The User Experience

SkyView® Satellite Guide: Find space junk, space stations, and more day or night employs a simplistic and very user-friendly interface.

All you have to do is point your iPhone or iPad at the sky when you see an object in the sky that you wish to identify, and this app will quickly find out which satellite you are pointing at. Of course, you can do this at any time of the day and even if the satellite cannot be seen from the naked eye.

The interactive design also enables you to pan around the Earth and discover new satellites as well as zoom in to look at objects closely, all in 3D view. There are also two night modes available on this app that employ either red or green filters to the lens.

If you find images that are particularly captivating and beautiful, then you can easily share them with your friends via social networks or simply save them to your Camera Roll.

To ensure that you don't miss your favorite ones passing over you, you can easily schedule reminders that will alert you when a certain satellite will be visible from the sky over your current location.
