Satellite Pointer - Dish Setup

Super easy to use, I paid for the pro version or whatever it’s called so I can make my own list and only have my satellites visible in the AR camera. I’m a Dish Network technician and I use this on every job to check line of sight. Only problem I ever have with this app is sometimes it takes a long time to load it up as it has to pull your location in order to give you accurate readings. I feel like this problem might also be caused by my cell provider who doesn’t have amazing coverage (att) which is why I gave this app a 5 start and not a 4 star.

I primarily got this because I was clearing some land/acreage at deer camp and I knew I would have line of sight issues with a few trees. I set up the satellites (in settings) I needed to look at for Dish, went to the spot my dish was mounted on my pole, and held my phone up to the sky. I had an ever so slight obstruction on the 119 sat and the 129 sat was totally obstructed. With that said, I went to work. Had to remove three obstructions that were causing issues and now I have a totally unobstructed view of all the birds I need. With this app, it let me know exactly which trees/branches were causing the issue.

We travel in an RV and always looking for a spot to set up the dish. I have tried several apps and this is the easiest most accurate I’ve found. The ability to have a satellite favorite list is so handy. With the use of the phone screen view you get a clear picture of where the satellites are in the sky and possible obstructions is great.
