*2026-05-11*

This app works as advertised, it does take some time to figure it out though.

### 1/5 — SatFinder Pro

*2021-10-21*

Very disappointed.  Azimuth not working.  Power on does not show screens it should.  No provision to reload program.  Help video is a presentation of what the program is disposed to do not how to do it.  Not recommended.

**Developer response:** Try to seitch ios to light mode and satellites will shows

### 3/5 — Satfinder Pro

*2021-10-20*

App ist cool, wäre gut wenn die Satelliten Namen zu sehen wären. Leider nur weiß

**Developer response:** Try to switch to ios light mode, not dark one, will fix it in next version

### 1/5 — Lost all data!!!

*2021-01-25*

It used to show me Dish Network satellites. Now it doesn’t. No names on any satellites at all.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-10-17*

It seems there is a bug that badly display the satellites while in AR ... too bad

### 3/5 — Used to be good

*2020-06-15*

When you could turn the app on and point to the sky and actually see the satellites, this was a good app. Now you see an orbital slot but not the position. Why did you blank out the degree positions?
