Upgrade or it’s not usable

I bought a new iPad , so what am supposed to do now, it does not work with my new tablet. I only bought the camera 18 months ago. So should I throw out my fish phone camera?

Please upgrade to IOS 11

Needs to be compatible with IOS 11,

App needs update for iOS11

Any plans on updating this unit to make it compatible with the new version of iOS11?

Not 32bit compatible!

Will not work at all in the next iOS release. Please fix this great app!

Very easy to use

Very easy to use. If there were to be improvements, I'd ask for the ability to run the app without being connected to the camera so that photos and videos taken with the app can be easily viewed.

Please update

Overall a good app but desperately needs an update to work with bigger screens

Works great.

Love taking pictures and video while ice fishing.

Best fishing camera

This is the best fishing camera I have ever used and with the full colour and details amazing !!!!

UPDATE BRICKS APP

I had zero technical issues with this app until I updated it 5 minutes ago. I'm using an iPad 2 running the most up to date iOS. Now when I open the app I cannot hit the "Agree" button on the initial page. My first thought upon using the app was "why do I continually have to hit agree on this screen. Why can't it be EULA'ed and one and done. Whatever. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I HAVE A MAJOR ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT STARTING THIS WEDNESDAY. Consumers pay for a product, that product should work. End of discussion. I cannot believe this app update was pushed out for consumers and wasn't tested on the major operating systems.

Edit 3/6/14
Was told the update would be fixed within a week - still doesn't work. Will be sending this back for a full refund. I should have known it would have ended up being junk the minute I looked at the U/I and seen that it looked like a 8 year old coded it.

Very Disappointing!

Like other recent reviewers, my iPads no longer work with this app after the update. Completely inexcusable! How can you provide an update and not know it won't work with what is probably the most popular device? Neither my iPad 1 or 2 work at all. Poor reflection on Vexilar overall.

Won't work on iPad

The app no longer works on any model iPad. I have tried several different ones running different iOS versions and get the same result as everyone else. Only part of the screen appears making it unable to continue. I emailed support and they said it should be fixed in a week...

Doesn't work

Doesn't seem to work on Ipad Air. I can only see a small fraction of the start up page and cannot move on. I was just about to buy the actual system but after downloading the app I was VERY disappointed to see it was not compatible..

iPad 1 Issues

Previous version wouldn't connect and operate properly on iPad 1. Newest version only shows the upper-left hand corner (25%) of the intro "Warning Not for Navigation..." screen. Can't click the green "I Agree" button, therefore, can't use the app. Disappointed to say the least.
While I understand that supporting older devices is not a priority, Vexilar and their developers need to realize that not everyone is going to take their newest WIFI-enabled devices out on the ice or water with them. This seems like a perfect chance to use my "long in the tooth" device, but can't do it if the software end of things falls short.
I look forward to having this resolved very soon so that I can try it out this ice season!

Nice

Works well, good graphics interface with my phone and IPad, has good range with the wifi. The IPhone app works with my IPad just fine. I just purchased my Vexilar camera and have not taken it out fishing yet, but have used the camera unit in the house. My camera unit has depth markings on the cable so you can get a decent reading of how deep you are.

iPad

It works great on my iPhone. I can't find an app for my iPad. Anyone have the same issue?

Good app

Does what it says, it's a nice app but you need the fish phone. Could use a something that says what direction the camera is facing and depth would be nice.

Fish slayer

Awesome app and camera. Doesn't get any better!
