Iridium Flare Forecast informs you about the iridium flares at your location (determined with the GPS or CellID) or the ISS visible passes.
An iridium flare is like a shooting star, but it is a satellite that reflects the light of the sun.

Calculates lat/lon from GPS and reports wrong format when trying to use it to calculate passes. No options to change format. Useless.

U70%

Uninstalling, in order to 'vote with my feet' against patronizing religious ads. Devs have control over ad types, and should exercise it.

U70%
by U####:

Nice, accurate app. Alerts,graphical UI,and more info w/o scrolling for 5 stars. Ads not bad at all.

Possibly the worst app i've downloaded yet. Couldn't find my GPS location and then in the space of 24 hours used 42% battery. Kept my device awake for 3hrs and the GPS hunting for 20.5 hours. Uninstalled...

There's either a connection issue or it crashes. Apparently this is another abandoned app.

Z70%
by Z####:

2 stars because it used to work. But the website that this app refers to has changed somewhat so this app is no longer able to get any pass information :(((

Z70%
by Z####:

This used to be great but for months it has crashed every time you look up the ISS passes. Now claims it can't contact the website for Iridium flares. No longer uses GPS correctly, either. Too bad.
