### 5/5 — Works great

*2020-09-09, version 1.2*

I was able to connect easily to my local Indi Server and change all the setting for my connected devices.

### 5/5 — Great little app, please keep updating it !

*2019-02-26*

Does what it’s says !

### 4/5 — Good Raspberry Pi INDI tool

*2018-03-08, version 1.2*

Hello,

The one problem that is in this application is that the latitude and longitude are not handled the same. Latitude is north and south,  where negative is south of the equator. Longitude is east and west, where west is negative past the Greenwich Time line and positive forward of this line. Please update. This messes with the scope settings and positioning.

**Developer response:** Unfortunately, this is not a bug, but INDI standard feature. iINDI doesn't interpret the data in any way, it just shows values of the items received from the server.
