The new and improved version of BlueTipz has arrived! BlueTipz by Deep Freeze is the first tip-up alert system sent straight to your smartphone (iPads, iPods, the BlueTipz Receiver, and other mobile devices can also work). When your tip-up is struck, if equipped with a BlueTipz Transmitter, your phone will be alerted. The user has the option to open scan for all BlueTipz Transmitters, or they can just scan for their own. You can also name your transmitters which allows you to know which tip-up has been struck. A Fish Log enables you to store information about your catch, take a picture, and even post to Facebook! To verify your mobile device is compatible, download the most current version BlueTipz mobile app. See DeepFreezeFishing.com for more detailed information.
