Awesome. This is a side project I never got around to making myself. For all the questions of "How do you know where the satellites are", there are published TLEs (old punchcard format) that describe orbital parameters, and you can use those to estimate the position within ~10km (good enough for this).
If the app does what it advertises, there is ZERO reason to care about how it was created. We aren't talking about a one shot prompt here. I'm sure they spent a lot of time working on it, regardless of how the code got generated.
I figure most people that comment this way actually have difficulty getting a coding agent actually on track and building something useful. Just because you lack that skill, doesn't mean others don't have it.
Regardless, a low effort comment by a human is worth a lot less than a comment from an AI with some thought behind it from a human.
I build from a lot of reference code I wrote myself. I've been coding for 30 years, so I have a LOT of code. The improvements to this code by the agents is staggering. That's my experience. Doesn't have to be yours.

The no-account and on-device location approach feels exactly right for this kind of app; how often is the orbital data refreshed?
How does it differ from the existing apps that do this?
How do you calculate the next passes over a given position?
They dont ...Vibe coded...
Human slop comment.

where do you get satellite orbits from?
