## Description

Satellite Transponders is a comprehensive global satellite database. With a single press, point your iOS device toward the sky and see all satellites available at your location, then search by channel, satellite, or provider and view frequencies, polarization, FEC, symbol rate, and provider links.

Key features include sorting by satellite, favorites, and 4-in-1 in-app purchases (augmented reality, smart searching with sound indication, sorting by frequency, and a satellite calculator). A professional SatFinder PRO version with AR is available.

## Review summary

Review consensus is mixed: many users praise the app's usefulness and clean UI, especially for FTA filtering, but recurring issues with outdated data, subscription friction, unreliable satellite finder, and overall reliability hurt its value.

### Pros

- Useful satellite data and planning support, including for restricted regions (e.g., Iran).
- Easy to use with a clean GUI/interface.
- Filters for FTA channels help focus results.

### Cons

- Data and satellite frequency information is outdated or inaccurate (e.g., incorrect frequencies for Astra 4a, Baghdad channel frequencies, Intelsat/Nilesat references).
- In-app purchases and lack of a trial lead to poor perceived value; many reviews mention no free features or a trial.
- Satellite finder / locator features are unreliable or do not work consistently.
- Overall reliability and usefulness are questioned; several reviews label the app as useless or bogus.
