[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite Tracking Apps for IPhone

[Bill Ress]

Thanks to all who responded regarding their suggestions for an IPhone 
satellite tracking app.

First off, my problem with Satellite Tracker was my entry of longitude. 
I failed to enter a "-" for west. With that done it's looking good. Very 
simple to use without all the frills.

I also down downloaded pxSat and decided to pay the $29+ for PocketSat3 
since it was highly recommended by Drew and others. pxSat took a little 
to figure out and offers a few nice features over Satellite Tracker.

But, in the short time using it, I really like PocketSat3 since it is 
feature rich. So again you get what you pay for. Thanks to all who 
pointed out my options.

Regards...Bill - N6GHz
