About GoSatwatchSatelliteTracking
The story behind two of the App Store's most trusted sky observation tools.
Making the Universe Accessible to Everyone
GoSatwatchSatelliteTracking was born from a simple question: "Is that Mars up there?" That moment of wondering - and not knowing - inspired us to build apps so intuitive that anyone, from curious children to seasoned astronomers, could instantly identify anything in the night sky.
We designed GoSkyWatch Planetarium to be uniquely simple. Using the iPhone's accelerometer in a novel way, users can explore the sky without pressing a single button - just point and discover. It was the first iPhone app to overlay constellation artwork on star charts, transforming abstract dot patterns into the mythical creatures they represent.
GoSatWatch Satellite Tracking brings that same philosophy to space: real-time orbital data, precise pass predictions, and a world-map view that makes satellite tracking genuinely exciting. GoSoftWorks develops mobile applications focused on astronomy, satellite observation, and space science - for hobbyists, educators, and enthusiasts worldwide.
We prioritize ease of use above all else. GoSkyWatch requires no prior astronomy knowledge - the accelerometer handles orientation automatically, so you can identify objects without holding the device in any particular direction.
GoSkyWatch was the first iPhone app to overlay the actual constellation images on star charts - connecting the dot patterns to the mythical creatures and objects they represent. It adds an entirely new dimension to exploring the night sky.
GoSatWatch is an independent platform and is not affiliated with NASA, SpaceX, Apple, or any government organization. All orbital data is sourced from publicly available datasets for educational and observational purposes.
Built for Outdoor Use
The red-light interface preserves dark adaptation during nighttime sessions - a critical feature for serious observers.
No modes to select or buttons to press. The accelerometer guides sky navigation automatically as you point the device.
Planets are color-coded by relative brightness compared to surrounding stars, making visual identification effortless.
Search for any planet, star, or deep-sky object and an on-screen arrow guides you to it from anywhere in the sky.
Adjust star magnitude to match your actual viewing conditions - from urban skies to dark-site observing.
The display automatically orients correctly at any angle - no need to hold the device perfectly in landscape or portrait.
