GPS Satellites Viewer

GNSS satellites above you are now visible!

Install

GPS Satellites Viewer lets you locate GNSS satellites overhead using two intuitive modes: Compass View and Augmented Reality Projection. It supports major satellite constellations including GPS, GLONASS, QZSS, BEIDOU, and Galileo, providing detailed information such as satellite ID, signal strength, and whether the satellite is used in your position fix.

The Compass View projects the satellites on a compass interface, while the Augmented Reality mode overlays satellites onto the real sky through your device's camera. Additionally, this extension displays your position in WGS84 latitude and longitude, as well as various local coordinate reference systems (CRSs) across Europe, North America, Asia, and beyond, making it versatile for international users. With extensive CRS support and real-time satellite tracking, it's an essential tool for GNSS enthusiasts and professionals.

User reviews

Users find the app useful for satellite information with a clean interface and working AR feature. However, many express strong concerns over the app's demand for intrusive permissions including camera, storage, and continuous location access even when core features do not appear to require them. The forced granting of such permissions before the app can be used, and persistent ads, negatively impact user trust and satisfaction.

Pros

Provides useful and necessary satellite information.
Clean and user-friendly interface.
Augmented Reality (AR) feature works well and is appreciated by some users.

Cons

Requires intrusive permissions such as access to camera, storage, and media even when AR features are not used.
App requests permanent location tracking without option to restrict it to only when the app is in use.
Advertising is frequent and disturbing to the user experience.
Cannot use basic functionalities without granting permissions that seem unnecessary for core features.

This app will ask you for storage permission, and will not open if you do not give the access to all your pictures, videos etc ... Uninstalled straight away. Apparently you need to give this access for the augmented reality. Just an idea to the dev team, leave the option for the user to decide if they want to use the feature or not. Amateur work tbh.
