Nice
Fantastic bobber
It does what it should, a few suggestions
I’ll probably write more reviews in the future because this does seem like a simple dashboard with simple controls.
One thing I find kind of bothersome that I think should be implemented in the next update is keeping the screen from auto locking when you are waterbed mapping. I mean seriously, the phone already does this when you’re watching a video or movie. It’s kind of annoying to have to go into their phone settings and keep it from going to sleep every 10 seconds.
I click auto mapping, and I’m trying to see the screen while I’m using my hands to handle the reel, but I have to stop every 10 seconds and click the screen to keep it from falling asleep.
Please fix this in the next update! Thx!
Another thing I think would be very useful is to be able to toggle sensitivity and range especially for flasher mode. I got the whole circle, but if I’m fishing and only 10 feet of water it doesn’t do me good that I can’t see a blip at four or six feet
I think this app has a lot of potential but I don’t think whoever pushes the updates has used this app once since it’s released.

Make iBobber Great Again
You get what you pay for!
Frustrating
Hey App Designer, whatever triggers the pop up asking me when I bought my ibobber is making your app unusable. When I reply “don’t ask again“ please, don’t ask again! Also, if I do enter a date of purchase, then DON’T ASK AGAIN. It seems every time the screen changes from sonar to settings to whatever it triggers that pop-up screen.

Constantly disconnects/refuses to connect
No matter if it’s 2 feet in front of me or 20 feet away, this thing RARELY works. I’ve stopped using it, you waste TONS of time trying to get this thing to work properly. I’d rather be fishing instead of messing on my phone troubleshooting. When it DOES decide to work (for 2 minutes until it randomly disconnects from my phone) it seems to give false readings. I’ve had it show fish in a swimming pool. Overall, this piece of junk + junk app is a complete waste of time and money.

Great for Dock Fishing
It works great and is a lot of fun. Haven’t encountered any of the issues other reviewers have had. Only issue is with my older iPad screen brightness but the app can be run in dark mode which is excellent.

Dock Fishing
Haven’t used for anything but fishing off our dock. Fun to use and see fish but obviously doesn’t guarantee a fish bite.
It Works!
We love iBobber. Always in my tackle box when bank fishing. A little fish finder on the go. Also, please continue to update the app. I was glad to see an update this week. Good product!
Compatibility just reduced
I bought the iBobber in Dec and used in until it stopped supporting my phone. Now nothing, will not work. Waste of money with planned obsolescence, do not recommend until they provide backward support.
Got it working for a short time riddled with bugs. The othe day it would work for a short time but would get widow asking for purchase date no matter what you did it always came back. Still a waste of time

App crashes
I have a new iPhone & iPad. When I click connect for my iBobber the app closes as soon as it says connected. I open the app back up & iBobber is not connected. I try to repeat & same result. It does it on both the iPhone & iPad!
Could not register
Well I really wanted to like this product but since purchasing as a Christmas gift, we can’t even register for an account to use the darn thing! We get a “Could Not Register. Server problem. Try again in a few minutes.” Well it’s been MANY attempts through the MANY minutes since Christmas. We have tried deleting the app to re download it. Tried on an android and apple phone, and still get the same message. I guess I just bought an expensive paper weight!

Bummer…
I really wanted to like this but it periodically asks you to enter the purchase date every 40 seconds. After clicking “do not ask again” it begins to ask every 20 seconds. After about the 20th time entering my purchase date, i promptly disconnected from the ibobber and began to enjoy my fishing trip.
The hardware seems decent, but the software makes this virtually unusable.

Not good
This device will only connect inside your house once you step out of your house then it will just buffer over and over and over for a long time. And I’ve tried and tried and tried to make it work with this product is just a useless bobber
Completely fake
I have a pond at my house so I used it to setup there are no fish I know the depth and what the bottom looks like it it’s crystal clear and no rocks or plants or deep holes. So when I set it up it’s about 4-6 ft off when it reads depth I was also suprised to find out I have multiple ghost fish in my pond!! it says there are multiple fish under 15 in and 1 over 15 in it and I can clearly see no fish! It says I have 2 big ledges that go up 4ft but it’s a flat bottom it just makes up stuff and people that have no idea whats in the water at a lake or river with low visibility probably believe what they are seeing. That’s not cool! It’s completely wrong! Don’t buy it save some $ get a better setup!

Don’t buy
I bought this ibobber and finally got to use it now that it warmed up. My ibobber won’t connect to my phone thought it was my phone so my fishing buddies tried their phones (android) but it wouldn’t connect or if it did only for a second than disconnected. I did get it to connect 1 time but not even 25ft it said it couldn’t read. Don’t waste your money.

The app crashes all the time
The bobber itself is fine but app crashes and will not stop asking for date of purchase this needs to be fixed
Only ok
Gives depth and fish locations, but it does not give an audible “ping” when a fish is located like it’s supposed to. That makes it difficult to use when you are in a kayak and trying to focus on speed and direction and cannot stare at your phone all the time.
Trash
This is my second ibobber, I returned the first one, and they both disconnect often and the screen doesn’t update often. The bobber is literally 1’ from me beside the kayak and it doesn’t update and disconnects. Stay far away
