Description
People across the world have been spotting an amazing line of bright moving lights in their night sky. These are Starlink satellites launched by SpaceX, and they look like a "train" of moving lights since 60 satellites are launched together at a time.
Find out when you can see this phenomenon at your location!
This app is the official mobile version of the findstarlink.com website, which has been successfully serving Starlink predictions to people since May 2019 (when Starlink first launched). The findstarlink.com website has been mentioned on several press outlets like Yahoo! News, WIRED.it, and Florida Today, and receives daily user confirmations of successful Starlink sightings. This app additionally lets you set reminders, and works offline.
Designed to be simple and easy to use. First, please select your nearest city (or coordinates), and click on 'Find Visible Times'. The app will list the times when you can see Starlink. You can also click 'Remind me' next to any timing, to get a reminder 30 minutes before Starlink will be visible at your location. A 'Live Map' lets you track where Starlink is currently in the world.

What’s New
Version 2024.02.262
Fixes a bug where notifications wouldn't be displayed on newer iOS devices
Ratings and Reviews
Update question
If a Starlink pass is rated a 2.1, why would it be classified as dim? Prior to the update, this rating would have placed it in the “good” viewing category. Is it now driven by the time of the pass, phase of the moon (because it was pretty bright last night)?
On an unrelated note, I find that using the map to track the trains (select at bottom, center of the app) is more reliable than just the stated time. Within 5 min, I can typically see something.
Great app
Would like to see better options for notifications. I didn’t even hear it this morning. I was up. Now I will wait another week or so for good visibility. Would like to see more options for notifying or a option to choose a louder notification maybe, even longer. I suppose I could set an alarm but that’s kind of the point of the app, remind. I have not been able to see Starlink as of yet, will be exciting to do so but a small notice at 4 am is hardly working ;)
God-Tier App
I’ve used this app for several nights now and every time its information has been perfect. The app says times given may fluctuate by ten minutes, but it has been right on time every night that I’ve used it—the compass directions and elevation estimates have also been spot on to my knowledge. Highly recommend, and it’s an awesome activity to do with the family and to share with friends while cooped up in quarantine!
