United StatesThis is the official companion app for Star Adventurer mini (SAM) and Star Adventurer 2i camera mount manufactured by Sky-Watcher. Use this app to program the camera mount for astrophotography and time-lapse photography. It can also help a Sky-watcher equatorial mount user to do polar alignment with the polar scope.

Will not connect to my Sky Watcher
This app looks really great. But it won’t connect to my tracker so it loses all functionality for me. I see on other reviews that it worked until the last update a year ago. Surely it should be fixed by now.
United StatesDithering kills the plan
When you enable dithering for your astrophotography plan, one image will be taken, the mount will dither, then the mount will stop and no more images will be taken. No good !!!
United StatesStill has bugs
Got the app to connect to star adventurer 2i to control camera. Can only connect to sa 2i’s ad how network but not actually remote control the camera shutter.
United StatesPolar clock utility issue
Polar clock utility won’t work, it can’t get GPS information from my iPhone to work, I have to use a third party app PS Align Pro to align my tracker. It did work initially for a short time, I’ve tried the other functions for time lapse and don’t know if they still work.
United StatesApp no longer working - very frustrating
This app worked with my iPhone when I used it three weeks ago. Today it won’t connect to my phone. So I tried connecting to my iPad and it seemed to work. But when I tried to run Astrophotography, I got a “Communication error” - very frustrating after hours setting up on a really cold night.
United StatesNew update prevents iOS app from connecting to Star Adventurer 2i
The iOS version of this App worked really well using my iPhone to control the Star Adventurer 2i until the latest iOS version of the app was released a couple of weeks ago - however unfortunately since then the current iOS app cannot connect to the Star Adventurer 2i even though the iPhones WiFi is connected to the Star Adventurer 2i wifi. I do not see a way to go back to the older version of the app and I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the App but no change. It might be possible that the updated firmware for the 2i would allow the iOS app to work under the latest version but the website with the firmware update only uses windows computers and I only have access to Mac computers. I am hoping support reads these reviews and addresses the issue for iOS users. I noticed a couple of other reviews mentioned the same issue after the latest app upgrade. I have attempted to contact support directly but no response yet.
United StatesDisappointed
Got my new Star Adventurer 2i set up only to find the app shows “No Signal” in the Polar Clock Utility after connecting iPhone to SA. Please update!
