Description
iBobber can now display fish detection and depth info on your Apple Watch!

Love at first cast. The fishfinder that 
syncs with your iPhone or iPad.

There’s a lot to love about iBobber™. It syncs via Bluetooth® Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy Technology) with your iOS device up to 100’ away from a boat, shore, kayak, or pier, so you have a fishfinder with a solid connection, that won't deplete your phone's battery like wi-fi does, a fishfinder that goes up to 8hrs on a charge, that's half the size and weight— a fishfinder that’s as mobile as you are.

The Bluetooth Smart standard is different from the Bluetooth® used in other fishfinders. 
Bluetooth Smart is designed for short messages from nearby devices such as temperature sensors, proximity sensors, and medical devices such as heart monitors, and now sonar signals. 

The iBobber app in conjunction with the iBobber bobber (sold separately) enables you to locate fish up to 135’ under water, GPS Tag favorite hotspots, map the contour o waterbeds, and measure water temperature.

You’ll love that you can save all your fishing adventures with the Trip Log, and share them all on social media. You’ll also love the Lunar Calendar, Fish Alarm, Strike Alarm, Bobber Beacon, Weather sync, and the app’s stunning graphics.

iBobber is for anyone who loves to find fish, and wants to catch more of them.
 Just cast the bobber (sold separately) and Ping! the iBobber app syncs via Bluetooth Smart and displays where the fish are. 



The iBobber app is designed for one-handed use, and can help make fishing more fun 
than it's ever been. Even if you have a boat-mounted fishfinder, iBobber can free
 you from seeing fish only under your boat.  And finding more fish is always a lot
 more fun than just fishing!

It does what it should, one suggestion

I’ll probably write more reviews in the future because this does seem like a simple dashboard with simple controls. One thing I find kind of bothersome that I think should be implemented in the next update is keeping the screen from auto locking when you are waterbed mapping. I mean seriously, the phone already does this when you’re watching a video or movie. It’s kind of annoying to have to go into their phone settings and keep it from going to sleep every 10 seconds. I click auto mapping, and I’m trying to see the screen while I’m using my hands to handle the reel, but I have to stop every 10 seconds and click the screen to keep it from falling asleep. Please fix this in the next update! Thx!

Dock Fishing

Haven’t used for anything but fishing off our dock. Fun to use and see fish but obviously doesn’t guarantee a fish bite.

It Works!

We love iBobber. Always in my tackle box when bank fishing. A little fish finder on the go. Also, please continue to update the app. I was glad to see an update this week. Good product!

App crashes

I have a new iPhone & iPad. When I click connect for my iBobber the app closes as soon as it says connected. I open the app back up & iBobber is not connected. I try to repeat & same result. It does it on both the iPhone & iPad!

Could not register

Well I really wanted to like this product but since purchasing as a Christmas gift, we can’t even register for an account to use the darn thing! We get a “Could Not Register. Server problem. Try again in a few minutes.” Well it’s been MANY attempts through the MANY minutes since Christmas. We have tried deleting the app to re download it. Tried on an android and apple phone, and still get the same message. I guess I just bought an expensive paper weight!

Bummer…

I really wanted to like this but it periodically asks you to enter the purchase date every 40 seconds. After clicking “do not ask again” it begins to ask every 20 seconds. After about the 20th time entering my purchase date, i promptly disconnected from the ibobber and began to enjoy my fishing trip. The hardware seems decent, but the software makes this virtually unusable.

Not good

This device will only connect inside your house once you step out of your house then it will just buffer over and over and over for a long time. And I’ve tried and tried and tried to make it work with this product is just a useless bobber
