ISS Detector will help you to find out when and where to look for the International Space Station or Iridium flares. You get an alarm a few minutes before a pass. You will never miss a pass of the International Space Station and you will never miss the bright flashes of the iridium communication satellites. ISS Detector will also check if the weather conditions are right. A clear sky is perfect for spotting.
What I like about this app is that you can also set the alerts to alert only when the object of interest is above a minimum elevation in the sky. It not only alerts you before the time but has a radar view showing the direction (using the phone’s compass) and elevation as well as the duration of the pass.
The app can also alert you for planets, various other famous objects, and even amateur radio satellites. Speaking of which if you have a receiver that can tune into 145.800Mhz FM you may also hear the astronauts speaking to Earth stations.
