AmsatDroid Free is probably the most-utilized app on my smartphone.
I like PocketSat3 also but it's more complex (many more features.) It
does a lot more advanced things you'd expect out of a desktop application.
AmsatDroid Free handles my primary needs very well and therefore I use
it regularly. It also is available at every radio amateur's favorite price.

I've got AmsatDroid Free, and it's fine for seeing upcoming passes and
has some other useful features, but it doesn't seem to provide real-time
information on where to point my antenna during a pass. It provides AOS
azimuth, max el, and LOS azimuth, but nothing real-time, unless I'm
missing something.
I'll check out the other suggestions.
Thanks.

Tap on one of the passes, and it will bring up an Az / El compass showing
the pass arc and where the bird is in real time. Aim your antenna as
indicated, and off you go.

I am a fan of ISS Detector. It certainly isn't just for the ISS, either.
The developer has all of the amateur radio satellites in the app, and you
can set alerts for certain satellites along with a minimum elevation.
Great widget as well, which allows for a quick glance at the objects you
are tracking.

The one thing I wish it would do is allow the selection of multiple
satellites.?
I'd like list of all upcoming passes without having to select each one
individually.
Other than that, it's a great app

Hi
Tap on a row on the pass list and you will get the predicted track or
realtime plot.

Do you possibly have an iPhone? If so, the app "GoSatWatch" is killer.

I use "Heavens Above" on my Android phone, it is easy to use and gives me
all the info I need. It also has a ground track with crosshairs, I use an
Elk antenna on a camera tripod, I can hold the phone on the end of the
antenna and move it around until I get the crosshairs on the satellite
image. Check both this Heavens above and amsat droid free, I have both on
my phone.

Android? Summary.

Just to summarize the feedback I got:
Amsat Droid Free: Got the most recommendations. Does the necessary
basics needed for sat operation: pass predictions and real-time tracking
data (if you know to tap on a prediction), one satellite at a time.
Looks like this is my #1 choice. Has what I need without a bunch of
extra stuff, and the price (free) is right.
PocketSat3: I think I used a version of this back in my Palm Pilot days,
and liked it. Looks very sophisticated and powerful, but with a
learning curve. Not free (free version is fully functional except it
won't save anything).
Here are some others that were recommended but that I have not tried:
Heavens Above
ISS Detector (not just for ISS, despite the name)
For the iDevice crowd, GoSatWatch was recommended.
Thanks to all those that responded.
