Satellite Pointer - Dish Setup App Reviews

Very precise

Very useful

Useful and simple ; perfect

User friendly

Inaccurate and unable to use in portrait mode. Calibrating every time meant an ad which meant non functional wen using only one hand.

The location changes by a huge amount, like 40 degrees every time I try. I dont know which one is right.

This is an interesting app, however it would be a greater benefit if it actually helped you to hook up to satellites for your dish. And it would also be good if you had Canadian satellite hook ups too. Other than that this is a totally useless app.

Does not work properly, i want my money back!

This is a handy app for those of us who have mobile dishes. It has one critical shortcoming, though. The satellites are shown as dots on the camera screen so that you can theoretically find a spot for your dish that has a clear view of all the satellites you need to pick up. The dots are clear but thats the end of the clear part. The text identifying the satellites (user selectable by name or position) is white on light gray and very fuzzy since its a low resolution GIF or something. As a result the app is useless when youre outdoors by your dish since you cant see the satellite identifiers. You have to go to a dark location to get the identifier, then go back out and try to remember the approximate position. It would have been so easy to make this an outstanding app by making the display color configurable, but no doubt the white on light gray looked cool on the computer. In bright light with old eyes its unreadable. Still, if youre in a fairly clear area you can get a good idea of which way you need to look, and to be fair 20 year old eyes can just make out the numbers. I appreciate the work that went into creating the app and would buy the paid version if I had any confidence I could see what I was looking at.

No instructions, what good are 400 satellites when you are looking for only Dish? My guess is most reviews were written by the company. Save your money!!

I downloaded this app few days ago.. Already it made my days easier.. I recommend this app to those who work in this field..

This app seems to have decent features, but its hard to tell because Im constantly hammered by annoying pop-up ads, especially during calibration. These pop-ups smother the entire screen making it impossible to calibrate the compass. Please get rid of the pop-ups or just charge 99 cents!

Full page ads popping up at almost every interaction are annoying and interfere with the user experience. It seems there is no way to remove the ads by a no-ad upgrade.

Decent app reliable enough for the local Dish company to use as a service reference

Not good in my life helpless app

Bought paid version and it just crashes. Have reloaded still doesnt work. Total waste of money

Way easy to use!

Did absolutely nothing but make finding the satellite worse. Pointed at least 10 degrees higher than it needed to be

Top app

Dont bother, app closes on its own, and doesnt show anything. And I install satellite dishes for a living so I know just a little bit in regards of where to look.
