Used to work fine on older phone. Won't even connect to WiFi on android 12 Xperia 1, although app does open, can't use it. Appears to work fine on ios, but don't really want to bring a second phone/tablet along to simply get it to run. I have had the mini a few years now, so I suppose this is a lesson. Hardware that cannot be used without an app is likely to become a paperweight unless the app is continually updated and reviewed.

Update to my previous 1 star review, as others said before me, you have to go to the website and download it there to your phone. It will give you messages not to trust this provider but do it anyway. Then, make sure to enable location services for this app. I haven't used it in the real world, but at least it doesn't crash on start up. Still not happy about having to jump through hoops just to run a simple app for such a high tech device. 😑

Excellent, I already own the Star Adventurer Pro, but the odd menu structure & access is awkward if you want to make sudden changes during a session, the SAM makes it very simple & fast to change to other modes. I also love the fact that I can sit back with a hot chocolate drink & still control the unit from the comfort of my chair, giving me the chance to scan the skies with binoculars while SAM does all the work....love it... One gripe i have is if I enter 20 photos it only takes 10 why???.

At first the app dosent work, it's just crashes. After reading reviews you need to go on the Sky Watcher website, find software and Firmware updates and click on SynScan App and find the latest update and click download. At first it won't download (at least for my security settings) you need to authorize the download. Once it downloads the app will work right away.

Zero stars. Having to go to their website to download an untrusted APK in 2021 is ludicrous and shows nothing but disrespect for customers. Furthermore, until you select the "keep connected" in the Android pop-up warning that the tracker's wifi has no internet, you won't be able to connect; instructions don't mention it anywhere and it wasted me an hour.

App is solid and functional but as always, the biggest issue remains detecting and connecting to the device after the WiFi has been connected. In android 14 , the app just does not detect the SAM device. The settings to set the network type and join it to an existing network have always been unreliable. But once finally connected, the final feature to resolve is preventing the device turning itself off after an imaging collection run has completed. Otherwise you have to wake it up, reset WiFi

This is the only way to control SAM yet it cannot connect to the sam. The PC app connects and works but this app wont. It sees the device but cannot connect. I Updated firmware, reset wifi... im still left with a 300 dollar brick. 5 star reviews from people using it as a polar finder should be deleted. That's like giving a 5 star review to a meal because you liked the fork.

Feel bad about the original review.I'm afraid it was my stupidity and frustration that got the better of me.After hours and hours of trawling online and trying countless suggestions, I could not get the app to connect to the mini.Then the penny dropped.The usb cable I was using was slightly loose so I decided to try a different one, not really thinking it could be something as simple as that.But it was, and with the other cable snugly attached, it now connects every time.Lesson learned.
