### 3/5 — Satellite pro

*2024-04-12, version 4.3.5*

I wish I could give it more stars it’s a great app!! Only problem is I want to upgrade to pro but I get an “invalid product ID “ and won’t let me get the pro version plz help or fix the bug!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-04-11, version 4.3.5*

Most straight forward app around.

### 1/5 — Not supported anymore

*2024-03-27, version 4.3.5*

I paid for the Pro version but it isn’t supported anymore. I had to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work but my favorites do not display like it is supposed too. Apple should address this.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect.

*2024-03-26, version 4.3.5*

My only wish is the ability to enter the offset feed angle of my dish, so I can still physically align the elevation.
Other than that, it works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Makes it easy

*2024-02-14, version 4.3.5*

Easy to use great app

### 1/5 — Dish customer

*2023-11-21, version 4.3.5*

I cannot get dish network satellites when I used to with this very same app, I changed phone service from Straight talk to Verizon. Does that have anything to do with it?

### 1/5 — No Pro Version available

*2023-10-30, version 4.3.5*

Why offer a pro version if it is not available?

### 4/5 — Update the app

*2023-10-15, version 4.3.5*

Great app it just need to be updated

### 1/5 — APP stopped working

*2023-09-12, version 4.3.5*

Downloaded the App and paid the $4.99 for the PRO version and after a few months the App stopped working. When opened it would say finding your location and sit there with a spinning ICON.

I deleted the App and downloaded again and the App started finding the location again but we lost the PRO version.

### 1/5 — Ghosted By Support, Paid Version Inaccessible

*2023-09-06, version 4.3.5*

Abandoned by the developers.  Upgrading a free download to pro just results in an error stating invalid product ID.  Cannot restore previous pro purchase.  Website still says copyright 2016.

If you’re not going to provide support to those who actually paid for your app, take it off the App Store.
