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

[Rick Tejera]

The one thing I wish it would do is allow the selection of multiple satellites. 
I'd like list of all upcoming passes without having to select each one individually.
Other than that, it's a great app

Tap on one of the passes, and it will bring up an Az / El compass showing the pass arc and where the bird is in real time.  Aim your antenna as indicated, and off you go.
