Comments on SynScan Pro for Android

★★★★☆ Guy Zumpetta · Aug 26, 2022

Android app deserves a much better score than shown here. App has gone through several updates and fixes. I used the hand controller that came with my Sky Watcher scope until recently, when I gave the Android app another try. I now rely on the app almost exclusively. Alignment is easier and there are more choices for alignment method. Wireless connection eliminates being tethered to the mount by a coil cord. Downside is a smartphone screen lacks tactile feedback, but practice helps.

★★★★★ Benjamin Green · Jun 3, 2025

I'm sorry others have had issues but my experience as a visual observer with the app and my AZ-GTi(X) has been nothing but positive. I've never dropped Wi-Fi, even when I've switched to Sky Safari to view the sky map. The "Tonight's Best" works better than Safari as it shows Alt/Az degrees for everything listed, so you needn't waste time trying to point at objects obscured by trees or clouds. It used to be that it made nicer with Android than iOS, but I understood those problems were solved.

Horrible for crying loud evev since I got the AZ-GTI mount, I have never been able to get this to work with Stellar mate Os, now rhe Synscan app operating the mount but not through Stellar mate Os its has been over a week of frustration

★☆☆☆☆ Ryan Brooks · Sep 9, 2024

I really wish I would've read reviews of this app before I purchased a sky watcher virtuoso gti 150p. I've watched tons of vids and researched online of how to align and use the telescope. Even after aligning with Saturn and the Vega star, the app won't even go back to either if I tell it to. The arrow keys to manually move the telescope don't work as well. The goto function of my telescope is worthless. I would've been better off buying a nicer 6" dob without goto. App is poorly optimized

★☆☆☆☆ Jon B · Jul 5, 2022

As posted by another recent user. Please fix the polar alignment bug in this recent release. I had to revert to previous version. Polar align feature is useless in this release. Please fix. Thanks.
