[2013-01-17] A Google User: Highly Recommended! This is a great application but I would like to see the ability to pinch zoom and audio alerts on satellite lock. Highly Recommended! |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: DIRECTV installer Great idea..... just isn't accurate enough. I have the Motorola ATRIX, and it consistently is off by about 10 degrees, even after calibrating the compass. Also the compass reading often reads a negative value of like 250 degrees when it is really pointed at about 130 degrees. Also hasn't had any updates for a long time. Satellite AR gives you the same stuff for free. |

[2013-01-02] A Google User: Didnt work Doesn't work like it shows in video want money back |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Dish pro This application works must of the time but freezes one in a while. Very helpfull apt. |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Great program Thank you |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: Great tool Use it everyday.not perfect but i don't even use my inclinometer anymore. |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Getting better Works for the most part, just not in cases where you have a very tight Window. I would double check with your compass in those situations as it is often off by a few degrees (at least on my Motorola atrx, and I for have 2 of the atrix and they both react the same on this app). I would love to know what phones work the best with this app, but as I am planning on upgrading soon |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Awesome Within two minutes of downloading I was locked in and off the ladder. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Avision It is great but does have a glitches. Some times it freezes up and there has been a few times it will not show the satellite that I need. |
|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: Didn't work Poor |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Needs fixed Needs bug update for droid x2 no matter where u put the phone the sat doesnt move |
|
[2012-10-09] A Google User: Uh, get the labels to lay out horizontally according to device orientation, currently they stay vertical. Android OS ALLOWS NO SCREEN CAPS! Tnx 4 xplaining permz! Markt lic check done OFFline, network not needed. INCREASE LIC CHK TIMEOUT & allow 4 net wifi, google's new licensing? Does NOT require ANY checks more than one or two. Never had a requirement for 12 days or whatever, thats YOUR CHOICE, and a bad one. |
|
[2012-10-09] A Google User: ## Great app when its working right |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: Great app Use this app almost everyday. I rarely use my inclinometer. Very easy to calibrate now. |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: Useful Helps to locate dishes to aid installation. |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: Well Worth It While I don't think this app can replace an inclimeter for pinpoint accuracy, I use it for every job. Works well on ATRIX 4G |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: Works well for any satellite technician. |
|
[2012-08-20] A Google User: A must Have Using it installing Dish, Direct, Hughes, Exede-Wildblue and commercial systems. Great for showing customers LOS problems. problems are no different then using even the best compass. Stay away from metal and triple check everything.( I still use my compass). Thanks Alan, Great App. Kev |
|
[2012-08-20] A Google User: Not impresses Didn't work for me. I tried for hours tweaking this out. Never even a blip of a signal. Then downloaded a free app and nailed it first time. Save you money. Wish I could get mine back. |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Useless in the bush. First the good. A great tool for easily finding any satellite. Just pick the sat and line it up over your camera's view. Very slick. BUT if you don't have an internet connection you're screwed. It checks for a license every 5 days. Completely useless for setting up a satellite terminal in a remote location without internet. |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Work Great for los for those pesky apartment jobs! |
|
[2012-08-12] A Google User: Excellent!! Perfect just stay away from metal. I have found that accuracy starts to fail within 10 feet of metal. Like a car or the dish. And keep compass calibrated!! Good app makes my job so easy Ken- Dish network |
|
[2012-08-11] A Google User: Didn't really help me. I found some of the free alternatives easier to use. Wouldn't be too bad, but way overpriced. |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Doesn't work Freezes up all the time |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Great but you need an internet conection I install VSAT in Afghanistan and this app is perfect for site assessments. But in order for the app to work you can't be away from an internet connection for more than a few days without getting an error message about needing to sync with Google before being able to use the app. Which means for remote sites you're pretty much not able to use this app until after you install the satellite and get the internet working. This needs fixed. |
|
