Ratings and reviews

Great as a backup. But frustration for any real changes over the sake of a day. 2 days down (on a remote trip with a remote throwing RF error) and ready to throw the phone in the ocean. Every time the screen locks it has to reconnect. Sometimes up to 30 seconds. (Or a motor restart) To change course or speed. It's not worse than nothing. But atleast with nothing you know what to expect.

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.

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.
