SatFinder App Description & Overview

What is satfinder app? With SatFinder you can adjust your satellite antenna in a few seconds and with 4 simple steps:

STEP 1 - CHOOSE YOUR ANTENNA
Choose one of the four different antenna designs:
- Offset antennas (the most common, is slightly oval, the LNB is not in the center).
- Special design (e.g. Oblong shaped Offset antenna, Multifeed antenna)
- Parabolic antenna (LNB is located in the center of the reflector, usually larger than 100cm)
- Flat or planar antenna (small, camping antennas)

If you have an offset antenna, enter the height and width of the antenna. If your antenna has a special shape, enter the offset angle and the size of the satellite antenna. You can find the offset angle in the manual of your satellite antenna. For parabolic antennas it is sufficient to enter the antenna diameter. With a flat antenna you do not have to set anything. If you know the exact antenna name, check if your antenna is already in the database.

Tip: Press the wizard button to measure the size of the satellite antenna using the iPhone camera and LiDAR scanner.

STEP 2 - CHOOSE YOUR SATELLITE
To quickly and easily select a suitable satellite, simply press the "AUTO" button. The SatFinder will now automatically search for satellites that are in your reception area and that offer TV or radio stations in your language (the language setting of your iPhone will be selected). The stars (1-10) shown in the table result from the number of radio and TV channels offered and the reception strength at your location.

If you want to receive a special satellite, switch off "AUTO": Now you can simply scroll through the table and select the satellite. Faster is the search function - just enter the name of the satellite, the channel or the orbit position. You can also reduce the number of table entries by hiding satellites that are not available at your location or do not broadcast in your language. With the button "Channel Info" you can check which channels the selected satellite is currently broadcasting - including all channel parameters for your satellite receiver.

STEP 3 - CHECK OBSTACLES
For a smooth satellite reception, there must not be any obstacles between the satellite and your satellite antenna. You can check this with the "View" function. Simply aim at the satellite and watch the signs (GREEN - no obstacle, RED - caution, free view may not be given).

Tip: Press the button for the assistant to activate the voice output.

STEP 4 - ADJUST ANTENNA
In the menu item "Align" different graphics appear depending on the selected antenna type. If you use an offset antenna, you have to adjust the azimuth and elevation separately. With planar or parabolic antennas the adjustment of the angles is done together. Before you press the "Start" button, a video clip shows how to position your iPhone at the antenna.

Tip: Press the button for the assistant to activate the voice output.

STEP 5 - FINE TUNING
If necessary, you can optimize the reception of your satellite system. The SatFinder provides you with the function "FineTuning". To use this function, you need a second iOS device. One device serves as a camera; the second device as a monitor. Simply place an iPhone in front of your reception screen and observe changes in picture quality while slightly rotating or tilting your satellite antenna. With the FineTuning feature, you'll have visual contact with your TV even when you're out of sight.

THAT'S IT. YOU SHOULD NOW BE ABLE TO ENJOY INTERFERENCE-FREE SATELLITE RECEPTION...
Note: Satellite antenna tuning is only available on iOS devices with LiDAR sensor (e.g. iPhone 12 Pro).

Good but Flawed. Would be great except that the azimuth is looking fir a true north angle while using magnetic. Consistently points you to the wrong direction.

APP. Awesome App! A+++

Awesome. Love it

Not working. Crashes after launch.

Junk. Im on an iphone 4 and it wont even work... All buttons obscured, nothing works

RVer. Love it! Love it! So easy to use!!!

Not worth it. Awful, I would not buy again. Basically it did not work.

Has Promise. This application looks like it has great potential. It would be great if it included the Direct TV slimline dish as a standard for the US customers. Lots of European antennas but no common North American Antenna as a default. Also I can find no way on Ralf's website to contact him with suggestions or questions. I had to use google translate to read the german webpages, but could find no contact information.UPDATE - newer version has the direct and dish antennas and link for support. This app is the best.

Not work don't bay it i want my money back. It's not working

Doesn’t have Dish. Looking for Dish 1000.2 which it doesn’t have any of the Dish satellites. Doesn’t tell you before you buy it. Not happy. Also, not that easy of an application.

No current Dish Information. No DISH 500 or 1000 info, no Echostar 19 only Echostar 10 may be good for Europe but not USA

The best for ever. Wooooow the best best all stars should you talk it go ahead 👍🏼

برنامج فاشل. برنامج فاشل خسارة الفلوس فيه

Very simple. I love the app. It gives you step by step direction to find your Sat; however, it points only for true north and it does not adjust for magnetic north. I could be wrong.

;). Very good app ;)

I need good love and lots of money. Help me out buddy

+. thank you for new update very useful.

