About this app

For anyone who has ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered about the mysteries of the universe, witnessing the ISS pass overhead can be an awe-inspiring moment. The Spot the Station mobile app is designed to notify users when the International Space Station (ISS) is visible overhead from their location. It aims to broaden access and awareness of the ISS and NASA globally, by providing users with an opportunity to experience the wonder of the ISS firsthand. The realization that there are human beings living and working in that tiny dot, orbiting the Earth at a mind-boggling speed of 17,500 miles per hour, is breathtaking. The app includes several helpful features including: 1. 2D & 3D real-time location views of the ISS 2. Upcoming Sighting Lists with visibility data 3. Augmented Reality (AR) view with compass and trajectory lines embedded into the camera view 4. Up-to-date NASA ISS Resources & Blog 5. Privacy Settings 6. Push Notifications when the ISS is approaching your location

App functions well but does cause an erroneous error message with Norton antivirus. The air is a security setting in Norton and does not affect the running of the app. The app runs fine.

everything about this app is wonderful, except the notifications. the past couple days, I would get a notification several minutes after the ISS passes, despite setting it to notify me 15 minutes before.

A really great app by NASA for spotting the ISS. Didn't really expect that NASA that would make an app to spot the ISS. The app is really good in itself. It has a really great UI and it is ad-free unlike most of the other space station spotting apps which have a lot of ads. It doesn't really have much issues but sometimes I have trouble in clicking the next sightings list button. It just doesn't respond. Hope NASA fixes the bug. Otherwise a really great app. Good job NASA.
