Features & Capabilities

SatFinder is a Chrome extension that guides you through a four-step process to align your satellite antenna quickly. Choose your antenna design, perform an auto satellite search, check for obstacles, and adjust azimuth and elevation with guided visuals.

Note: FineTuning lets you use a second iOS device as a camera and monitor to optimize reception, and some setups may require LiDAR-enabled devices.

User Reviews

SatFinder shows promise with accurate dish pointing and easy-to-use features, and several users praise updates that expand antenna coverage. However, recurring issues drag it down: missing US satellite data, frequent crashes, and device-specific instability; inconsistent azimuth results for some regions; incomplete hardware details for certain domes; and weak customer support. Pre-purchase info about supported satellites is unclear. Overall, while the app is appealing and easy to use, reliability and completeness of satellite data need significant improvement for broad US/NA use.
Pros
  • Accurate dish pointing / results
  • Easy to use / user-friendly
  • Helpful for selecting satellite dish location
  • Regular updates expand antenna coverage and provide support resources
  • Positive overall sentiment / highly recommended
Cons
  • Missing or unavailable North American satellite/antenna data (e.g., DISH 500/1000, Dish 1000.2)
  • Frequent crashes and instability (launch crashes; not working on iPad/iPhone)
  • Inaccurate azimuth/direction for some locations (uses magnetic north)
  • Requires antenna dimensions; lacks data for certain dome types
  • Customer support unresponsive / unclear pre-purchase information
