Minn Kota i User Reviews

Top reviews

Created by boneheads

Sucks to pair, but after it does, the is NO deploy/stow function. I get that it’s a basic control for a back up situation, but how are Ulterra users supposed to stow or deploy the trolling motor?? To think this app was made available with this glaring weakness speaks volumes for the slackers that designed it. Pretty lame addition to a pricey trolling motor.

Needs more functionality

Would be nice if it had a deploy/stow feature and a trim up/down feature.

Worked in a pinch

I forgot my I-pilot link but was able to download and use this app to control my Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor. Blue tooth drops unexpectedly which could be trouble in a current. The prop stop button is way to big and is a hair trigger, super inconvenient to be navigating and suddenly turn off the prop.
Would use again if I had too but hopefully won’t forget my controller again.

Not connected

I have tried to Bluetooth this thing for days now! The controller connects but the app on the phone doesn’t work! I would like to see if can be fixed, it would be a good thing if batteries go flat or something like that happens.

What a trash app

My phone is connected to the motor but the app cannot find motor! What gives??

Doesn’t work

After the last update my phone will show a Bluetooth connection to the motor but the app doesn’t recognize a connection.

Useless Feature That Does Not Work

Connected my motor to my phone via bluetooth. Shows connected but none of the buttons work. Disconnected, reconnected and same thing.

Didn’t work with iPhone 12

It paired but then all I could do was “forget this device”.

No way to deploy the motor

For the Ulterra owners, this app is useless because there it doesn’t have a “deploy/stow” button. A back-up to the remote would be nice.

Poor app for iPhone

Doesn’t connect to my Minn kota very disappointed. Can’t see a reason why? Could u guys fix this?

Why no Mirror display like Lowrance

You have an app - great. Why not allow the app to pull over a MIRROR VIEW of my Solix screen that is fixed on a 24’ boats center console.

Humminbird has great features but you miss such a simple capability.

Ulterra deploy/stow function needed

Love this app works awesome. I wish developers would add a deploy and stow mode for ulterra.

Useless

This app is useless considering all the things the iPilot Link is supposed to do. It doesn’t integrate with the FishSmart App. It won’t let you create iTracks or perform any of the ‘real’ functions of the gigantic iPilot Link remote. If you have Bluetooth connected between your phone and the trolling motor, your phone will no longer function as a phone. You can make and answer phone calls but you won’t be able to hear each other.

I’ve tried suggesting Siri voice control functions and other enhancements but my emails to MinnKota have been ignored. A “thanks for your input” might have been nice but... During the hours I spend on hold with their support people (who are all very nice), I listening to the pre-recorded marketing schpiel telling us how awesome their products are. People who own and use the already know their software offerings are buggy and/or useless.

Ulterra control app

This would be a great app if you could Deploy and Stow with it.

Not worth the time to connect it

I’m able to connect my phone to the trolling motor via Bluetooth then it tells me I don’t have the app installed

Why bother

Hello developers, why bother making a crap app. If you are going to do something, do it right.
This app needs to made for an Apple Watch that has deploy and stow. Also the anchor lock needs to be able to have a “fix beacon” option for wade fishing. It stays anchored 100, from your “beacon or watch position” this way you don’t have to walk half a mile back to the boat and a “go to” function so you can drive it to your location and pick you up.
If you can’t deploy and stow using this app, why bother creating it, we can’t use it!

Junk

I can connect my Bluetooth to the motor but the app says it’s not connected and won’t let me use it🙄

Ulterra Control

The app is great as a backup in case the remote battery is getting low. Would give 5 stars if they would add a stow/deploy feature to the app for Ulterra users. They have the technology as the Talon app controls stow/deploy.

Convenient for software updating

Paired ok with the motor. You have to keep the pair button pressed until it shows up in phones bluetooth devices list. Updated software in the motor and the remote. Worked well. If the display timed out and locked, seems to cause the software download to fail. Worked great after I changed the display lock time to “never”.

I-Pilot

I-Pilot pops up on my Bluetooth but will not pair it’s a waste of storage
