User Reviews

Users appreciate the app as a backup control and for basic on-phone control and firmware updates. However, recurring Bluetooth pairing problems, lack of deploy/stow controls, and update issues are common drawbacks. There is strong demand for an Apple Watch app to provide hands-free control, with some users praising the potential, while others note its absence as a limitation. Overall, it’s useful as a backup with notable opportunities for reliability and feature parity improvements.
Pros
  • Backup control for the trolling motor when the main remote is unavailable.
  • Basic trolling motor control from the iPhone.
  • Ability to update motor firmware and troubleshoot via the app.
  • Strong user interest in Apple Watch integration as a hands-free option.
Cons
  • Unreliable Bluetooth pairing/connection across devices; frequent connectivity failures.
  • No in-app deploy/stow control; must rely on the physical remote.
  • Occasional update issues and false 'already up to date' messages.
  • Phone unlocking/initialization can be slow and cumbersome.
  • Watch app is not available yet; high demand for watch compatibility.

There is not deploy/stow on the remote, how was that overlooked in production?? Worse, this app suddenly stopped pairing with my phone and I had to download I Pilot Link for it to work. No notification, just an inoperative app for controls only. I’m looking forward to getting my remote repaired and returned to me. Don’t rely on this.
