Latest reviews of ISS FlyOver app for iPhone and iPad
its just some co-ordinates, some kind of global display showing the flight path and the direction we can expect to see it would have made things a little interesting, but nothing here without referencing other apps. Some info on what is happening and planned on the station would be goods as well. You should not be paying for this.
Unlike the demo screen displays, this app does not list date time and location on the gray lines between data lines. This unbelievable error makes the app WORTHLESS!!!! In addition, the user must select one of the cities on a list. At best, the list is horribly incomplete. The user should be able to enter GPS data or lat-Lon coordinates. The developer should be ashamed, as should be the staff who accepted this app.
Simple, works, I would love an update with GPS use for "home" or "away" location, more so would love to click future flyby time/times for reminder or alarm.
