bug fix

User reviews

Horrible, don’t waste your money

As soon as you try to click any buttons on the screen it kicks you from the app. Do not buy

Help

Only opens for a second then crashes. I got this iPad for this app only .. dang hope they patch this soon .."....

Doesn’t work on iPhone

App crashes immediately on trying to connect so it’s useless . This product shouldn’t be sold until it can actually be used. Only way to use this as a depth sounder is to throw the sounder in the water and measure the cable after the sounder hits the bottom.

Bud fixes required

Works fine connecting to my old iphoge7 iOS 15.8.3 but can’t connect with my iPhone 13 running iOS 18.3.2. Only way for it to work at the moment is as slave through the old iPhone 7. I like this fish finder and will keep using if the bugs are fixed.

Doesn’t connect to iPhone

It used to connect but now it won’t. Tried everything from SE to 14. Of course it happens on the biggest fishing trip of the year

What are the compatibility and pricing options?
