### 4/5 — Uygulama sahibi

*2022-10-18, version 1.3*

Bir ufak güncelleme lazım, uydu listesine ve kamera açık konum var ama çalışmıyor uygulama gibi tekrar bakıcam, eskiden kullandım uygulama manuel de olsa az işe yarıyordu...

teşekkürler

### 4/5 — (Fast) geniale App

*2022-09-19, version 1.3*

Den Punkt Abzug gibt es dafür, dass man nicht auf die Selfie-Kamera umstellen kann. Das wäre eine sehr schöne Erweiterung, da man dann das Handy direkt in die Schüssel legen könnte und das Ziel besser sieht. An der Rückwand ist es schwer, das Handy zu platzieren.

Ansonsten ist es eine super App, die einem das Einrichten zum Kinderspiel werden lässt. Binnen zwei bis drei Minuten und die Positionierung ist so präzise wie vom (überteuerten) Handwerker. Dafür gibt es 👍👍👍👍 mit 🍒 drauf…

### 1/5 — Dishy guy

*2022-04-14, version 1.3*

only works on elevation .deleted it

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-09-30, version 1.3*

Arrow tells me to point east when I know satellite is to the west. Tells me to point west when I know it is farther east. That doesn’t really matter because the arrow just keeps pointing until I go around and round in a complete circle. Makes you dizzy but never points at satellite. 
And yes my setting are correct on my phone.
