Cant download flares, mismatched tag. Waste of money. Could be a gt app.

Nice app but won't update database through mobile data network. Has to be WiFi, which isn't practical when out observing.

A rather disappointing app that has a nice map feature but refuses to include iss or other satellite passes.

I have a new hobby. Might there be a widget some day?

"Iridium flare forecast" is free AND displays ISS fly bys. Why cant this one? Good app tho as it can "alarm" you of flares

Nexus one Froyo. I only wish the alarms could trigger a calendar item instead.

Mapmaker: you of all people should know that that is NOT a map of where the flare will be, it shows the path that the reflection takes. Your own fault

Allot of force closes on Incredible when gps is off. Map of flare showed east of my location tonight AX was west. I missed it. A -7.

Works great on the HTC Incredible. I love the alarm feature.
