Ratings and Reviews
Perfect; however, can you add some more birds?
Works as advertised and AR mode solves everything. Could I ask you auto add some additional birds? INMARSAT 2, 3, 4, and 5 series. 16 it total. Thanks.
Updated Review
Although I finally just used a compass to align my dish, I may have been premature in my bad review.
I thank the developer for their response to my review.
My iPhone case is in fact magnetic,,that could explain the erratic signals I was getting and I apologize for my ignorance.
I gave it 3 stars even though I'm not sure how accurate it is and because it didn't have the 101 degree Directv satellite location.
Developer Response ,
The app ultimately uses the data from the compass and gyroscope sensors built into your smartphone. Normally, the iPhone's sensors are relatively accurate. There are two possible explanations for the behaviour you describe, either the sensors are defective or you are using a case with a magnetic closure.
The compass is wrong
The app says I’m facing north when I’m actually facing east. Which makes this useless because it has me facing the dish in the opposite direction of the satellite
Edit: I keep getting e-mails about this and yes I’ve calibrated the compass. That’s not the problem. The problem is the compass doesn’t stay calibrated. Might be because I’m using a 6S. I don’t know but it wasn’t working for me. I found one that works better. So, please stop e-mailing me about it. I’m not changing the review.
Developer Response ,
you have to calibrate your compass. The transparent blue rectangle shows you the current accuracy range
