Comments about Heavens-Above Android Version

Absolutely wonderful, precise tool to see when and where anything in low Earth orbit is passing overhead, from the ISS and other space exploration craft, to Starlink satellites, to decades-old debris like rocket boosters. You can filter by minimum magnitude, show only visible passes, set parameters for what's defined as "visible" and more. There's a few more tools on their website, but for a free app, this is better than I could ask for.
This should be a fantastic app, it's certainly a great idea and they seem to have generally done a great job implementing it. However it simply doesn't work for me at all anymore, it worked when I first installed it, but now it is just a useless annoyance. My phone is constantly beeping with exciting things to go see outside and when I click on them the star map informs me that they're not actually there. Something broke. Also greedily they display a giant bright advertisement which blind you.
I really enjoy this app as it can pretty much let me know when there will be something I want to see passing overhead. However I have a few questions. 1. Why in the list of nightly events are there hardly ever anything listed between the hours of midnight and 4am. 2. I live outside of our city and once my eyes are accustomed to the dark I can see quite a bit. But even satellites that are given a mag of 1.0 are very hard to see.