Great. Highly recommended

buena aplicacion. es una buena app pero no esperen sue les aga todo el trabajo. el ultimo toque lo penemos los usuarios. gracias

IPad. Works ok on my IPad

Great deal. Works like magic. I had my signal messed up and the technician ca t come to see it over the weekend, this app found the sat, beeped on the right directions just like a gps. If you are into FTA channels and want to adjust or even install your own dish this is a great help

love it. i love it...

Satellite. Very good app!!!!

Forget customer support !!!. I sent 2 mails to customer support but they did't answer me !

Not working. It's not work on my iPhone4. Just a black page with a few names on it!!!

Not working for SES7 sat. Disappointing

Good work in meddle east. Fined nilesat and arabsat and badrsat and hotbird

User. Don't buy app is junk I want my money back

Doesn’t help me. Requires antenna dimensions. Information is not available for my dome type antenna. App does not help me at all.

Works but has a problem. When your are trying to view a sat and the elevation is greater than 45 deg once you pitch above that you lose your azimuth bearing and the indicator for the sat drifts off to left or right.

Great. D we

great app. works great, finds all sats +++++++++++++++ more

Not worth 1.99. The app is not worth the 1.99. The signal from direct tv works fine.

Good. Good

it don´t work properly on my iphone 4. I am on Argentine and the aplication do not working properly. by example: hispasat satellite (30w) appear with 180 grades of diference (as I was living on EEUU). from Argentina, hispasat is localizated on azimuth from North 40.03, elevation 38.55, skew 30 grades. I would not buy again.

Sat Finder!??. I'd say trash can finder! This is where it say my sat is...!! Terrible app..!!!! Don't waste.

SatFinder. The app seems really accurate and spot on it would make dish pointing easy than guessing

شكر و تقدير. العالم اضبح اسهل مع هذا التطبيق

👍🏻. Very Very Good...

It crashes on launch.. It crashes on launch.

SatFinder. This can be a very helpful application for choosing a satellite dish location and setting up the dish. Does NOT work well on iPad I view function crashes since there is no camera present.

Not so dependable. Not sure why I have issues but soon as the phone gets near the dish it throws the compass off. So far havent gotten it to work once :(

Now it's Good. Now it's Good

Bad App. I cannot find any sat.... So bad

Geht wieder !. Nach update auf v2.5 geht es wieder, wenn man das Intro in den Einstellungen abschaltet.

سيء. جربت الطرق المقترحه ولم تجدي نفعاً،، مضيعه للوقت والمال

Sat finder. Bought this to set up my sat dish and didn’t even pick up any signal! I feel I’ve been ripped off! Not happy!

Big dish. Unfortunately this app doesn't have antenna set up for c-band dish, 1.8m,2.4m etc etc. so I'm unable to use.

SatFinder crashes - no refund - be warned!. Fantastic concept, but pity it crashes and doesn't work. And I cannot get a refund. Very unhappy. (Crashes with exception in -[UIImagePickerController setMediaTypes:]+604). How on earth (pun) did Apple approve this app when it crashes with an exception after hitting the Start button on the View tab?

737 pilot. Three point seven five stars! Initial impressions- pretty impressive! Works very well on my iPhone4, with a few limitations. To set up, you just set your dish dimensions, pick the satellite, then off you go. It uses GPS position and the phones electronic compass. Elevation appears to be spot on- lay it flat on the dish in the centre and it's right on the money. Excellent! I'm impressed! Bearing is affected by the dish itself (just as ANY compass will be, electronic or otherwise), so move a metre or so away in front of the dish (or any other large steel objects), use the finder to pick a spot on the horizon to aim for, and then you know where to point the dish. Pretty straight forward IMHO. A few bugs but not bad! (The "check obstacles" page, where you point the camera towards the satellite, doesn't work for me at this stage- satellite image wanders all over the place.) However, well worth the money as far as I can see at this time, and I look forward to seeing how it goes in different locations and also look forward to a few minor bug fixes. LNB skew would be nice! (please....) I would very happily give it five stars if the "check objects" function worked and LNB skew were provided. (I can see no way around the problem of a steel dish affecting the compass when close.)

Satfinder - 5 stars!!. Great App. Works well in various locations in Victoria, can't wait to try it out in NT & Qld. Have experienced trouble previously in WA where satellite is very low in sky, with result that trees would often block signal. My signal meter would indicate strong signal but no picture or sound resulted. This App should fix this problem for me as obstacles are clearly viewed on-screen enabling alternate dish location to be tried. Very easy to use once correct dish height is entered, problem of dish interfering with compass when resting on dish to adjust elevation can be overcome by briefly removing iPhone, waiving in fig 8, then re-attempting adjustment. Well worth price.

