SatFinder
Compass works only on devices with compass sensor (magnetometer).
How to use this app:
1. First of all, you should enable GPS and Internet on your phone. Remember – in most cases it is impossible to receive GPS signal inside buildings. So if you want to get very accurate location – please go near windows or go even outside.
In current app version location should be found quite immediately. So if you stuck with ‘no location’ message please make ensure that you got enabled all required features/permissions.
2. If app found your location, you must select desired satellite. To do this you must find icon with magnification glass and tap it. On the list you will find all satellites with elevation angle above zero degrees. Remember: satellite name doesn’t affect the calculation of angles. Important thing is satellite position.
3. The azimuth, elevation and skew angle is calculated for your location and chosen satellite. Under calculated values there is a compass with graphical representation of azimuth angle. The azimuth angle is calculated with magnetic inclination. Remember – every time you use compass – you should calibrate it. Green line represents your phone azimuth. So if on compass green and red indicators are on each other – front of the phone should show you direction to the satellite. If the compass value is correct – phone azimuth value will go green.

The app does what it says perfectly. The phone direction presented as a green visual cone on the map is a very useful tool to aid people who can't read a compass 😅
So far so good just down loaded and used first time today really easy to use compass turns green when correctly aligned with no silly set up compass on mobile as other satfinders want you to do first.
This program is very useful for finding the right satellite and subsequent positioning of the satellite dish. Great job. Thanks man.
Really useful app. It has always helped me point my dish to the required satellite. Many thanks to the developer.
I suggest this app is very useful with the mpg 4 setup box.
i want an app to help me align my dish, not a bunch of adds to buy other apps to actually alingn my dish. this is crapware.
A very nice and accurate program for determining the orbit of the satellite. Thank you very much
This app is very helpful and it save your money This app is worth it for 3 mb that's why I'm giving this app 5 star rating Thanks for making this app ❤️
A good satellite finder app easy to use.
This is the absolute best app for locating satellites and pointing emitters.
the earth map not showing clearly as shown last year 2018 , please update your app as soon as possible
Not useful, because it doesn't help to set dish antenna.
5 stars for that app for its brilliant works... I don't need any installers now.
