## Review summary

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.
