Fish Deeper - Fishing App

For $200 it’s not worth the price. It does not work under 3-4ft of water. Connectivity to phone is choppy at times, especially when you’re in an area of poor phone reception. It does not map nor save depth charts for you even after you scan a lake. You can see the depth as you’re boating around, but it doesn’t save nor add it to the maps on the app. The fish detection does appear accurate at times as I’ve caught a few fish when it says there are fish. The app features are very basic and not much options are available to switch between. The ball itself is way too heavy to cast unless you have a heavy rated rod with very strong line. This now requires you to carry 1 additional rod when you’re shore fishing. Battery life is very good, but your phone battery will drain quickly because it needs to be on consistently with max brightness in order to see it while you’re outdoor. In conclusion, for half the price it’s decent, but I wouldn’t buy it for full price. I bought mine for 32% off and still decided to returned it.

Want to risk a private waterway’s privacy? Create an account and boat/gps scan it. Anyone will then be able to view its location with your depersonalized data. So sure, it’s not your exact scan, but the location is given away…I even see a dirt access road traced out; which is insanely weird, because it was named… along with the body of water (both of which are nameless on any other map you could possibly find). Someone created bogus information... And apparently, you need to “own” the land to have blue pin removed from global maps… I need to text owner to inform them their property is at risk. Essentially a scheme to give away locations to all the grubs who pay, or scan their way into Premium. Another thing is; nowhere do they mention guest mode keeps your scans off global maps, I found that in here as a response to someone else’s review. Never making an account would be your best bet if you happen to have a honey hole. All I can really do is chuckle though, most people would be fooled by the fish in the spot I scanned. They know who’s boss.

Still learning how best to use this, but I’m enjoying at least knowing the depth and structure that I’m fishing. Having never had a sonar (or a boat!), I’m not aware of all the limitations, and it seems to work well for me as a shore fisherman. I know now where some deeper spots are that I can cast to - I find that I can only cast the sensor about as far as I can cast. It loses connection sometimes, but I think that if it stops for a more lent, it reconnects. The first couple of times I went out I dedicated a rod to it, but lately I just carry it in my shirt pocket. It’s light enough. I use 10-pound test, and it seems secure. It’s sort of a trick to cast it far if you’re not used to that much weight. I probably get about 75-80 feet. Fun product, thanks.
