. I would like to see that in the various views.
3. I was hoping that in satellite view - I could see other sats? maybe I think I have this option turned on. Like the Dragos(sp)? cargo sat... that travels with ISS can ISS be seen from it? or visa versa? I tried and couldnt see one from the other.
4. FIND MY LOCATION never works for me at home. I dont know why. So I MUST have a manually enter location option. Ipads do NOT have GPS. Also such a app should list "tonights best" sat passages and have alerts. I did find an alert page but didnt see anything listed or how to add a sat to the alerts page. I shouldnt have to select and set alerts... it should inform ME - not me it... by my settings like magnitude limit, how high above horizon etc. Then give an alarm prior (I did set a 2 minute alert) but nothing was listed. Views are stunning, but "tracking and usage needs work".
It should be a tool... not a media generator.
Im sure all these will be address in updates. Thanks!
Thanks for another great product, if reading this to decide to buy... Dont hesitate. Their astro apps are THE BEST available.
