I wrote the Starlink Assistant App(SLA) because integrating the Starlink System into my home Internet system was a bit difficult. Another reason is that seeing how the Starlink system works is great fun. I want this app to help everyone identify and fix issues, use, and enjoy Starlink. The app uses color images and help pages to assist you navigate through most issues. The main page displays general information about how it is performing. The Initial Setup page describes how to unbox & connect all equipment and wiring, install dishy (the Starlink Antenna), and configure the WiFi router. It also has YouTube links to explain how to unbox, install Dishy, configure your wifi router, and how to run a network cable. The Router/Wi-Fi page includes a test of the connection between the app and the router, display status of Uptime, and Wi-Fi software & firmware versions. Detailed instructions on how to use your own router are also included.

Verdict

The call

StarLinkAssistant and ListerCat both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ListerCat's written reviews are positive against 60% of StarLinkAssistant's. ListerCat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). StarLinkAssistant's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
