## What is RipaLip University?

Learn how to quickly and easily setup, tweak and dial-in your marine electronics with RipaLip University!  

WHAT YOU'LL GET:
· Access – The RipaLip University app helps you setup, tweak and dial-in your marine electronics by making it convenient for anglers to retrieve technical information, tips, and settings while they are on the water, when and where they need it the most.

· Education – Browse through more than 150 pieces of marine electronics equipment. Begin with the Quick Start Guide for step-by-step instructions to make sure your electronics are ready for fishing and navigation.  If you need more details, review the Advanced Reference Guide, Installation and Networking information, FAQs, How-To Videos and more!   Eliminate the need to review cumbersome and lengthy manufacturer owner’s manuals or search YouTube for more information.

· Personalization – RipaLip University’s My Rig section allows you to customize the app by adding quick access to all the gear on your boat.  As you dial-in your electronics for a particular body of water, create a custom Cheatsheet and fill in your settings. Use the add custom settings option to include any additional information, water clarity, moon phase, water temp, spawn phase, lure, wind, whatever helps you. Lastly the notes section gives you a place to put in more details, waypoints, etc. You can save, edit and add information as often as you like

· Cost-effective – RipaLip University offers two versions of the app. The Angler version gives you access to all guides and features for one piece of gear.  The Pro version offers unlimited access to all gear in the app.

 “Regardless of your expertise level, anglers rely on some type of marine electronics for navigation, fish and structure location. But after spending thousands of dollars on marine electronics, anglers are oftentimes frustrated with the complexity of settings and choices that vary based on electronics manufacturer. RipaLip University will end anglers’ frustration and deliver piece-of-mind to anglers right there on the water, in the palm of their hands.”

 - David Janiszewski, RipaLip Owner and Founder.

### 1/5 — Disappointed!

*2025-06-16, version 3.1.3*

I so much looked forward to this app to help me with my new Lowrance, but my Eagle9 is not included. Feeling misled!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-03-05, version 3.1.3*

Equipment list is way outdated on website

### 1/5 — None of the electronics on my boat are covered!

*2024-11-06, version 3.1.2*

No coverage for Garmin 8616’s, Fantom Radar, GXM 54. Nor for FLIR camera, ICOM VHF, and AIS Transceiver/Transducer, Fusion Stereo.

### 3/5 — Panoptix & Livescope setting

*2024-09-18, version 3.1.2*

I just downloaded and subscribed to the pro version. Will there be any upgrades to help with Pan optics and live scope settings?

### 1/5 — No Garmin UHD2

*2024-07-31, version 3.1.2*

There are no Garmin UHD2 selections! Won’t be able to learn my unit now.

### 1/5 — Fish finder not found

*2024-06-09, version 3.1.2*

Only two versions of Garmin in the app and neither of them are mine

### 1/5 — Not for Garmin GPSmap users

*2023-12-07, version 3.1.2*

Cannot add Garmin GPSmap chartplotters or Radar to “Gear” - pretty worthless app if you’re looking for Garmin support

### 5/5 — Useful

*2022-12-17, version 3.0.3*

RipaLip App for fish finders has been very useful.  Some say that it simply provides a lot of information that is already on the internet, and to a degree this is true, but the app goes further, allowing you to  easily access quick start guides, advanced guides, videos, AND save notes about settings used for different bodies of water.  Why rely on google searches when you can have it all in one App.  RipaLip owner is very helpful when it comes to any questions regarding products.

### 5/5 — Garmin

*2022-04-19, version 3.0.3*

Waiting for garmin update

Updated review great tool now that garmins are updated on the app

### 5/5 — Wish I would have known about this app when I bought my unit

*2022-04-11, version 3.0.3*

I’ve been on this group for less than an hour. Scrolling through all the posts and come across this app. Didn’t even know it existed. 

I’ve had my Elite 9 for over a year and just trying to muddle my way through the setup. (Never used electronics on my boats).  Got the app, paid my $10 and now I know how to set up my unit. THANKS!