Difficult to use. Not recommended. I found this application extremely difficult to use and really no help at all. There is another product, Satellite Finder, which is a lot easier to use, reliable and accurate as long as you have an internet connection.

Nice infinity. Nice infinity

David Puc. Cool ... It work thx but it didn't tell us how to set the lnb

Great. I love it. Because it works.

GREAT room to improve. Great app, setting the height and width was bit difficult could be made easier

Making things easier. This app does pretty much what you should expect, regular updates to fix the issues have made all the difference. This app is useful unlike dish pointer. All this app needs now is the LNB skew then the doco that comes with the portable sat dish would be obsolete. Another nice feature would be the ability to set you own "zero" for elevation so that you could rest the iPhone/iPad on the dish and set it more accurately. For me the best thing would be for it to be an iPad app. Another nice fix would be for the sound to disable when I put the device to sleep without exiting the app when in positioning mode. All in all it delivers and combined with the signal finder setting up the dish takes less than 1 minute. I've used this app from Brisbane through NT down to SA into WA and have found it to be great to find the location to sit the dish to avoid trees and where to point the dish to get an almost perfect position prior to using the signal finder to fine tune the rest. Worth the cost.

Not for Canada. Cool... But no good for Canada. No Bell or Starchoice .

Great app !. This works great. I live in Canada found Bell sat quickly. Better than buying sat finder from Radio shack.

Don't buy - read first. I paid for the app and tried to install it . After downloading the app just disappeared fro The iPhone screen and when i tried to re- download it says it is installed . It seems it is scam. No app is installed and no where to contact. Be aware

Neat app but doesn't work. I tried to use this as directed. The metal from the dish arm seemed to throw the phones compass out making it pretty much useless. Would like a refund....

Doesn't align with known sat maps. I give the developer full marks for developing a nice looking app. Unfortunately, for my application, the app doesn't cut it. I needed to align to the G-19 satellite and the location of the satellite changed depending on where I was in the yard. Where this app says the satellite is and where other satellite maps tell me it should be makes me question the accuracy of this app. Please understand. I am not a professional installer nor have I tried to align more than one satellite dish. The one reason I bought this app for one reason and it could not help me...

Malo. No funciona nada bien trate encontrar tres satélites y no funciona hacia los lados y daba equivocado la altitud no lo compren

Crap. This app says it works, but it doesn't have Canadian sat on it waist of money would not recommend

Wow!. English fallow.... J'ai essayer le gage de la tv, jai acheter un sat finder a 20$ qui fait un son... Apres 3 jours de tentative j'ai jamais réussi. cette app ma permis de setter mon satellite en 2minutes et je n'ai aucune expérience! sa vaut le 1.99$ :-) (je suis au canada) vous devez savoir le nom du satellite que votre compagnie utilise, il en a une tone!! I've tried to set with the gage in the TV, i've buyed a sat finder $20 that made a soud, but never got the signal in 3 days, with this app, i got the signal in 2 minutes without any experience in sat! Good $1.99 spend! (I'm in canada) you need to know the satellite your furnicher use there is a LOT

Works with IPH 4S and IPH 5. Just installed the APP on my IPH 5 and selected NIMIQ Satellites of Bell Express Vu and pointed the IP 5 to the sky and it was able to locate NIMIQ 1 with no problems.

No good. I have tried to install app two times app will not start just shuts off instantly. No support page or any support at all. Buyer be ware

Awesome. Great app works perfect just follow the directions and for my fellow Canadians bell expressview sat is Nimiq 4! My trailer is surrounded by trees and with this app I had my dish set up in under 15 mins this is the best app I have ever used and for 2 bucks wow I've also set up my neibours dishes love it thanks so much to the inventors of this app:)

Terrible finder for shaw direct. If u have shaw direct do not buy this app, it works terrible. I try it today and it find the satellite but when u try to put the dimensions of the dish it says that it does not allowed and the coordinates the app give u are wrong , every time I try it give me a different direction. I want my money back

Canada Ontario Bell user happy with app!. I'm not one for writing reviews but felt compelled to do so. I can't speak for all phones using this app or all the different dishes out there. I have a IPhone 4s and Bell is my provider. Choose galaxy 17 / Nimiq 1 by checking it off from a large selection of satellites. Once you do that your set. Extremely simple to use and I am a complete novice at these things. I bought this to set up a portable dish while traveling in an Rv or Cottaging in ontario. Works every time for me. I hope this review helps another bell user from Ontario in choosing this app.

Crap. Piece of garbage, idea works but metal on satellite interferes with compass making it useless, don't waste your money
