Features & Capabilities

This app shows you the position of satellites. If you are installing or adjusting a satellite dish it shows the direction to point it for your chosen satellite.

The satellite position is shown as a red dot over the camera image so you can also check if there are obstructions between you and the satellite.

User Reviews

The app is widely praised for providing generally accurate satellite locations, and for being free and ad-free. Users report it helps quickly locate satellites and assess line-of-sight, aiding dish alignment and decision-making about where to aim. It’s noted as helpful in real-world scenarios, including remote or challenging installs (DTV, barges). A few users report issues with the compass/arrow direction or UI limitations (rotation-only modes and occasional blanking at high elevation); these appear infrequently but suggest reliability can vary. Overall, strong field-use value with minor reliability caveats.
Pros
  • Generally accurate satellite locations
  • Free to use and ad-free
  • Helps quickly locate satellites and plan dish alignment (clear view assessment)
  • Useful in real-world field conditions and remote installs (e.g., barge, remote DTv installs)
Cons

Arrow tells me to point east when I know satellite is to the west. Tells me to point west when I know it is farther east. That doesn’t really matter because the arrow just keeps pointing until I go around and round in a complete circle. Makes you dizzy but never points at satellite. And yes my setting are correct on my phone.

Ok you should already got all info on location of your sat of interest on sat finder dot com by your address and terrain view of your area. You got trees buildings and some clear sky. Now use this app to see if u r lucky that your sat is located in the clear or move to a better spot. Works well for me!
