About this app

Track satellite passes with ease!

Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites. You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.

Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location. To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.

The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation. It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.

Main features: • Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days

• Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes

• Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info

• Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map

• Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files

• Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.rtbishop.look4sat is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 3.2.3 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Look4Sat: Satellite tracker first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Look4Sat: Satellite tracker, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
