    DishPointer AR Pro

    Hi,

    Has anyone on here used the DishPointer AR Pro app in the AppStore? Is it particularly accurate or am I best off still using my traditional methods with a signal finder?

    It's always intrigued me as an app, but at £13.99 it seems a bit expensive for what it might be. Any feedback?

      Yeah, I would still signal meter too just to make sure I'm aimed nice and tightly on the satellite.

      In your opinion, does it speed the job up enough to warrant the £13.99 price tag?

        to fine-tune the dish on the desired satellite I use the device SatFinder, the easiest and most reliable instrument, phone with android allows you to determine the direction of the desired satellite.

            Right, thanks for that. I'll see if Satellite Director is on the app store and report back.

            Is DishPointer £13.99 on the Android store? What extra features make DishPointer better than Satellite Director?

                Ha! Never thought to turn to *******. Thanks.

                Also, to report back, yes, Satellite Director is on the AppStore and it is also free. I'll probably still hang off buying DishPointer until I get a few more opinions.
