heaven's above may have an iOS app... i forget... either way, it (and several
others) are strictly satellite tracking sites... there are, of course, local
apps that can be run, too... especially for HAM operators working
satellites... gpredict is one or those that is ok... it is going through some
updates related to radio control... it can/will turn your antenna and switch
freqs on your radio when working a satellite...

i used to use the old STSPlus for ground tracks and listing sats with upcoming
view chances... currently i'm using gpredict on linux in place of STSPlus but
it just isn't the same...

they're good but i also want one that shows the sky view from my location with
the sat's path so i will know exactly which sat i'm seeing flying over... in
that end, i'm using stellarium which is an astronomy program first... but my
current setup for all of these is nothing like what i had on my OS/2 system
before Hurricane Florence blew through here and mucked things up :|
