Latest reviews of DishPoint app for iPhone and iPad
The AR-Tool does not work. The EL is totaly wrong.
AR mode is impossible to use. The text is unreadable if the sky is even slightly dark. Not worth the money. A refund is in order.
App doesnt work worth a #%^+. Tried using app and completely lost my picture. Better luck talking to wife on phone and adjusting per signal strength meter.
! no complete satellite list "19.2E Astra 1F, 1H, 1KR, 1L, 1M" is missing. This is not mentioned in the description! Support is only over FB, which I dont use. $2.99 for nothing
