Iridium Flares

       iOS Universal

Did you ever want to see a falling star but don't want to sit outside all night waiting to see one?
The next best thing is watching Iridium Flares. The advantage of them is that you can know the exact time and place when they're about to happen. The big difference is that you're watching an Iridium (a satellite) that's reflecting sunlight, instead of a falling star.

This application lists the Iridium Flares that are visible on your location for the next 7 days. The only necessary thing to see them is a clear sky.

FEATURES:
- List of Iridium Flares for the next 7 days, including daytime flares
- Shows the date and time, the direction, altitude and intensity of the Iridium Flare
- Uses GPS to know your location, or you can enter your location manually
- Alarms can be set to remind you before a flare will occur *
- Shows your last loaded Iridium Flares when offline
- View the path of the flare on a map

When selecting your timezone: Daylight saving time has been accounted for.
