The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.1 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is very light, less than a megabyte is sufficient to store and operate.

Positive review samsung galaxy Y by anonym
Nice application to enjoy worldwide Satellites in your Android cell phone screens. Only you need to operate this application is you need G.P.R.S DATA CONNECTION & GPS. 5/5
Positive review Which Will The Sun/Son Touch? by anonym
Great app to see 'em while they are still in orbit, and before they are touched by the Sun--or "Son." 5/5
Neutral review Needs a predictor for ISS passes and Iridium Flares. by anonym
Intersting app. But it needs a predictor of potentially visible events like ISS passes and iridium flares integrated into the app. 3/5
Positive review by anonym
Awesome! I have been looking for something like this ever since I started working at a spaceflight hardware company. Now I can find what I built! 5/5
Positive review Sky High by anonym
If you can touch & look up! It will work for you, if you have vision in one eye it works. It's so very simple. GALAXY S5 5/5
Positive review Working fine. Cool app. Seems the updates have worked by anonym
Working great. Cool app. Updates seem to have fixed previous complaints 5/5
Positive review Good app, does what it supposed to do! by anonym
Great app! I wish there was a way to track specific satellites to see the exact time of where they're going to be visible. Works great on Galaxy S2. 5/5
Negative review Failed to load menu by anonym
I have wifi connection but it fails to load satellite menus on my epic 4g touch. 1/5
Positive review Very informative by anonym
It is very detailed in design. User friendly! Highly recommend 5/5
Positive review by anonym
This app is awsome. Never knew there were so many satellites above at one time. 5/5
Negative review Horrible on the Asus Transformer by anonym
Gets about 5 GPS on this tablet. The screen is very lagged, most of the time you've gone right past where the sats are and see it jump right past your screen. Selection of objects is great, performance is horrible. ICS 4.0.3 1/5
Positive review Incomplete data? by anonym
I was watching the sky and saw satellites (?) that the app didn't show either in Potentially visible object or All active sets. Maybe UFOs. 4/5
Positive review Amazing app by anonym
I used this app for my job as a DirecTV technician to show ignorant customers to let them know there is no line of sight 5/5
Positive review Great and Fun by anonym
Works perfect, fast and smooth. Dang how many satellites are near US :> 5/5
Positive review Amazing app!! by anonym
I can't believe agi provided this app for free. It would be nice to be able to cache ephemeris so it can be used without an internet connection, but I'm not going to complain. 5/5
Neutral review Impressive but crashes at first. by anonym
Was impressed with the camera overlay. But it wouldn't load the all satellites. Change settings to GPS and loaded but crashed after 10 seconds or so. Continued loading with various options turned off and it seems to have stabilized. Now with all the bells and whistles going. This would have been very handy while installing DirecTV. Would give it five stars if the initial experience wasn't so buggy. The database, starmaps and camera options seem to have to fight it out for a while before they all work together. 3/5
Positive review Excellent! by anonym
Due to falling satellite, servers are obviously a bit slow but it does work if you persevere a little bit and it's pretty amazing. Thumbs up! (My device is HTC Desire) 5/5
Positive review Great app. by anonym
Sensors in my Galaxy s2 can sometimes be a little odd about changing orientation, but otherwise this is easy to use and very informative. 5/5
Positive review Works great! by anonym
It is app2sd compatible and does as advertised. That's 5 stars in my book, app2sd is only way I give them. A good app with out it will only get 4 otherwise. I loaded all sats and no issues, my droid is a Casio commando so... 5/5
Negative review Fault on playstore download by anonym
Help download stops at 30kb not 33kb that's needed so cannot download this app wtf please fix asap then i will adjust my review date 28th Jan 2015 see how quick i get help? 1/5
Positive review By far the best by anonym
I use this app almost daily for work. Most accurate one I found so far. 5/5
Positive review So very cool! by anonym
My wife and I live in Houston, so we don't get to see most of the small fry. But I always check on the ISS which looks like a fast-moving jet and very distinct shape with binoculars. This app pinpoints the time and location. Galaxy S3. 5/5
Positive review Holy cow! It's a junkyard up there. by anonym
My man, seriously? This is a GREAT app! It gives you choices of all kinds of satellites, counts down to when they're coming into range, shows their position in the sky, indicates whether they'll be visible and all sorts of other good stuff. Now, to be fair, some of the criticisms leveled at Satellite AR are deserved; it really would be a mighty fine function to track an individual 'bird' (apart from the ISS, which is featured) and to store the satellite data offline rather than having to download it every time. It is for reasons like this that I would award 4½ stars if possible. However for the price (exactly $0.00) you can't complain so 5 stars it is. I'm very pleased with this app. :-) Samsung Galaxy Note 717. 5/5
