Not a Deeper Chirp Problem
I bought a Deeper Pro + together with the Deeper Smart App. It worked great for 2 years until the rechargeable battery went dead so decided to get the Deeper Chirp with a 5 year warranty. When I went to test it out the Deeper Chirp I switched Apps from “Deeper Smart” to “Fish Deeper”. The “Fish Deeper “ App displayed fish icons at the top of the screen indicating water depth of 12 feet when icon was in shallow water of 2 feet. The fish icons didn’t match the water depth which is where they should be across from the water depth. I thought the Deeper Chirp was the problem, but when I switched back to the “Deeper Smart App” it worked fine. Will you the Deeper Smart App” with my Deeper Chirp until they get the bugs worked out of the “ Fish Deeper App”.

Love it.
Own the deeper pro +, absolutely love their versatility of this device. From shore fishing to my kayak to the boat and ice fishing it does it all. And the customer service is clutch.
Best fish finder
The portability and functionality of these DeeperSmartSonar fish finders is incredible. I can throw it out 50-60 yards from the bank in front of me and have no issues using it. Helps me accurately display water temperature and depth. I use my pro plus every time I go out.
New app, new season
Enjoying so far. New season, we will see
Glitchy
I have the PRO+ it’s loses connection when when the phone is 3 feet from the bobber. Also when it is connected the data is delayed and jumpy. The readings are not smooth. Hoping this will be fixed with a update. If not I’ll probably switch to a different more reliable brand unfortunately.
Issues
App constantly says too shallow or too deep, even when fishing in 20 feet of water.
Recommendations for updates
In ice fishing mode, there’s so much wasted space. Make the data points (depth, temp, battery status,etc) bigger. Also, fine tune differences between weeds and lure when they’re close to each other. Color changes for stronger marks. Now it’s just one color.
New app is significantly worse than old
So many problems making this expensive purchase little more than a neat paperweight.
Use case: I go ice fishing once or twice a year in northern Minnesota, anywhere from 8 to 25 miles from shore. There is ZERO cellular reception on an average day.
Problem 1: the app and device literally cannot be used without cellular reception. I have to log into the app just to get a depth reading. What nonsense is that? And there’s no cellular signal on the ice, so the device I brought along gets put away. Absolutely unforgivable. A guest mode or some way to skip login. I spent better than an hour trying to figure out a way to skip the login screen and did not see a way.
Problem 2: went on shore overnight. Got the device logged in. Still insane, but whatever. Opened the old app and discovered it had been logged out... glad I caught that before going out without signal! Ready for the final day of fishing! Get on the ice, drop it in a hole, open the new app... “Too deep/shallow” error, no readings at all. What? Deeper doesn’t work in 30 feet of water?
Open the old app... immediate depth reading and sounding chart. Open new app again... ‘too deep/shallow’. So the new app is just trash and doesn’t work in 30 feet of water, but has a nice UI.
Go get the old one instead. Or avoid the inane issue of requiring a cloud login to use a physical device and get a physical depth flasher.

New version is completely broken (FIXED)
Cant login or create an account so the sonar is useless now.
Update: responsive and fixed quickly by support team. Thanks!

Great product love the form factor. Wish it's USB c.
Please add distance from phone to deeper maybe calculating the WiFi signal delay. please add like a radius where fish might be. Simple number around the finder where fish might be. Even a radius on the map. Heatmap would be good too.
