Minn Kota i-Pilot for Negative User Reviews

✓ What is the point of this app unless you let your remote.I was so excited to see this app as I thought it would actually be used to control my boat using maps. BuT NO. They keep that functionality restricted to their junky fish finders..BassmantweedVersion: 1.4

✓ No deploy/stow functionalityI still have to use the clunky remote to deploy and stow the motor, so the app is of limited use..LanceatchisonVersion: 1.8

✓ I-Pilot Link AppMy I-Remote that controls my Ulterra went out so I connected my iPhone to the trolling motor to try to stow and/or control it, and found out the app does not have an option to stow it. I was about 10 miles offshore and had to take apart the trolling motor to get it to stow which was not fun. I have an Ulterra and even bought a backup Terrova because I rely on my trolling motor so much and have so many issues with them..TexanInFLAVersion: 1.7

✓ Can’t Deploy or Store Ulterra RiptideI was disappointed to find the app doesn’t have functionality to deploy or store my Ulterra Riptide. So having this app as a backup in case I have remote issues simply won’t work if I can’t deploy or store my motor. The only real use to is to software updates, which it did well..John_H_Version: 1.6

✓ Never got it to pair with my phone.I am very tech savvy and could not get this app to pair with the motor..BegginnerVersion: 2.3

✓ Will not update I-pilotWill not update I-pilot or controller. Says already up to date but still has old version numbers.Lmbass74Version: 1.5

✓ Apple Watch Control PleaseApp worked pretty well with my Terrova 80# when my remote went missing. It’s a bit cumbersome to unlock phone and wait for it to initialize every time I want to make a move but did the job. This is the PERFECT candidate for an Apple Watch app. It needs to happen ASAP. It would take very little development and could be a huge selling point. I would use it all the time..S.A.ErikVersion: 1.6

✓ SpeedThe app works fine but you can’t change the speed display from m/h to km/h, also the app doesn’t have all the buttons that are on the remote..AgehsjdVersion: 1.4

✓ GPS chartsI don’t understand if you can remotely use the trolling motor from your phone and have gps to the phone why would you not make the i pilot app not work as a chart plotter with the trolling motor it’s all there with some software updates. It would just make more sense and cut costs of a link or other cart plotters just by using the phone. Much more appealing option to owning a Minn Kota i pilot with blue tooth.Jj84461Version: 1.7

✓ Apple Watch!The Apple Watch is perfect for this. Simply use for spotlock, thrust and turn. Keep my phone in the pocket!.RyGanleyVersion: 1.9

✓ Deploy/stow capabilityMy biggest fear is I get out there and my main remote fails and I can’t deploy or stow the motor. I have a micro remote as backup, but it can’t either. Seems like an easy thing to add..Oliveoil12345Version: 2.3

✓ Minn kota app for I phoneThis would be good if you could deploy and stow the motor. I guess they forgot that. It is good that you can update motor through the app though.Targa19Version: 2.3

✓ No buttons to stow or deploy auto deploy unitsThis app could easily be configured for users with auto deploy motors. If I was to loose my remote over board with my motor deployed this app would be super handy if you could stow or deploy your motor Well worth the upgrade if you ask me.FryzinVersion: 1.7

✓ Nice backupIt’s nice to have a backup for my remote. Would be awesome if you added it to the Apple Watch..Sean.ATLVersion: 1.8
