Ein Splitscreen wäre für Applegeräte Mega (liegt aber eigentlich an Apple) 5 Sterne fürs Gesamtpaket der App. ### 2/5 — App not working *2024-07-26, version 2.4.6* Unable to load map despite newest update saying it has fixed the issue ### 4/5 — ND2 boat *2024-07-22, version 2.4.5* Brought my ND2 boat and the auto pilot, had no issues setting it all up and with the latest update installed (V2.4.5) - all seems to be OK - great product ### 3/5 — Dynamic Island. *2024-07-22, version 2.4.5* Whilst I haven’t had a chance to test the new app yet I have noticed a problem with the icons on the left being covered by the iPhones Dynamic Island. Is this something that can be addressed? They just need moving over to the right very slightly. ### 5/5 — Massive upgrade *2024-07-22, version 2.4.5* Being one of many that couldn’t use the older version of the app, first and foremost I’m initially just happy it actually works now. Not only does it fully work on my iPhone the updates are extensive and have improved the whole overall experience 100 fold. From great new features such as action groups to under the hood improvements, it’s certainly better than the rating presently showing. ### 5/5 — Works well *2024-05-18, version 1.5.2.0* Great app works perfect for me never had an issue, feel for all the people who have issues with the app. ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2024-05-06, version 1.5.2.0* Don’t waste your time. Cannot cannot boat to app! ### 5/5 — Works great *2024-04-25, version 1.5.2.0* Been using this app since I bought my boat. It works fine on my iPhone and iPad. Although it has stopped working on my older iPad mini. Simple to save your spots then find new ones. Then load any saved ones back in. Very simple to use. I have used it extensively in France. I have also tested the new beta version (on a Samsung tablet) that is coming soon. It has better satellite connectivity…..you can save more spots than before and you can now create a list of actions to perform at the press of a button. Like you can on an RT4 and 7. For a fraction of the cost. Great work from ND. ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2024-03-20, version 1.5.2.0* Only seems to work for 50% of purchases. Hasn’t been updated or fixed in nearly a year scam no responsibility from ND avoid at all costs. Use the remote don’t be lazy your just giving them money for credit on a terrible product ND are scum would give it zero but not allowed ### 2/5 — Keine Verbindung mehr zum Boot *2024-03-03* Mit ist es nichtmehr möglich sich mit meinem IPhone 13 mit meinem Boot zu verbinden, das GPS muss funktionieren für den Preis und ist auch sehr wichtig für viele! Bitte dringend das Problem lösen! ## Frequently asked questions about BaitBoat ### What is the transmission range for BaitBoat?
