    Try Satellite Director. You can use it to aim the antenna and to check the sky for clearings when needed.
  • If you have Dish then the dishformyrv app is free and works well.

    Couldn't find it on the Apple App Store. Could you please check the name or is it only for Android?
  • Before buying an app such as the DishPointer app, download one of the free compass apps and make sure your device's magnetometer is working correctly. Those belt cases with the magnetic catch in particular, can have a bad effect on them, as can any strong magnetic field. GPS only tells the app where you are, the magnetometer tells it which way you're looking.

    The name is correct. I use it on an Android phone and don't know if it's available for Apple products.
