User reviews

GPS accuracy is questionable

iPhone 15 Pro: gps location changes from time to time, hence not accurate azimuth and elevation. No military bases nearby to gam the signal whatsoever.

To calibrate elevation you need to place an iPhone from behind the dish (and see a satellite), according to video instruction, but using satfinder professional device angle turns out to be an opposite (you need to tilt the dish to the ground, not elevate to the sky).

Azimuth also turned out to be in opposite direction.

Waste of money, IMHO.

Пожелание

Если бы реализовали возможность настройки с помощью блютуз-прибора для настройки спутниковых антенн, добавив соответствующий раздел в приложение, то цены бы не было вашей программе. Такие приборы сейчас выпускает, например китайская компания GTMEDIA. Но у них неудобное приложение V8FINDER. А ваше приложение намного удобнее и информативнее. И при наличии такой функции популярность вашей программы резко бы увеличилась. Ей бы стали пользоваться как новички, так и профессионалы.
