About

The Blueye app is the pilot station for Blueye underwater drones. Fly the Blueye X1, X3, X3 Ultra and X7 from your iPhone, iPad or Mac, and keep flying the earlier Blueye Pioneer and Pro. PILOT • Steer with the on-screen joysticks, or connect an Xbox, PlayStation or MFi game controller. • Let the drone hold depth and heading for you, or keep station and altitude over the seabed with a DVL. • Read depth, heading, pitch and roll, water temperature and battery level on top of the live video. • Tune exposure, white balance, gain, color correction and the turbidity filter for the clearest picture. RECORD • Live video in Full HD from the X1, X3, Pioneer and Pro, and in 4K UHD with HDR and zoom from the X3 Ultra and X7. • Record video and take photos on the drone, on a timer or by distance traveled, with telemetry overlays and voice commentary from your device's microphone. • Download photos, videos and sonar recordings to your device, or move them to a USB drive in the drone. • Live stream the dive to an RTMP server (beta). NAVIGATE • Follow the drone on the map with a Blueye GPS, DVL or USBL positioning system, mark points of interest, and plan and run semi-autonomous waypoint missions. • Combine base maps and overlays, import your own offline maps (MBTiles), and use Kartverket depth data in Norwegian waters. • Publish the drone's position and sonar to TAK clients such as ATAK and iTAK. SONAR, PAYLOADS AND AI • Multibeam sonar: live imaging, recording and playback, tilt control, and measurement of distances and areas in the sonar image. • Guest port payloads: external cameras and lights, grippers and manipulators, DVL, scaling laser, water quality sensors and ultrasonic thickness gauges. • On the X3 Ultra and X7, onboard computer vision draws object detection and segmentation overlays on the video, tracks the target you select, and measures detected objects with the scaling laser. Freeze the video to measure lengths and areas yourself. LOG AND REPORT • Every dive is logged with its telemetry, media, points of interest and annotations. Review it afterwards and export Word or PDF inspection reports. • Sign in to Blueye Cloud to sync dive logs, photos, videos and sonar recordings to your organization. KEEP IT RUNNING • Update the drone's Blunux software from the app, check diagnostics and contact support without leaving the app. • Several devices can connect to one drone: one pilots while the others watch the live video. • No drone at hand? Demo mode lets you explore the app. The app is available in English, Norwegian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese and Ukrainian. Connect your iPhone, iPad or Mac to the Blueye surface unit's Wi-Fi and you are ready to dive. Visit www.blueyerobotics.com for more about Blueye and our drones.

What's New in Blueye

6.5.0

October 30, 2026

- Add a marine snow filter to the camera settings for the Blueye X3 Ultra and X7, which removes drifting particles from the video (Blunux 5.2.0 or newer). Its Low Latency option removes less of the snow, but does not delay the video by a frame. - Set the manual camera gain on the Blueye X3 Ultra and X7 in ISO instead of dB, stepping through the standard values from ISO 100 to 12800. - Add degrees and decimal minutes (N 63° 26.1234') as a third position format next to decimal degrees and UTM. Points of interest, mission waypoints and the positions on the navigation pages are shown and entered in the format chosen in the app settings. - Show on the Guest Ports page when the drone cannot reach a device, a device stops responding or a port draws too much current, with advice such as the IP address a DVL or sonar needs. - Show the thickness gauge settings for the Cygnus gauge on the RS232 connector as well. - Show on the controller page which of LB and RB the triggers need for each thing they do. On the Blueye X7, holding LB and RB together makes the triggers set slow and boost, as the triggers alone do when no gripper is attached. - Fix a mission instruction edit that was cancelled being applied the next time the instruction was saved. - Fix freezing the video to measure being refused with "Release the controls to freeze the image" whenever slow or boost was set, even with the sticks released. - Fix labels at the top of the controller page being cut off on phones. - Fix the slow/boost slider not responding under the pitch and roll display on smaller iPhones connected to a Blueye X7. - Fix Blueye Cloud uploads stopping for good when the app was force-quit during an upload. The upload now carries on from where it stopped the next time you open the app. - Fix files waiting to upload to Blueye Cloud being dropped from the queue when the app was updated. - Fix a blank home screen and hidden tabs on foldable iPhones, which show the tabs down the side of the screen. Pages now also stay clear of that tab bar, folded or unfolded. - Fix the tab names at the bottom of the screen being white on white, and so unreadable, on iPhones in dark mode.
