## Description

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.

## Review summary

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
