Staslink: Satellites Tracker Reviews

I like being able to see all the Starlink satellites in orbit and zoom in to see the ones in a particular area. I wish there was a 3d view from the ground like many star tracker apps so I could see about where I can look for them in the sky from where I am. The local search by GPS doesn’t do much since it just lists out times when a satellite will fly over but most of them are invisible to see without fancy equipment I don’t own.

I wish that it was easier to figure out what satellites just launched based on the flight. Like, Falcon 9 block 5 Starlink 11 just launched a few days ago and I have no idea which satellite trains are the ones from that launch?

I also want to be able to see the newly deployed trains in my night sky at my house or a family member’s, friend, etc... it would be great to have a better notification system to let me know when they are coming up and where to look to see them and know when they’ve passed so I don’t waste a bunch of time hoping to see them after they’ve already passed.

The ads are incredibly annoying and Staslink appears to have serious design flaws. For example, it shows visible passes during daylight hours and does not consider the position of the sun in determining passes. Light from the sun reflects off the satellites making them visible at night. Typically this is generally a couple of hours after sunset and a couple of hours before sunrise depending on the altitude of the satellites. This calculation should produce a light magnitude. If the magnitude is too low then the pass shouldn’t be displayed. A minimum magnitude setting could be added. Another problem is sightings below a certain altitude, given by angle. Satellites with a maximum angle of 12° above the horizon are not going to be seen, especially in a suburban environment. Candidly, I would reject anything below 30° max height. Perhaps a minimum angle setting would be helpful. Unfortunately, there is nothing here to entice me to buy an upgrade. It did not accurately show me a single visible pass. Other apps worked and proved accurate to show multiple viewings in one evening.

App not showing anything. Was using the free limited part for a couple weeks so decided to purchase the full version today and still nothing. I guess it will only show when in my area at night. But app does not tell you when it will be visible in my area. Unable to find a city or town in Utah to program in so I can see starlink. Not worth the money. Also won’t let you program your location manually. OK GOT IT FIGURED OUT!!! Upgraded to 5 stars. SORRY!!! After using Staslink for a couple of weeks I have determined it is crap and a ripoff. When you enter the digital coordainaets it does show the satellites but not the correct times and when you close Staslink the coordainaets disappear and it switches back to location services which shows your state but when you click go it does not show the satellites. WHAT A JOKE, rating goes back to one star. I have not seen any satellites using Staslink.

I have seen the Starlink train that has a group of well over a hundred so I decided to make a lifetime purchase of Staslink so I can see this amazing phenomenon again. Tonight, I saw a train of satellites (much shorter and more grouped together,) but there was not anything in my area on Staslink. Are we paying to see ALL Starlink Satellites, or just a few? Are they classified?

One thing I would like to have as a function is the ability to track particular satellites of our choosing and be notified of it's passing. I haven't been able to see this function anywhere except for the ones that may be visible in my area in the upcoming hours.

Honestly, I regret my purchase because I am not seeing what is really up there, compared to a different app that does show me Starlink and more.

Not even 5 minutes after purchasing Staslink and I have several pop ups asking for my thoughts on Staslink and itunes app store asking for a rating/review.

No, I am not enjoying Staslink because I am unable to use it because I’m being asked repeatedly for a rating/review/thoughts.

Weeks later: Waste of money. Initial reaction is the same but they did stop asking for a review. Choosing other locations is difficult and/or very inconvenient. The display text is black on dark grey. There is no access to settings so they show all passes. Yes, all. Daytime passes. That you cannot see. It does not adjust for other timezones. There are free, cheaper, easier to use, easier to read and manage apps out there for tracking satellites. If you are not moving, traveling, or looking for visible passes of Starlink satellites and just want to know if they are in line-of-sight, this is Staslink . Otherwise, save your time and money.

Later yet. June 6. Tried again, still being asked for thoughts/rating. Ok. Still do not like it at all.

I would have thought Staslink would show things relevant to my location. However, it shows me way too many routes that are not even closely visible from my location. The one time that something appeared to go right over my location, there was nothing in the sky to be seen. I had multiple friends looking from multiple positions around town. I have yet to find Staslink useful, and I paid for it. Very disappointing since I really wanted to revisit and share the experience of witnessing the satellite train at least once more before the satellites begin to disperse.

