I have the Riptide Terrova 55# 12v. It took me a minute to figure out the pairing...it kept coming back with "Invalid PIN". I found that if you hold the pairing button on the motor while connecting to the mobile app, it will pair. The existing functions on the app work fine: Prop On/Off; Steer L/R; Auto Pilot; Spot Lock. The Rabbit (full speed) didn't seem to work, but is spotty on my actual remote as well so maybe a motor software update is needed. All this being said, I am disappointed that the other functions of I-Pilot are not in the app. This app only has the functionality of the micro remote (which are just the basic motor controls). Hopefully someday they will include the other functions like course recording, return to saved spot, etc. that are available on the 'big' I-Pilot remote.

it works then it does not. The pairing instructions were wrong. I found the real pairing method by reading through a forum (press and hold down the PAIR button on the top of the trolling motor while you tell your phone to pair with it). I was then able to control the motor turn the propeller on and off, adjust speed, change direction... Then suddenly the connection stopped & I had to reboot my phone. The motor continued to run while I did the reboot which will be a safety issue at some point.

Gets the job done, lacks some features, slow to re-link. If you just don't have your ipilot remote, this is a great backup. If you run into something while your phone is off, you're in trouble. After you turn your phone back on, it takes a couple seconds before it links back up & let's you control the motor. I really wish it let you use some of the more advanced features, like following a track back. Would REALLY be neat if.it could let you use the.phome as a Humminbird substitute.
