If you can’t fix the current version at least let us use the last update until you figure something out. I have 400 dollars of unusable equipment, I currently had to purchase a iBobber until these are back online and it’s wasted my money, time and effected the time I had to enjoy the holiday… I did nothing but praise these for the information they collected and shared with friends and family only to be left wondering if it’s even being addressed since they discontinued the product line. I received a email stating it’s being addressed and soon to be updated. Until then let us use a version that functioned? ### 4/5 — I like the app! *2023-05-11, version 1.2.7* but it needs to be updated, it’s been quite a while since the last substantial update. New similar devices are starting to show up in the marketplace. ### 3/5 — Fish view! *2022-10-15* Fish view ,doesn't show anything I don’t know why!! ### 1/5 — FishHunter App *2022-06-24* Mann kann sich bei der App nicht anmelden. ### 1/5 — Probleme logare *2022-06-22, version 1.2.7* Probleme de logare in aplicatie. ### 1/5 — Can’t login or log up. *2022-06-10, version 1.2.7* Can’t login or log up. That means: app doesn’t work. No app = useless device. ### 2/5 — Can’t register *2022-01-30* I just bought this trued to put in my info and it will not let me it keeps saying put in lsat name I have and it’s not working ### 1/5 — Glitches *2021-10-10, version 1.2.7* A lot ### 1/5 — No Internet Connection *2021-09-08, version 1.2.7* This is an issue that needs to be addressed. Unit just never connects when needed. Takes 30 minutes to connect then when the unit connects then error Sonar will not connecting. SMH ### 3/5 — Good app but living in the past *2021-08-03* It’s impressive how little was paid attention to UI/UX. The apps functionality is good however the interface is lagging behind 4 years. For example either developers didn’t figure out how to extend the UI to fill the screen on newer than iPhone X devices or they just don’t care (pro tip: start by using a LaunchScreen.storyboard instead of launch images). UI in general looks like my mom took a shot at photoshop. That UIColor.blue navigation bar just hurts my eyes and why can’t you rotate 3D structure maps? The last update is from 2020 so I just don’t find any excuse not to at least make the UI fill the screen on modern devices ### 1/5 — Device is a brick can’t sign in *2021-07-07* I can’t sign in, create or reset my password my fish finder is completely a waste of money. With out being able to use this app it’s useless. I have contacted support again and again and got no reply. ### 1/5 — The app does not work *2021-07-07, version 1.2.7* I cannot credential in the app. When I try to link my Facebook account I get an error. I also get an error when I try to create an account. So I’m stuck on the home page trying to get past the account login requirement. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2021-07-06, version 1.2.7* Got home after buying, I’m sure the fish finder works great but I can’t even sign into the app. Keeps saying “Error” and won’t let me sign in. Without the app it is worthless, will most likely return. ### 1/5 — Piece of garbage *2021-06-26, version 1.2.7* I’ve had the unit for a year. Actually got it to work once. I can connect to the units WiFi but then the unit won’t talk to my phone, tablet, other phone….Don’t waste your time, money, or frustrations on this. ### 1/5 — Just like everyone else having connectivity issues *2021-06-11* Pain to connect ### 2/5 — Does not work as advertised. *2021-03-08, version 1.2.7* I’ve had the FishHunter pro for about 7 months. It does not work as advertised. It does not show the depth in ice fishing mode. Even with a full charge it barely lasts 75 minutes. I am not happy with it. I fish from a canoe on soft water and ice fish on hard water. This was my first fish finder. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 升级后3D小红球就不能用了 *2025-01-18* 软件升级后探鱼器就无法使用了，连接不上了 ### 1/5 — No Wifi connection, no support *2025-01-14* I got no support from Lowrance.

I am not able to connect to the wifi. I can see it but the App doesn’t recognize the device. ### 1/5 — Terrible customer service *2023-07-05* After the latest update my FishHunter will no longer connect to my phone or iPad. Contacted developer and was told no fix for it yet! ### 1/5 — App not working *2022-11-22* I have tried signing in on multiple devices, tried resetting my password, and even tried to create a new account and I constantly get a message that states “an error occurred” or “we cannot process your request right now”. This is very frustrating as I have deleted the app multiple times, went to the support website for assistance and nothing has worked. Please fix the app so I can use the device. ### 1/5 — 登入时错误 *2022-11-16* 不能登录，从新注册，显示登入时错误 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 中文 *2024-10-31* 看到朋友有中文版的，下载这个没有，啥情况？ ### 5/5 — Problem connecting original fish hunter *2023-12-27* Why can’t I connect my original fish hunter 96E6 to this app. Hoping to find away still use it cause it still worked great ### 5/5 — 没有中文 *2023-12-10* 为啥没有中文版 ### 5/5 — I can’t login in app!!!!! *2021-01-12* I can’t login in app!!!!! ### 5/5 — First use - pleased *2020-11-13* Used the FishHunter Pro for the first time. No problems connecting it. Used it in a pond and had to throw it out by hand because I was afraid my rod wasn’t strong enough to cast it. When it hit the water it started registering on my phone and it was great. The real test will be the lake in my kayak. **Developer response:** Thank you for you feedback.

I've had mine out a few times now and it has worked great. A product for any fisherman novice or professional.
