SpyMeSat for iPhone and iPad

[BrentB]

iTunes offers downloads of SpyMeSat for iPhone and iPad for free. That's $2 off and the first time this app has ever been free. It provides public access to commercial and unclassified imaging satellites.

Brent,
Thanks, I was not aware of this app. It sounds great, but then I looked at the costs, etc of actual photos. Apparently you still pay a lot for a current photo, and will not get it immediately. The '"Free" photos are several years old, actually older than google earth, according to some reviews.

Have you used it--and what is your opinion of what is available?

Thanks,

Interesting but didnt buy a map to date

Went to https://celestrak.com/

Having using it, I decided it is just an app to buy maps. If they had some free current maps from each satellite then might be useful or help decide to purchase but I didn't buy a map so might be wrong

As I understand it, you can ask for a photo of a specific area--good detail--at a specific time--and then that high res photo graphs can be purchased.
For example a company made a large banner with the company name, and put in in a parking lot or on a building, with all of the crew holding the banner. They were proud to have a photo graph from space of their crew, banner and building.

For example an aerial photo of a piece of property, with specific markers, on it, would be of value.

Maybe even a C Dory gathering, but that pesky drone keeps showing up and taking photos--far better than any old satellite! Thanks to J..di...
