Ratings and reviews

Used to work fairly decent, but recent updates have made the obstructions tool flaky. We have the roaming service and often use the obstruction check when setting up camp. As of late the app frequently doesn't show the green dots to be collected. Sometimes trying 8-10 times will get it to work. Options for network config are limited. App works for the other basics, such as stowing and rebooting. Overall it's mostly useful.

The android version of this app appears to have issues. It won't stay connected to the starlink and cycles between connected and disconnected. iOS version is rock solid and doesn't drop the connection. The android phone (or any other app) never looses wifi connection or internet. Just the starlink app does. Prior version didn't seem to do this.

App on Android freezing and overheating my phone. Even after closing app, my phone stays hot. No other apps do this. Behaves like a virus. Only way to stop the app is uninstall, turn OFF phone and reboot from power off. Uninstalled app and my phone is fine. The issues started about May of 2024, I have removed and reinstalled multiple times, the app is broken OR doing things I don't want it doing...like overheating my phone!