[2012-07-22] A Google User: Great app I'm a contractor for dish network and use this app everyday. It's pretty accurate. Not as accurate as an inclinometer but much cheaper. and nice for showing customer when there is nolos. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Steve P I use it with a portable system. So if I'm unsure of elevation required I check with the webb site and it gives all information required for an easy setup. |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: No user instructions This may be a fine app for those who work with this equipment every day, but no information provided on how you are to actually aim the dish accurately, where to line up the sight lines on the dish, etc. Lots of information, no way to use it. |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Great app! Broadcast satellite operator based in UK.... Use this app nearly every day..never let me down yet! |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: Great app!! As a full-time RVer, this app is awesome. Moving around the country in different rv parks it's a must have! |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Kiwi Satelliteman I install high speed Internet and TV satellite systems for a living and this is the BEST piece of kit I own. It is easy to use and accurate and saves me hours of work and frustration. GREAT WORK ... Thank you. |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: Just Awesome I'm a tactical systems engineer and use this app on a regular basis in supporting the US Army. |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: DTV INSTALLER Works great for determining line of sight!! its a real time and money saver for us installers!! strongly recommend |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: Dish Network Installer |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: On point On point with tmo g2 . . . Stop by standing by the dish it's for a general location. Or, you might be want to to get a new profession. Or, just stop by shooting for your dishes in the trees..... Assholes B-) |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: Fantastic I would not aim a dish without it. Saved me several times. |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Galaxys2 |
|
[2012-06-30] A Google User: Great tool Does not point dish for you, its not for alignment. It's to give you a good proof of line of sight. It can assist with alignment if you are at least a hobbyist, but the bad reviews only come from those who are expecting it to do the whole job for you. |
|
[2012-06-29] A Google User: Not for my phone The 4 star feedback is for the amazing customer service. I am sorry that this totally cool app doses not work well with my phone. – Droid X on Verizon, Android version 2.3.4 I am forced to remove it. I will now try Satellite AR which is free. The lag time between the photo capture and the satellite information overlay make capturing a photo with the satellite information correctly overlaid onto the photo imposable unless you are using some type of tripod to hold the phone completely still while waiting for the two images to marry. I found this impossible to do holding the phone. In fact, I even hit the capture button while facing north and pointing the phone to the ground about 10 feet in front of me. The photo was captured and I quickly turned and pointed the phone towards the southern sky and the satellite information was captured and overlaid onto the northern downward facing photo. There were also force close problems and phone freeze issues which resulted in the phone seriously overheating in my pocket. |
|
[2012-06-19] A Google User: Confirmed my suspicions! I bought this app to confirm my suspicions about which tree was blocking my Directv dish from receiving a signal. After confirming my thoughts using DishPointer Pro, I took down the tree I believed to be the culprit. Got my signal back immediately. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is a good instructional video showing you how to hold your phone and at what angle relative to the dish. It's kind of hit or miss otherwise for us non-professional installers. One very nice feature is being able to take a picture of the situation and email it. Would gladly add the 5th star if you actually show me how to line up the phone! Great job! |
|
[2012-06-08] A Google User: Not accurate This app gives you the general direction but is not accurate. It moves when the wind blows and when you do a job like mine and it says that the sats are here and you end up sighting in a dish into a tree. It just causes a lot of extra work. So if you're like me and accuracy is key. Get the proper tool. |
|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: Good product It gave me trouble using Epic4g at first then seemed to fix its self. The sats them selves do seem to to be further left of the image and has burned me on a couple occasions. But for most part very helpfull tool |
|
[2012-05-23] A Google User: great app and support team This works great on my Droid and now my ASUS Transformer ! The support team emailed me right away to let me know how to set it up on my new transformer pad. Thanks! |
|
[2012-05-20] A Google User: Great app Great and really handy app. Have used in many parts of the world to find and check have a clear line of sight when installing and setting up antenna's using various communications satellite's. Support rarely required but when is needed is quick and helpful. |
|
[2012-05-15] A Google User: Excellent Nice done safe me alot headeach |
|
