Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iOS app that overlays live weather-satellite positions on a camera view, helping users aim an antenna at passing satellites.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The site describes a camera-based sky view that places current weather-satellite positions over the phone’s live image, giving antenna users a visual pointing aid. Its privacy model is unusually explicit for a small app: the page says computation stays on the device and that there are no accounts, analytics, or tracking. The landing page is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, with separate support, privacy, and contact links.