I enjoy Staslink a lot. I wish there was more information about the satellites in Staslink , but still very interesting to track them. There is an odd bug I’ve encountered a few times where Staslink freezes when you select the ISS tracker, but other than that I love it. Worth the 1 time payment to get premium.

First, I live 32 miles back in the Salmon Challis national forest (only 2 of us out here have electricity)… I have tall pines surrounding my home so couldn’t find unobstructed view of the sky but was enough to get fast internet… This runs at least 10 times as fast as another satellite service I had, even with the obstructed view… Thank you!

Just began using Staslink today. I would like to be able to store locations. I found the coordinates of my new house in Prescott Az, USA but can’t save it and return to my current location in California without losing the coordinates.

Also, I would like to see history...what just went by, so I could see which satellite I saw this morning before I had Staslink . Staslink only shows me what’s coming...not just went by.

Thank you.

My lovely neighbor was fortunate enough to be selected as a beta tester and kind enough to share it with me....(we're dock/Pier neighbors on a lake), but still can't get my own even though I signed up over a year ago. It's so frustrating because it works wonderful. Please release it to us that are waiting....

I get spammed with ads constantly and when I say continue with limited version it keeps popping up or gives me the exact same ads over and over and it doesn't even tell you if there is going to be clouds when they are out the only reason I rated it above one star was because it does tell the time it will come most of the time if you can actually get in without the ad spam

Great idea, but it’s time to get going. I signed up and paid my $99 bata testing fee almost two years ago and heard nothing. I’m in northeast Georgia where there is nothing other than super slow DSL (6 Mbps) and need high speed Internet. Let’s at least give it a try down here!

Despite good visibility and a horizon >60 degrees they never show up, an improvement would be to have Staslink use the phone compass and gps and to direct you while pointing the phone at the sky where best to look. Prior to getting Staslink we saw Starlink come over our house very bright (it was amazing) so I bought Staslink to know where and when to look in the future but it never shows up where Staslink says is should

I love this tracker and it is made for the perfect objects in the sky, The ISS and Starlink. But I wish you could track a few more times on basic than just one time every time I get on Staslink . Thank you and keep doing what you do best, making quality apps!!

I bought Staslink . It’s nice but how do you enter in lat and long? I’m unable to add a negative for the longitude. Also, manually selecting a location, all the places are listed without knowing what state. App needs improvement to be more user friendly.

I wanted to select the basic version of Staslink, and when asked to give permission to app to use my location I was charged 21 dollars for the premium version. I cannot find how to cancel it. I followed the instructions on Staslink and the email provided for support does not work. I received a email saying that email was not processed because email is not real. It is not showing in my subscriptions menu. Stay away and save yourself the trouble I am in.

Regarding the problem of knowing which part of the sky one should anticipate the object flyover, I would like to make a suggestion.
Putting the latitude and longitude coordinates makes it quite easy to watch the sky. Also, utilizing one’s compass app helps with any confusion about exactly where to find “x” degrees.

For those that aren’t real knowledgeable what they’re looking at more details can be used but they definitely show you where everything is

I’d like to itemize each satellite, let’s say I want to watch 2110 when it come by my area. Then I can program my app when it would come by my area it would send me a alert so I could watch.

Please get coverage to the southern USA. Our broadband coverage is almost non existent. Our children are stuck with distance learning and we have no coverage in rural Arkansas. Please don’t let our kids get farther behind in school. Bring your next beta test to us.

Trying to understand why I should buy a subscription when there are free options...
what makes this better than the others for a relative novelty of viewing the arrays occasionally?
Pocket universe and other much more developed and expansive apps are free. Hmmm.

Starlink tracker?? More like 5/5 star link tracker! Haha am I right?

Why are there so many more satellites on my laptop in other applications?

As mentioned, why subscribe, or pay TWENTY dollars for an app that is otherwise free from others ? Maybe a one-time $1.99
Passing..

Also displays inaccurate information
