[amsat-bb] Recommended satellite tracking app for Android?

[Steve May]

I am a fan of ISS Detector. It certainly isn't just for the ISS, either.
The developer has all of the amateur radio satellites in the app, and you
can set alerts for certain satellites along with a minimum elevation.

Great widget as well, which allows for a quick glance at the objects you
are tracking.
