Satellite tracking apps

Good afternoon. I am about 70% through my self-study journey before taking my technician exam. The other day, a module I was studying discussed satellite tracking apps.

What apps do you find most reliable? Are there better websites or computer-based programs? I hope to work with satellites soon and want to start getting in the habit of knowing what is overheard at certain times. Thank you for your time.

I am a Linux user and have been using gpredict for years. Very customisable too.

Make sure you have your location set on these for accurate sat passes. Also ISS is doing a special SSTV event from Dec 25 - Jan 7th
