Won’t connect

As other reviews have mentioned, this app doesn’t work any more. I was able to get my iPhone to connect to the device in Bluetooth settings (with some trouble), but the app still can’t find the device.

I HOPE the SOS button on the side of the device will still work, but I’m a little apprehensive about relying on it since the app doesn’t. Sure happy I renewed the yearly contract for $200 🙄

Useless as an emergency tool

Been a SPOT user since gen 1 and a SPOT connect since its release. App & unit unusable after iOS 9, if I get it to connect it then goes to "sleep" after a few minutes and will not reconnect the it's Bluetooth connection for days. I've rebooted the phone, changed expensive lithium batteries in the unit and tried every tip hey give but the device just cannot be counted upon to work in an emergency any more. SPOT discontinued the item but still gladly takes my money for a messaging account. I'm going to look into Delorme's offering :/

Bluetooth issues

Having difficulty establishing Bluetooth connection on an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.2 and the 1.6 version of the app... Even with new batteries installed, hope this gets resolved soon.

FAQ

What does the SPOT Connect App do?

The SPOT Connect App pairs with the SPOT Connect satellite messenger device to enable sending messages and location data via satellite. It allows users to send custom messages, predefined alerts, and emergency SOS signals from areas without cellular coverage.

What are the key features of the SPOT Connect App?

Key features include sending SOS emergency requests with GPS location, requesting help from contacts, sending 'Check-in/OK' messages with location, and automated 'Track Progress' to share your journey. It also supports custom message composition and managing contact groups.

Is the SPOT Connect App free to use?

The SPOT Connect App itself is free to download and use. However, it requires the SPOT Connect satellite messenger device, which has its own associated costs and potentially service plans for satellite communication.

What devices is the SPOT Connect App compatible with?

The app is designed to sync wirelessly via Bluetooth with Apple iOS devices, including iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It turns these devices into satellite messengers when paired with the SPOT Connect device.

How can I use the SPOT Connect App for safety?

The app's SOS feature sends an emergency request with your GPS location to GEOS, which alerts appropriate worldwide agencies. The 'Help/SPOT Assist' feature allows you to request assistance from friends, family, or professional services, providing peace of mind in remote or challenging situations.
