APP stopped working

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.

Ghosted By Support, Paid Version Inaccessible

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.

WhyI love this app

I love this app because it’s always exactly what satellite is and it also allows me to adjust my satellite dish to link to the satellite so I don’t know what the link to the side like whatever you say when you’re actually the satellite that’s all by and that’s my review

Satellite pointer

This app makes no since you have to be a trained dish guy to understand it should make it were a kid could do it if needed not everything needs to seem high tech and difficult

Locked up will not move I rebooted phone no change

Locked up

Indispensable app for RV owners with Dish

The pro version works great and allows me to find satellites between a small gap of trees at campsites in the woods. I don’t know how else one could accomplish this and finding the angle and azimuth are very easy with the app.

Nicely designed tool

Great for aiming to the SiriusXM satellites.

Keeps crashing!

Recently downloaded this app and can’t make it past the page where it asks to track my location automatically.

I’ve been using this for 4+ years tracking sats all over the world for work

I love this app. Site surveys with a good compass is a game changer. Can you add starlink sats too?

Won’t work for me with dish network

Signal strength remained zero. Elevation and polarization stopped working. Waste of $5

Unreliable

More time than not the app is stuck finding my location. Close it and open it again and get the same. Also, I’ve come to learn it is less than reliable. The compass settings on it jump around a lot as much as 90 degrees or more. When it works it’s great though but that’s not often enough.

Seems great.

Hopefully it stays that way.

Can’t find location

It works the first time you use the app but after that it hangs trying to find your location. Really wish they would fix it as it’s a super useful app.

No longer works on my phone

Worked great for a few months. Not sure if my phone updated or something but the app will no longer find my location. The first thing the app does when I open it is sit on “finding your location.” I checked and made sure my location is on for the app which it is but it no longer works. Unfortunately I paid for the pro version so I am currently out a few bucks. I hope it gets fixed

Good

I used this when installing directv satellite dishes, worked really good

The best app ever

I used this app

App is broken

Will search for location forever unless you manually set the coordinates before closing the app. iPhone XS

Not up to date, compass labeled wrong

Terrible! So badly kept to date it doesn't wven show Att t16/ DTV 16, a surprisingly important satellite!

SatSat

Update and Connect please . Thanks

Looks good but not worth the effort

IPhone 6 compass and other instruments are not stable or accurate enough to allow you to get even close to pointing a dish. Waste of $5 upgrade, you can’t hold iphone close enough to metal of dish to use, and you can’t even trust the relative position shown of various satellites. I wonder where that money goes?
