Comments on SynScan for Android

★★★★★ Owen Gwynne · Mar 13, 2021

There is a known problem with this version of the app when used on phones running Android 11. If you go to the Sky watcher site, you can download the apk to get a version that works on Android 11. Personally, I really like this app and the way it works with my AZ GTi.

It opens and works no problem for connection first open mobile Wi-Fi settings then the synscan app connection. Telescope works very properly. Works on oppo F7

★★★★★ george p · Feb 24, 2022

Excellent app. Been running it for about six months with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Loving it so much that I actually bought the paid version that I have been using it for almost two years now. Never once did it lost a signal, while being using it for almost 5 hours per night while doing astrophotography.

★☆☆☆☆ Jim Pitts · Jun 30, 2021

Doesn't work. Lame. I'll probably return the telescope I just bought. There's no way the app is so complicated they can't fix the issues running on the latest versions of Android.

★☆☆☆☆ Cryogenic Kid · Jul 18, 2021

Garbage app that will not work at all on my Galaxy A7 tablet. Main screen flashes at startup and then disappears just as quickly. Shame on Pacific Telescope for having a useless POS app. Selling my scope since its Goto functions are now useless. Pathetic.

★☆☆☆☆ Mike's Hobbies · Jan 3, 2022

Brightest star alignment won't work. The mount won't move. So have to use North and level. Some of the stars for alignment where over 100° off what the app was pointing the scope. I can clearly see stars, that would be idea for alignment, but the app doesn't include them. Some are too low in the horizon to even use. I'm disappointed and considering going over to electron.

App won't open. Downloaded as was thinking of buying the goto mount. Second thoughts now