[2012-05-04] A Google User: Don't leave home without it Finding the right campsite is easy with dish pointer pro. No more backing in, moving to the left, moving forward, changing sites, just take a shot at the sky, find the satelites. Set up. And enjoy your TV. I WILL NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT. DISH POINTER PRO |
|
[2012-05-01] A Google User: Service is excellent. I had a problem not seeing the satellites and emailed support. I had a reply the next day saying the samsung android bug was fixed and to calibrate the touc screen normally. It works great and has saved me time and money! |
|
[2012-04-29] A Google User: Great A must for aiming satellite dish |
|
[2012-04-29] A Google User: Rubbish A complete waste of money, held up phone and the satelites keep moving from side to side. I wouldn't bother to install and save your money. |
|
[2012-04-22] A Google User: Memory hungry - doer not move to or run from SD card Is this a ploy between the major developers and phone manufacturers to produce software that requires more phone memory and that cannot be run from or transferred to the SD memory storage? Really guys, some of us are happy with our older phones and producing software that requires a phone upgrade because there is not enough phone memory to run the application does not sit well, in fact it drives us away from using the software. Please produce a version that can be moved to SD memory. |
|
[2012-04-17] A Google User: galaxy nexus Does not work |
|
[2012-04-16] A Google User: Crap Wasted my money hasn't worked since day one...crap |
|
[2012-04-14] A Google User: Bust Works good on galaxy s with no problems so far... Galaxy tab app stopped working. Inclinometer is not 100% accurate when finding gaps but is fairly close. If you dont have a inclinometer then its.worth 20 bucks |
|
[2012-04-13] A Google User: Great Program I install both DirecTV and WildBlue Internet and this program is used almost everyday. The new Wildblue sat at 115 is very picky and needs complete clear line of site. This tells me if trees are in the way and gives me a photo to show the customer. Wish I would have had this years ago. Works perfect on Motorola Atrix. |
|
[2012-04-11] A Google User: Great satellite finder I have been using dish pointer for 2 years and find it to be the best on the market. Highly recommend. |
|
[2012-04-04] A Google User: My best tool! I'm a Bell XpressVu installer and I started using this out of desperation when my $800 supper buddy crashed and died! Since I started using it to find Nimiq 82 and 91 I haven't bothered to replace my over priced superbuddy. I havent needed it! This app just works GREAT on my stock Nexus S |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Just can´t get it to work properly I must admit that the help service is good but I am not able to get it to work as it should even though I have had help from the service. everything they told me to try was useless all from the compass problem to some changing the program didn´t work for me, I want to be able to see the right ankle when I am planning to install a disk for my costumers, but in the end I always end up by using a disk to get the perfect proof if the costumer has the ability to receive a signal from satellite he wants to get. so the app is useless for me and really a waste of money. I hoped someone would find a way to help me solve my problem but it seems impossible, maybe it's my phone, a phone from t-mobile used in Iceland with Icelandic number. could that be the problem? |
|
[2012-03-31] A Google User: Must have for techs Best app ever for satellite techs, I use this all all the time, cheaper and more accurate than any inclonometer out there and far cheaper |
|
[2012-03-15] A Google User: alabama directv installer and service technician fantastic app help show the customer why I can't put dish where they're asking helps identify no line of sight issues and I can email the picture to me that way I can show my supervisor |
|
[2012-03-08] A Google User: 1 star, now 5 I depended on this to set up my DirecTV HD dish (travel alot in an RV). Noticed Dish Pointer quit working. Thought, oh, great! Dashed off an email to these guys and got an answer that evening that my new moto razr was at fault, and should have received a new Android update. Tried it, voila! Works again. |
|
[2012-02-26] A Google User: Dish Installer Was off by 90 degrees. Lousy tech support, got refund instead of help. Would have much rather gotten it to work. Xoom. |
|
[2012-02-21] A Google User: Mike Not working with Motorola New RAZR. |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: Kevin Great app. It's a great way to show customers that I have to where the sat dish goes an why It's a good spot. |
|
[2012-02-07] A Google User: Unusable I couldn't understand anything with this app, it was impossible to work out how to point the dish with the app. In the end, I just used a compass, which worked perfectly. The UX is just terrible and the fact you need to calibrate it is daft. I was hoping for a simple app that even homer simpson could use. This wasn't it. Anyway, have a few beers on me, since I didn't request a refund in time. |
|
[2012-02-04] A Google User: Heli44 Was great for a min now running a 2.3.4 and all I see is a red line. What a waste of 20. |
|
[2012-01-27] A Google User: Works again on my EVO 4G I'm the engineer in charge of an SNG truck and I use this app all the time in North America. It's great for site surveys in finding line-of-sight obstacles. I never blamed the developer for screw-ups by the phone manufacturers. |
