Where Does ISS Detector Store Locations?
ISS Detector keeps saved locations and satellite alerts locally with orbit data updating. Point the compass view at beeps for flyovers.
Last updated
ISS Detector predicts visible satellite passes over saved places without accounts. Locations with alarm rules persist in local app storage while orbit elements refresh from the network. The compass view guides eyes to the sky.
That makes locations trivially rebuildable on new phones. Exact folder names may vary by version. Iridium flares and Tiangong passes hide in the satellite lists; enable them per interest. Radio amateurs track more birds daily. Passes favor dawn and dusk. Augmented labels aid beginners.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get ISS flyover alerts?
Save the observing location and enable alerts for the station plus bright satellites. Alarms fire minutes before visible passes. Daylight and clouds veto sightings regardless of predictions.
Do locations transfer to a new phone?
No. Locations stay per install without accounts. Re-add spots on new phones in seconds; orbit data streams fresh anyway. Paid unlocks remove ads and add deep-sky objects.
