I use two simple apps on my Ipad.
" Dish Align " which gives very precise direction to the satellite, with both an arrow and audible signal and
"SatFinder Lite" which shows the satellite on an arc when held up to the sky, giving you the azumith and direction. Both can be set to which ever satellite you are looking for, with literally hundreds available. Both are FREE aps available for Ipad or Iphone in the Appstore.
Takes me about 5 minutes to set up my tripod dish, without even turning on the TV inside until finished and I can usually get a 98% signal strength.
One of our local satellite dish installers uses both apps for installs.
