ISS Visibility is an iPhone and iPod Touch app that displays 10 to 30 day predictions for when the International Space Station will be visible for any location. It can display a chart of the whole sky, or a more detailed chart showing the path of the space station across the sky.

Unlike most other satellites, the International Space Station is bright enough to be seen even under bright city lights. It's very easy to spot when you know where to look for it. This app will have you looking in the right direction.

Available in the iPhone App Store

Features

  • Use the GPS to get your current location, or enter the location manually.
  • Define and save multiple locations.
  • Saves ISS passes and charts on the device for use without internet access.
  • Dark colour scheme to help maintain night vision.
  • Whole sky chart.
  • Detailed Sky Chart.
  • Ground Plot Chart.
  • When refreshing passes for a location using a wifi connection, all the pass charts are downloaded and saved automatically.
  • When using a cellular data connection, the charts for all the passes will not be downloaded automatically. Instead, the charts are downloaded and saved as the charts are viewed manually.

 

There will be times when the ISS will not be visible from your location for 10 days or more. This is usually followed by a period when it will be visible for consecutive days, and often twice in the one day.



The pass data and charts used by ISS Visibility are supplied by heavens-above.com, and is used with their permission.

Great app 5 Star 50x10.png

My Most used astronomy app. Very accurate predictions for ISS visibility. I go to the window at exactly the time this app predicts visibility will begin, and shorty after the ISS rises in the west - every time,


Trés bien. Very good. 5 Star 50x10.png

Easier than using the website! 5 Star 50x10.png

Works flawlessly. Nice to have considering if it's night time and you're outside, you probably don't have access to a PC to check the website. Gives me the info much quicker than if I had to go to the website. Would be nice if it could somehow buzz a reminder on the iPhone just prior to the viewing.


Love it! 5 Star 50x10.png

Love This App 5 Star 50x10.png

by Bill Shupp for version 1.4.3

The sites I'd tried on the net for checking visibility were cumbersome. This app has helped me see the ISS lots if times, and it's so easy. Location integration is seamless, and the brightness graph makes it easy see which flyovers are worth watching. My only wish is that you could set an alarm directly from the app.

 

Well worth the money!