|
[2012-01-27] A Google User: Junk after gingerbread update on evo. |
|
[2012-01-23] A Google User: Great sat finder Enabled me to set up new freesat dish easily, only other thing needed was cheap device to indicate peak signal for fine tuning. App a bit expensive though. |
|
[2012-01-21] A Google User: Good It work goog on my. Motorola electrify i used it for about 3 year now |
|
[2012-01-15] A Google User: Awesome app Pretty good so far |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Excellent I used this on the job daily amazing |
|
[2011-12-28] A Google User: Not working on razr Got the new razr and the sats follow the phone now. No matter where i point it, there are my sats. Loved it before new phone. Pls fix! |
|
[2011-12-20] A Google User: Kevin What a great app. Works perfect on Galaxy Tab. If yiu have a problem check its compatible during the "REFUND" zone and dont slate a great app for not being compaitible with your phone! |
|
[2011-12-19] A Google User: Nice I was a little wary of this program from the start however wow. I am impressed. I had a some tree trimming to do here. I am all wooded in a mountain terrain. I really didn't want to cut down to many trees but my WIld Blue and Direct Tv were struggling and I figured it was tree time. I purchased this program. Spent about ten minutes figuring it out and went to each dish. This was just too easy. Took my pictures and got ready to cut the one and only offending tree. I waited until I could borrow a friends sight glass he used to install direct. I verified the satellites with it. Right on the money, in fact I tweaked both my dishes with this software and got a lot better signal. Thank you DP Tech. Good software, and very easy to use. You just need to know whose sat is whose. |

[2011-12-07] A Google User: 11.99 Gbp. Only option fotce close ripped off |
|
[2011-12-07] A Google User: Make satellites visible. Very intuitive and useful tool, also very accurate on my HTC desire. |
|
[2011-12-05] A Google User: Didn't work. Looks neat but it wasn't accurate. According to this apparently I was dead on, but nothing. My basic compass worked better. I would like a refund |
|
[2011-12-03] A Google User: Droid x Had trouble using this And requested a refund Used my bird dog |
|
[2011-12-02] A Google User: Most have for any dish installer! Works great! |
|
[2011-12-01] A Google User: This is a must for any professional installer, not only finds the birds for you, but let's you see if trees or buildings will interfere with signal. |
|
[2011-11-30] A Google User: Excellent app |
|
[2011-11-24] A Google User: Crashes phone Crashes nexus one development phone. Had to reboot phone several times while on rooftop with dish. Didn't help alignment. Waste of $20. Uninstall |
|
[2011-11-17] A Google User: . Worked great on moto Droid. Razr doesn't work unless you hold at an odd angle. Even then not sure how accurate. |
|
[2011-11-14] A Google User: Droid X2 :-( Won't work w X2. Sats don't move properly. No matter where I point it, it will not locate sats in proper place |
|
[2011-11-03] A Google User: Great app |
|
[2011-10-31] A Google User: Dpp Best sat app ever! |
|
[2011-10-17] A Google User: Awesome |
|
[2011-10-11] A Google User: Magnetic interference Seems like it would work great when not mounting on an aluminum roof but way too much interference to work correctly. Ended up asking for a refund |
|
[2011-10-04] A Google User: The best The sat tech came and said I have no line of site. The app said I do so I tried it and installed myself and the app was completely right! |
|
[2011-09-29] A Google User: Awesome app could never go back to the old way.......people that made this app need a bloody medal. ...good work people. ..... |
|
[2011-09-24] A Google User: I requested a refund on Friday. Got no response until Sunday. (After 3 more requests) the email I got from the support team. "It is Sunday"still waitn |
|
[2011-09-21] A Google User: Dish pro Excellent app |
|
[2011-09-20] A Google User: If anyone is having problems with the app its probably your phone. If it isn't working then it either won't work with that phone or it needs an update |
|
[2011-09-17] A Google User: If you are having trouble launch the application and then move your phone in a figure 8 motion for about 5 seconds then see how it works. |
|
[2011-09-06] A Google User: U people who say this dont work are retards i been using it over a year now about 6 to 10 times a day and it has been perfect every time for me. |
|
[2011-09-02] A Google User: Ncjon22 Use daily installing dish and direct tv. This app has replaced a 200 tool in my truck |
|
[2011-08-27] A Google User: So far has not helped me align my dish... I have spent the last 5 hours working on mounting & aligning my Dish Network. I have yet to get a signal which could be not getting my dish high enough over the tips of trees, but nonetheless, this app hasn't helped me in my alignment. I'm getting constant inaccurate pointing of satellites. The Echostar 61.5, 72, 77 are next to each other and the app is giving me varying ranges on about a 40 degree swath. So I can't tell exactly where they are with the constant different various satellite locations. |
|
[2011-08-23] A Google User: Wasted Money! Orbitals are way off on my Motorola Droid. |
|
[2011-08-19] A Google User: Display is 90 degrees off when using HTC chacha, please fix.... |
