Leave a Review Star Adventurer Console
Not suitable for iOS-should be removed from store
This app claims to be for both iOS and android. It works OK on android. It does not work on iOS. It is intended to control the sky watcher star adventurer over its own internal Wi-Fi network. With iOS your phone can connect to the ad hoc network broadcast by the sky watcher. But in iOS the app itself cannot connect to the sky watcher mount, so nothing can be controlled. Tested on two android devices and four iOS devices running iOS version 15. If I could give it zero stars I would.Show lessNew Wave Luddite
Polar clock useful but wifi control does not work
I bought the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i a little over a year ago and had never used the app for anything but the polar clock. But I tried to use the wifi app control yesterday and found that it never detects my Star Adventurer, even though the iPhone can see and connect to its wifi network.
Update: wifi control does work but you have to allow access to Local Network under Settings > SA Console. App needs an update to be more in line with modern iOS apps.Show lessRoflraging
Does not work
This app is very poor quality (i.e. does not work at all). Don’t waste your time; find a more reliable, better quality star tracker!Rince Art
Good but has some bugs
Just got my 2i and connecting to the unit was a breeze. I switched to App mode to enable the WiFi and connected my phone to it. In the app I had to Tap on the bottom “not connected” for it to search for and find the tracker. After that it automatically connected. Controls are straight-forward in the app. Nice that it shows the input voltage as well. Might be a little better to add a “connect” button or an initialization setup on first run instead of having to infer you need to click “Not Connected” to initiate the scan for devices. There is also a random “Done” banner that shows up if you are already connected and click on the connection. It shows up where the “turn off wifi” selection is located on the screen.Show lessPhotoblaster
Doesn’t work
I just got a Star adventurer 2i and everything except the app function works. I guess the name change from the latest version update has messed up the connection ability with the mount.
Oddly enough, I downloaded the SAM Console app for my windows laptop and was able to connect to the mount successfully. So the iOS app is the one at fault..Show lessKumar110011
Basic
Gets the job done, but has a lot of room for improvement. Astrophotography dithering is not selectable when connected to WiFi. Not sure it even works if you set it before connecting to the mount.Lollynjake
Not bad
A no track option would be really helpful to take clear foreground shots. It does disconnect often for unknown reasons, but it’s fairly easy to reconnect. Overall, the app works wellMr. Review Guy
Ok
Can you please add an exposure countdown timer, a “no tracking” option for iOS and fix WiFi connectivity issues? ThanksDisgruntold
Really not happy
This app is so terrible I’d rather build my own barn door tracker.
I have to constantly force shut down to access the tracker despite leaving WiFi on when trying to run, yet the app indicates the WiFi is in network... and on and on...
Geez!the quiet listener
