Pros and cons of SatFinder Pro app for iPhone and iPad

SatFinder Pro app good for

Havent had it out in the field yet but looks great so far, Seems to have everything I would need

I use it all the time for work and it has never failed me. Extremely easy to use.

you guys need to put a video with audio in pirtugues step by step how to find a satelite !!!!!!

Find the location of the sattalite, it works, to make fine tuning watch the reciver singnal.

Some bad moments

Save your money if you are thinking that this app will help you align a satellite dish. Shows you all of the satellites, tough to sort through them to make any sense out of them.

I bought this app to help set up my direct tv satellite. Direct tv satellite is not even listed like the developer claimed. USELESS APP for me.

Do not be fool to buy this app its useless , you can find more info for the sat on the net .it will not help you to set your dish ,there are more free app that will help you set your dish ,all good reviews are scams.

This app does not do what it promises. Most reviews are plants. The support page is in Russian. This app is a rip off and convinces me that IPhone app land is a mine field.

I had hylas 2 the other day, today I updated and its no longer in there? Thats ok, but the support page on the Internet and in istore has no method to contact the developer. This app seemed to have promise, but unfortunately I have to give it a 1 star for no support.

This app had a lot of promise for use with our SNG (Satellite News Gathering) trucks to visualize a parking spot in the field to make sure a satellite is visible and not blocked by buildings or terrain. Originally, the satellites names would be displayed in the sky view. Now just the satellite longitude position is visible. No longer useful for our non-tech truck drivers. Youve upgraded yourself out of a couple dozen copies.
