How Many More Satellites Are in SkySafari Pro Vs Celestron's SkyPortal App? (Answer: 2000 Vs 188)

Is there a list? It seems to use names and designations from the NORAD catalog, but not very many of them. Or maybe it uses some other names? I tried searching for some LEO Cosmos sats, but it didn't recognize the names.

    Actually, it does track a lot of sats, but many/most of them are geosync. I would like to see it track more LEO sats. For example, it would be nice to track the sats from heavens-above.com list of brighter sats. It seems like all the code is there, there just don't seem to be very many LEO sats included.

    Never mind, I figured it all out. Skyportal only has 188 sats, but Skysafari has over 2,000. I assumed they would be the same, as I was using Skyportal at the time. Sorry about that.
