1. Please Please update.I am a dish technician, the app works great in my work phone (set by dish) but it is absolutely trash in my personal phone.It's all depends on the quality of your phone's internal hardware, but works great on my Pixel 4.app works great.
2. I don't think this app is being actively developed anymore, I asked for a search function twice, the first time I got a reply saying "next version" and the second time the dev didn't respond.
3. I've moved to satellite-ar as it's better.Tried others only to be left frustrated, DishPointer however works extremely well and in my view, worth the price.
4. make sure that you calibrate the compass if you have any issue.it used to work just fine, lately the satellite move around as I move the phone.
5. DishPointer uses your phones camera giving you a perfect view of the Satilite you are looking for and any obstructions that might be hindering the signal.
6. I wanted to make sure proper due is noted given the TV system in which this app was used for will be decommissioned, however app will stay on device in case other people I know have issues.Please update the app.
7. I asked for my money back and was refunded very quickly.Best Sat Finder App hands down! I've been making a living with it for 10+ yrs.. it's replaced my inclinometer 98%.. I still use my inclinometer in a tight spot to verify LOS.
8. However, if you allow this app to load all the way before looking SW, you'll save alot of time!Great app when used a few years ago.
9. There is no search function, the satellites are ordered by degrees not alphabetically makes it hard to locate the object you're looking for.
10. After trying these suggestions the app still didn't work for me and whether it is me,my phone or perhaps my position I don't know.
11. The others use Google Earth that certainly helps in getting the dish pointed in the right direction, however they are useless if you have obstructions in the way.
