Dish App Reviews

Use it to determine where I park my RV to ensure nothing blocks signals.

Used my iPhone 8+ running iOS 11.4 and worked perfectly. Other apps had the satellites way off. Couldn’t ask for a better app for pointing to dish network.

As a Dish service tech I use this app EVERY day and has been dead on every time! It is so much easier than most apps I have used and much easier than using a inclinometer! But as a tech it is not a replacement for the inclinometer when you are trying to get a signal through a small hole. I recommend this app to every customer that has an RV or moves their Dish. The only thing I would change is make recalibrate button, rather than randomly recalibrating. If that's the only thing I can find to change then I think this is a GREAT app!!!

Just upgraded to 6s and OS9. Satellites no longer show up. I'll add to the other complaints and hope the developer eventually notices.

I found the three round red balls right off! The HD sat (129) was partially blocked by a tree branch. Good info. The balls do move position some depending on how you hold your phone but this app still gives me good positioning for my Tailgator.

Bought for a one time gig , stupid app never showed a single satellite. Luckily the old fashion way work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I read the reviews and seemed like this app has gotten better more recently. I rolled the dice, spent the $10 and gave it a try. I was camping in a state park with lots of trees. I used the app and found a “window “ between the trees to aim my Dish Tailgater. It worked!!!! I’m using the app on an iPhone 7 Plus. Great product and easy to use.

I’ve had this app for a few years always worked great, then it stopped emailed Micheal he had a few ideas on how to fix it but it didn’t work....... then it dawned on me I put a new case on my phone that has a magnet on it..... compasses and magnets don’t work well together, removed case and boom dependable as always.

I really like the app and I have no trouble locating the satellites with it . Highly recommend

Bought it in hopes of getting a general direction of satellites and make sure trees were not in line of site. Well trees were ok but when I started aiming the dish where sats should be at least according to another web site, no signal any where. Went by what the receiver said and that azimuth was in western sky so no way that would work. So had to wind up calling dish to get pointed. Come to find out sats we're not where app said or where receiver said after putting in zip and using sat #110 or 118. Bottom line, the dish RV app is no where near accurate. I guess about 30 degs off. No I would not recommend. Also using the tool on the setup may be accurate depending on where you are.

This app is a complete and expensive waste. It should be removed from the Apple App Store. $10 is a lot to pay to line this persons pockets. He should be ashamed of himself for putting this out and suggesting it was worth a cent!

We use a portable satellite dish for football tailgating, so it's always a challenge getting the fish set up. This app is great for helping find the line of sight for the dish satellites. Highly recommend it!

Purchased this and the app wouldn't open.

I am a dish network technician, this is my go to app for line of sight. If los looks a little tight I'll still use my inclinometer for a more accurate view, but all around great app.

This app works on my iPad but I am not seeing any satellite images when running this on my new iPhone 6s. iPad gets me in the ballpark but I notice some minor accuracy deviations while using. I hope the developers see this and fix iPhone functionality.

Camping in a wooded area and could only find one satellite. Found this app for my iPhone 5 and purchased it. Was able to find a clear spot with both satellites in view. Re-scanned my dish and all my channels were there! Highly recommend this app.

This app doesn't really do anything worth paying for. You are likely already going to have your dish with you and getting it set up. So, why do you need an app to tell you if there's good line of sight? That's all this does. It doesn't help you point or anything. You can just point the dish, turn on the tv, and see what happens and save the money. Completely overpriced for the single use it has. Don't buy. Wish I didn't.

I wish Dish Network would have recommended this app when we purchased dish and subscription. We cut down 6 trees at our mountain cabin before we searched the App Store for a "satellite finder". Worked great...

BAM, there they are. So far this App performs as advertised taking the guess work out of moving my satellite dish searching for the right spot.

Got the new iPhone 6s and running iOS 9. The app no longer works. Doesn't see the satellites at all.

Works great with our Tailgater dish. It is worth every cent!

App worked great before I OS 9. Now app will not access camera in phone. Therefore I cannot see obstructions to the satellite. Needs an update for this app. It is totally worthless the way it is.

Does not work. I want a refund.

5+. First time I used this app, in heavy woods. Found window through trees canopy, set satellite dish in that location and first time locked in on 119. Wish I could show you a photo of this area and the small area through the trees canopy I had to work with. (iPhone 6) also works on my iPad mini. Love it !!!

Rip offff!!!!!!

Won't work on iPhone 6 Plus. Worked on 5

The app it's self had a nice and simple interface - turn it on and go!! Used it a few times - 3rd times the charm. The compass on the iPhone kept going wackie - one min this way next min this way. It does what it's supposed to do just not sure it's worth the 5$ I'll update after a few more times.

Just bought this for tailgating at Clemson football games and the app will not open!! $10.00? Seriously?

I spent my $5 because they said it WORKS without cell service. This is NOT the case. If you have service everywhere you camp then by all means, buy this app. If you don't, you'll be disappointed, as am I. I even emailed the developer for support, of course nobody has replied. Hope you enjoy my $5, you'll not get any more.

I paid 9.99$ for this & it is a joke. Every time you get the satellites to appear they flip out of site !! Doesn't work at all!! I want my money back!!

I recently upgraded to a iPhone XR from 6s. This app worked fine on my 6s but not on XR. App on XR screen looks normal but no satellites appear on screen, where they appear on 6s screen.

I have several other satellite locator apps and thought I would give this one a try. Within five minutes I came to the past conclusion that it was a waste of money! I recorded the screen as I tried locating the satellites but the satellites were moving around as I moved the iPhone. I wish I could attach the video so someone else does not waste their money like I did!!!

Not working with 6s

Yes Mr. Berg it does work. Simple easy to manage, no extra bells or whistles to worry about. In fact very nice graphics but why $9.99 for this simple satellite finder! Another way to gouge the fixed income RV folks. Stinks like a backed up sewer hose! The cost and only the cost is why this app gets a 1 from me.

This App will not work on my iPhone 4s. It will only pick up satellites 61.5, 72.7, 77 you can NOT pick up satellites 110, 118.7, 119, and 129. I was in open area.

It never worked. I have a Dish at my home already setup and tried this this app at my cabin. This app never located any satellite’s. I brought it home and it still did not locate any there. Another useless app that steals peoples money. I hope you enjoyed my 10 bucks!!!!

Unbelievable!! Can't wait till we camp in the wood again. We've been using over the air. This app and technology is mind boggling. Thank you for a great app.

Works very good

please DINT waster your money Does not work. I want my money back!!!!!

Satellite's do not show up on IPHONE 6S.

I've been using this app for a year and half and can't live without it...

I am driving around the USA in my RV. Use this app each time I stop to set-up my Dish. Works great, able to find the Sat though the trees! Worth the price.

When are you going to update to the new iPhone. I can't find any satellites now.

It works just like it is suppose to. I watched it in you tube and then decided to purchase it after my tailgater arrived. It's very simple and easy to view on the iPhone 5.

. Are we planning on fixing it. Used to work OK.

I have used this app for years and it worked great every time. Something has changed and it can’t find ANY satsumas . I don’t know if the app has changed or my iPhone software update made this app inoperative. Am now looking for another app that will allow me to find 110 & 119!

I use this in the mountains when camping. It does really well. The new update is spectacular. If you use the tailgater by Dish, this app is a must have.
