Description
UPDATED GUI! Assists in alignment of satellite dish antennas using augmented reality. Determines local position by using GPS/Skyhook; Automatically computes all values necessary to align antenna; uses magnetic sensor to help during alignment (emits sound when aligned). Ideal for RVs, Campers, aligning second dish, or use as professional installer.

★★★★★
Use for setting up directv dish while camping. Everytime i have had ?'s emailed and got timely response. Great app!
★★★★★
Almost After I figured out that the Orientation Sensor Values don't match the Camera Sensor Values(they should match), got the camera screen to work great. Remember to mix and match the options to get it to work.
★★★★★
This is a great app that does the job. I use it primarily to get the pointing angles and then do my actual aligning with a compass and an inclinometer. If I calibrate the phone compass then the 'Use Camera' option is more reliable. However I generally don't trust the compass in any smartphone and always have a real compass nearby. That said, this app is a great tool for checking the elevation to determine if I'm going to be able to clear an obstacle. The 'Invert Elevation Measurement' and 'Elevation Offset' can be a bit tricky to set. I saw one reviewer who said this app always has him point to the ground, so he gave a low rating. The app works, you just have to go into the settings and tweak a little bit. I have used this app on 3-4 models of phones and all over the world. Many of the pointing apps in the Play store only give the True Azimuth. This app gives the True Azimuth, but also the Magnetic Azimuth. If you point satellite dishes this is the only pointing tool you need.
★★☆☆☆
App is a ripoff does not work correctly! I can face any direction and the app will say the satellite is in that direction. Useless app.
★★☆☆☆
Points at ground when using camera The elevation never really subtracts the 90° in settings so it can be held like Google sky. Droid.
★★☆☆☆
Terrible. Fk you Doesnt work like described. My compass is better on my droid x
★★☆☆☆
Inaccurate for southern hemisphere. Elevation and LNB skew completely wrong like Satfinder.
