Great App!
Totally worth the .99 cents! Works great! The kids and I frequently keep an eye out for these totally cool flares. Wait until you see one of the really bright ones -- amazing! Accurate to the second, and fun to show friends the flares. A cool option or two for the future use would be ability to type zip code or pick your location from a map. Being able to predict ISS passes would be handy, and maybe text message or beep on the phone 10 mins before a pass. Thanks for the cool app!!

It works
It works but is a little to simple. I would like to see a countdown or even a decent way to refresh it without going into the settings.

Great start
I love the idea of this app...very simple to use and works well. Like other people have said a count-down feature would be great. A push/alarm feature would be awesome. If those things were added it would easily be a five-star app. I'm hoping for an update soon!

Awesome!
I saw my first flare tonight and it came exactly when it said it would. Great and simple app for cheap. I would pay extra for it to have a real time map of the sky so I could follow the iridium sat easier but I love this app anyway. I got a -8 coming tomorrow night. I hope it's clear out. If you didn't know heavens-above it the premier website for satellite tracking so this apps info should never be wrong.

Hey hey it works!
I was initially dubious as it crashed twice right after purchase. But then it 'got better'. Tried for a -6 last night but cloudy. Tonight two in a row as predicted--a -1 then a -2 right after. Brilliant! Simple app. No real complaints.

Nearly perfect!
I love this app... It works well for me, and reports its predictions pretty quickly. Nice job! Someday I hope to be able to convince some natives that I'm a god with this info. Suggested improvements: I wish it could show me the times in countdown mode, and I wish it could help me find the right spot in the sky by using the angle sensor built into the iPhone (and the compass, if available).
