Minn Kota i-Pilot

I still have to use the clunky remote to deploy and stow the motor, so the app is of limited use.

This app works great for what it needs to be. It’s an app that lets you perform basic functions from your phone should you need to. I’m tired of the crocodile tears about not having functionality to control your boat from your Apple Watch. Get over it man. Minnkota gives you all the control you need with both the foot pedal and the Bluetooth remote. Too heavy? Please... you only wish you had that much weight on your pole.

My 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.

I 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

Come out with Apple Watch app already!

App works well with the unit.....but who wants to have their phone out....or the heavy remote that comes with the unit around their neck?!? Apple Watch capable app is the answer to all my prayers....lol. And the crown better turn the unit or increase/decrease speed. Just my 2 cents.

App 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.

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

Best app on the App Store

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.
