The new and improved version of BlueTipz has arrived! BlueTipz by Deep Freeze is the first tip-up alert system sent straight to your smartphone (iPads, iPods, the BlueTipz Receiver, and other mobile devices can also work). When your tip-up is struck, if equipped with a BlueTipz Transmitter, your phone will be alerted.

A Fish Log enables you to store information about your catch, take a picture, and even post to Facebook! To verify your mobile device is compatible, download the most current version BlueTipz mobile app. See DeepFreezeFishing.com for more detailed information.

Never had a issue with them ### 1/5 — New update is terrible *2023-02-19, version 3.1.9* I loved my Blue Tipz. The update doesn’t have my favourite notification sounds and it is anything but reliable. I want the old app back please. It was five stars! ### 1/5 — JUNK! *2023-01-13, version 3.1.5* STAY AWAY!!! All it does is light up (like any $5 tip up light). DOES NOT SEND ANY NOTIFICATIONS TO YOUR PHONE. This is an absolute SCAM! ### 3/5 — Custom tone *2023-01-05, version 3.1.5* The Custom Tone does not work for notifications if your phone screen is locked. ### 1/5 — Transmitters and receiver won’t work with recent update. *2022-12-20, version 3.1.5* I’ve had these for years an love them. Went fishing in northern Saskatchewan this morning at a remote sled in lake, set everything up, and found all six of my transmitters and receiver were no longer listed and I couldn’t get them to connect to this new version that auto updated itself. I don’t know why they “fixed” what wasn’t broken… ### 5/5 — Great product *2021-12-19, version 2.0.8* The owner is very responsive and these products work great. On my 3rd or 4th year with them. ### 1/5 — complete disappointment *2019-12-03, version 2.0.2* Bought the twin pack. tested 30-40 times at least and the alarm went off less than half the time. never more than 12' away and nothing in between transmitter and phone(11 pro) deleted app and reloaded twice. so inconsistent that I'm returning to get my $80 back. ### 4/5 — Works well, definitely worth it! *2019-01-17, version 1.0.9* These are very nice products. They are very helpful when fishing inside a shack so you don’t have to constantly be standing up and looking outside the window. I would agree with previous reviews stating they don’t work quite as far as advertised when you was inside a shack. My experience is you can get 50 to 60 yards away from a hard sided shack and still be confident they will work and a bit farther in a soft sided shack. If you purchased the receiver and set it in the window it definitely helps with distance. I’ve noticed the receiver will alert before your phone will alert you. Overall I would say they have been worth the purchase for me as it easy to get focused on the flasher or conversation inside the shack and lose focus on the tip-ups. I gave it a four-star instead of five based on the distance issue when used inside the shack and the price. ### 2/5 — Decent *2018-01-21, version 1.0.9* Range isn’t as good as advertised. 50-100 yards depending on the day when using iPhone. I ran into an issue multiple times when the phone or app turns the scanning off on its own and are unable to get alerts. Cool when it works, disappointing when it doesn’t. At least it has a light on top, so it’s not a complete loss, just more money for a light. ### 3/5 — Great idea works pretty well *2014-12-15, version 1.0.2* Used a buddies a couple times before getting my own. They don't reach quite as far as advertised unless you're sitting out in the open with nothing between the sensor and your phone, meaning not in your pocket or inside your shack. I have two tip ups out while jigging and can get distracted watching the flasher for a couple minutes without checking flags in the shack, this alerts you and can get you on a fish before it drops the bait if you don't see the flag go up in the first minute or two. Works well for me as my tip ups are usually within 40-50 yds. While sitting in any kind of pop up/flip style shack best range that still works is around 80-90yds, which is still great. ## Frequently asked questions about BlueTipz ### How does BlueTipz alert me to a strike?
