Can I turn off satellites being displayed in Stellarium Mobile?

I cannot find a way on my iphone, but you can on the Ipad.

I can't find a way on my Android phone either. Pity. I rather liked the app apart from the satellites whizzing across the screen all the time.

Press menu button at the bottom left hand side of screen.

Long press labels at the bottom and slider down

Yes, I tried that. It gets rid of the labels on the satellites but not the satellites themselves.

Ah sorry thought you meant the icons. Yes, those moving blobs are very much still there!

I asked Stellarium Labs and got a definitive answer...

"Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us.

Right now, you can only adjust how much more or less satellite labels you can see in the app by pressing the button on the lower left corner of the screen then long press the Labels button and adjust the slider for Satellites

We will take note of this as a suggestion and take everything into consideration for future updates.

If you have more suggestions or features you wish to see or improve or if you encounter any issues, feel free to email us again and we will be happy to assist."
