About iBobber
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, a few suggestions
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! Another thing I think would be very useful is to be able to toggle sensitivity and range especially for flasher mode. I got the whole circle, but if I’m fishing and only 10 feet of water it doesn’t do me good that I can’t see a blip at four or six feet I think this app has a lot of potential but I don’t think whoever pushes the updates has used this app once since it’s released.
