Description
SatFinder (Satellite Finder) is a tool which will help you to set up satellite dish. It will give you azimuth, elevation and LNB tilt for your location (based on GPS) and chosen satellite from list. The result is shown both as numeric data and graphical on google maps. It has also built in compass which will help you to find proper satellite azimuth. It also can use augmented reality to show where is satellite on camera view.
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.

Does what it says. But the "show Ar" didn't work when the camera was showing the dish. It only works when the phone is showing the sky. But then how am I supposed to center the phone on the dish and watch the screen to set the angle!?

Unfortunately my phone doesn't have accelerometer or magnetometer but this app provides accurate information on it's compass and the maps are usable as it pinpoints my location and gives accurate azimuth and elevation ... best sat finder app I have ever used

Brilliant app, helped us find our satellite which we were having really trouble locating. Highly recommend, simple and easy to use.

Calculations for 156 degrees way out. Hopeless. Subscription so no go.
★☆☆☆☆David Griffiths· Sep 11, 2025
I would pay for this application, but I will never use it with annoying, distracting adverts blasting across the screen.
★★☆☆☆Caroline Foster· Sep 11, 2023
Despite my 2-star rating, this is actually an EXCELLENT app which is easy to use and accurate. My reason for dropping to 2 stars is the ADVERTISING. Finding the app through the huge number of adverts is horrible. Discerning an advert 'click' prompt from an app 'click' prompt has lead to frustrations galore. Where once this was a fabulous 'what-it-says-on-the-jar' app, it's a totally frustrating experience now.
