Leider nur weiß **Developer response:** Try to switch to ios light mode, not dark one, will fix it in next version ### 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? ### 4/5 — Need to add EchoStar satellites *2019-09-17, version 3.56* For hughesnet 107.1 and 97.2 ### 2/5 — Voleur *2019-01-28* Les 4,40 € que vous avez pris sur une application qui était à la base gratuite ! Je suis désolé de vous dire vous êtes des voleurs.!! Mangoni. ### 3/5 — Sometimes it works. *2018-12-23, version 3.56* It often says there’s no database. Other times it says something else and the message goes before I can read it. ### 5/5 — Just What I Needed *2018-01-31, version 3.51* Very useful when selecting a location for placement of my portable satellite dish while on trips in my RV. ### 3/5 — Для автора *2018-01-25* Появление рекламы приложений не радует в настройках ладно в бесплатной версии такое видеть а тут в платной;( ### 5/5 — Nice app *2018-01-01, version 3.5* This app is very nice ### 5/5 — Хороший отзыв *2017-12-09* Версия 3.4 не поддерживает ipad 4? 3.3 - поддерживала. После обновления до версии 3.4 иконка приложения представляет из себя белый квадрат. В версии 3.5 исправили, спасибо. **Developer response:** Разработчики не могут удалять отзывы, отзыв может удалить только компания эпл ### 4/5 — Has the Goods... Requires a bit of usage to get it right *2017-12-09* I read a number of reviews about this app that concerned me before I bought it. The problem I read about was one of "too many satellites shown." And, indeed, this was my initial experience. Then looking at the screen shots and playing with the app, I found that not only could I create a group of satellites (mark as favorites) and see them highlighted in AR. I also found, using the four small "badges" located in the upper right of each satellite's list entry, that I could seek the location of a single selected satellite of interest in AR as well. The four buttons are: Mark as Favorite, 2D Finder, Calculator & 3D Finder respectively. A tutorial would be great, a "help" mode which allowed the user to tap around on the UI and get information about what it does would be lovely... It is possible to do these key tasks using the app. It doesn't have a mode for Dish Network, DirecTV or any other specific platform. But, using Favorites you can select the satellites you are interested in seeing and then work with those rather than the exhaustive set of satellites. Hope this helps someone save a few or more minutes of their time to focus on other things! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-30* :( ### 1/5 — Was ist des *2024-12-31* Ich will durch Telefonnummer jemand finden per Satellit können sie mir helfen ? ### 1/5 — AR totally broken *2024-05-24* Augmented reality is completely broken Would give 0/5 stars if i could ### 1/5 — SatFinder Pro *2021-10-21* Very disappointed.
