5/5Satellite performance
I am really impressed with the development of this app from the very beginning I knew it was special something that simply can’t be understood but does. Thank you

Dusty Griner · 31 Jul 2026
4/5Great app with easy interface.
This does exactly what it needs to do. Just a few questions: 1- I cannot find how to pay to disable the ads. 2- Can there be an option to find/sort the list by orbital position? I don’t always know the name of a satellite but I know what its position is. (I will more likely want to search for 97W instead of Galaxy 19) 3- In the obstacles view, could you have it show nearby satellites also and not just the one?

5/5Accuracy at its best
I tried this app for the first time on site and compared it with other I have used in the past. I had a great time saving

1/5The compass is wrong
The app says I’m facing north when I’m actually facing east. Which makes this useless because it has me facing the dish in the opposite direction of the satellite Edit: I keep getting e-mails about this and yes I’ve calibrated the compass. That’s not the problem. The problem is the compass doesn’t stay calibrated. Might be because I’m using a 6S. I don’t know but it wasn’t working for me. I found one that works better. So, please stop e-mailing me about it. I’m not changing the review.

5/5Hands down the best sat finder
I’ve tried a couple others, but this one is so accurate I didn’t even have to peak my Directv dish, it just worked. Thanks for a superb app!