Negative review what a hunk of junk! by anonym
i close every other app running on my droid, i attempt to start this app, after 8 minutes it says error because it couldnt communicate with the server. meanwhile i have all bars and ability to make calls or use my gps. 0 STARS! or satellites! 1/5
Neutral review It works, but... by anonym
Needs to have Dish Network/Direct TV sats searchable by their names/numbers. Most do not know that DN is actually Echostar. Needs a catagory for just TV sats. Make search criteria saveable to a catagory so you don't have to type in the search everytime. 3/5
Negative review Unusable on GalaxyS6 by anonym
Application os great but due to high resolution on GalaxyS6 I'm not able to navigate this application. 1/5
Positive review Toptastic App by anonym
Download 5 min before the passing off the ISS. Great way to help you spot saterlights, with great links to additional information. And all for free :0D Defiantly no complaints here 5/5
Negative review Problem with tiny fonts Droid Turbo by anonym
The version I used on a Motorola Defy XT was great, and I gave it 5 stars! This version on a Droid Turbo has an unreadable menu due to teenie, tiny fonts. I hope it can be fixed, but I'm uninstalling now, since I can not use it effectively. I'll try out a future version. 2/5
Negative review Font too small by anonym
Can't read what is being displayed on the main screen. Unable to speak to how well it works because I can't tell what I just asked it to do. The screen is divided into three micro columns in portrait and four columns in landscape, not the single column shown in the app's screenshots. 1/5
Positive review Works Pretty Well, BUT.... by anonym
This app will continue to run in the background unless you kill it with your task manager. I made the mistake of not closing it the first day I used it, and it drained my battery from 95% to 30% in 90 minutes. An auto-terminate setting (after running in the background for X number of minutes, close program automatically) would be a great addition to this program. 4/5
Neutral review Not accurate by anonym
Needs improvements. It often is 45 degrees off and I have to relocate the dish. It needs a favs option and a camera pic option. 3/5
Positive review Good if not better than star4map by anonym
A good companion to star4map or space junk, only better for Sat tracking. Excellent app. Desire HD. 5/5
Neutral review Would Get 5 Stars by anonym
I would give this app 5 stars but on my sony erricson xperia arc on opening it says the camera cannot be initialised but this isn't a big problem, I'm not sure if i am looking in the right direction due to a constant message of compass calibration inaccurate!!! have followed there instructions and watched some you tube videos, can get other apps calibrated but not this one!!!! Possible Fix????? 3/5
Positive review Best tracker app... by anonym
But runs persistently until you manually kill the app.. other than that this is the best sat tracking app in the play store. Will bring score to 5 stars when fixed. 4/5
Positive review Amazing! by anonym
Not sure how useful it is for the average Joe like myself, but the app is pretty amazing. I love it. Just watch the geostatic orbit - you'd never believe we had so many satellites orbiting Earth. Taking into account it's a free app, one couldn't ask for more. 5/5
Positive review Unbelievable. by anonym
This app won't work until the UARS satellite burns up and hits earth. I cannot believe everybody doesn't know what's going on. 4/5
Positive review Fantastic App by anonym
Nothing could be better for viewing/locatiing ma-nmade space objects. Just select the type of object/satellite and the camera turns on with a grid overlay and a search direction arrow to steer you to your desired object. As long as you calibrated your compass and enabled GPS you are there! Works perfectly on Motorola Bravo. 5/5
Positive review does it's job, for free by anonym
there are payware apps doing the same. no need to try them as this one works perfectly 5/5
Negative review Now using a Sony Xperia, after not liking this app on my previous phone...still sucks.identifies nothing passing overhead...absolutely no accurate anything as far as I can tell by anonym
Thinking of uninstalling..doesn't seem to be accurate..I see a satellite passing over head but the app doesn't seem to know it's there..would be helpful if the app showed time when an object will be passing over..so far no visible object I see shows up in my screen. Wtf. 2/5
Positive review Eye in the Sky by anonym
There are literally thousands of satellites in the sky doing everything fom beaming TV and radio to monitoring weather. This app allows you to point your camera in the air to see where satellites are and whether they're visible to the naked eye. 4/5
