You must first know the satellite you need. It won't offer any help on which satellite you need at all. Dish or direct. So, if you don't know what satellite you need. Forget this app.

The compass pointer is not reliable. It doesn't point as per the satellite degrees listed in the app.
Limited use...

This could be helpful if the map was accurate but from the looks of it, it's a week old. It does not appear to be using GPS in real time. Also no instructions, seriously?? I've seen far superior products and am wondering why I downloaded this one, oh yes it was free!! You get what you pay for..
Uses magnetic north

I kept getting wrong results and finally figured out you there is some mixup between magnetic and true north. If you have the compass app set for tru north, then the compass on Dish Align will point off about 10°. You have to have your compass app set to use magnetic north to get the dish align compass display to match the satellite info. It seems Dish Align is not properly reading the Compass. Example: where I am a sat is at 180° true N, 169° mag N. if Compass set to true N and rotated to 180°, DA compass says sat is 13° west. If Compass set to mag N and rotated to 180°, DA compass says sat is right ahead. I'm not sure how to interpret this but something is wrong.
Just what you need, when you need it
Save me from junk
It just works and has more data than you necessarily need, but when you want it you have it. Very intuitive to use. Would have liked some help to figure out which satellite was mine .. but with a little looking around I got it.
