### 3/5 — Blocked for 333 days??

*2026-02-25, version 2.71*

The app was amazing but I randomly got the “the app is blocked for 333 days”, and it’s useless.

### 5/5 — Wird die App noch gepflegt?

*2025-11-05*

Ich habe noch ein Dur-Line 4000 BT kaufen können. Die Jopplung funktioniert auch und die Pegelanzeige ist auch in der App sichtbar. Sehe ich das richtig, dass die Feinausrichtung über die Pegelanzeige läuft? Da brauche ich also das Smartphone nicht mehr an den Spiegel halten?
Weitere Frage: was kostet pro und welche Vorteile hat es?

### 5/5 — Best Satellite Finder (Pro)

*2025-10-26*

This app is best app to alignment the dish antenna

### 1/5 — Why?

*2025-09-26, version 2.71*

Why have you removed the NBN 1A -1B sats?? I paid for the full subscription weeks later you remove the exact sats I need? Please fix it asap.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-09-08, version 2.71*

I paid for the app and I keep watching ads and too much ads

### 2/5 — Inmarsat

*2025-08-13, version 2.71*

Not all Inmarsat listed.

### 4/5 — Satellite Finder

*2025-07-02*

Der Finder ist leider nicht in allen Details nutzbar. Das Sichtfeld konnte nicht genutzt werden, da sich die Kameras nicht umschalten lassen. Ich habe darauf verzichtet, ein entsprechendes Loch in die Schüssel zu bohren um es doch noch zu bewerkstelligen.

### 2/5 — Boussole fausse

*2025-05-10*

La plus part du temps, la direction indiquée n’est pas la bonne. Cette semaine, le sud a été remplacé par le nord.

### 4/5 — Tv

*2025-01-20, version 2.69*

Works well

### 1/5 — disappointing

*2025-01-10, version 2.69*

I like the idea of AR for elevation, but I keep getting ads and there’s no way to pay for the so called pro version. Also, why are the NOAA satellites not listed?
