Deeper - Smart Fishfinder

I've had this app now for about a year with the deeper Pro Plus sonar. I first started using it in the winter months when the fish are more lethargic and don't move around that often. It is very valuable for shore fishing. In the warmer months I don't use it that often. The app definitely has room for improvement. The maps are not very impressive and the mapping function of the Pro Plus is spotty and not very accurate. Quite often the data doesn't get saved. Be sewn or is very impressive and accurate. Of course they fish or in submerged cover you're not going to be able to mark the fish. It's great for marking fish suspended. Overall pretty happy with it. The app could be a lot better though. One suggestion would be to put fish marker icon overlays on the map we're fish were marked. Also the entire mapping feature needs a drastic upgrade.

Update 11/15/19- app no longer works, starts the app and a then black screen. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same result. Now I have a $300 paper weight. My question is... why fix it when it wasnt broken in the first place? Original review- Awesome, but 1 thing missing.... You need a scale on the cartography portion. its nice to see a map with your contour lines, but having a scale would help determine how far away a POI is. Should be an easy fix for your next update... wink wink.

Now that it is pretty rare to be able to find small inland waters to fish, I've been trying to adapt to the river & reservoir systems. I had some difficulty, since a boat hadn't been an option for me. With this app (& associated hardware) I've been able to improve things a lot, simply because upon arrival at any of the dozen public areas nearby, I can make a few casts & see if baitfish & larger fish are in the area. Don't know what they are, or if feeding, etc., But the fish in these larger waters move around a LOT, & I've saved so much time fishing water, that for whatever reason aren't in that section of the river then!!😂😂😁

The classic Deeper app works just perfect for me. Very easy and intuitive interface, and plenty of features. The history of the app, together with the mappings done in GPS mode are loading quite fast, so you can always know what's around you, in case you've been there before. Sometimes I use the sonar for trolling, and the maps help me a lot with avoiding underwater structures and low depths. Currently using the app on my smartphone as well as on my tablet. Looking forward to use the new app!

Hi, i am using the Deeper pro plus since 2 years now. Itself, the deeper is very good if he didn't lose the connection all the time. I mainly use it from a rowboat. Even if mobile data is deactivated on the cell phone, it often takes a long time to establish a connection and the connection is not constantly maintained. that's a real shame. Could be better. So only 3/5 stars, and the battery life could be longer too... But the presentation and the different opportunities are great.

Great app, apart from a few points I think should be addressed: 1. Should be able to set max depth manually. 2. Deeper chirp+ beam angles are listed as low, medium, high instead of narrow, mid, wide. This causes some confusion. 3. Shallow mode should be ignorable, or configured to shallower. (I still want configuration in waters around 2 meters.). 4. Sometimes if you take out your (chirp in this case) until it goes into sleep, you have to manually go into manage deeper and reconnect next time. 5. I don't like how stuff on the bottom turns green on the default scheme, I want all my data to be of the same color scheme, so I can determine the strength of the return. The deeeper unit itself seems to be of good quality, but the app could use some more features and fixes.

Original app was great with easy access to preferences. The new app crashes constantly with too many questions and confirmations required to return to session which is SERIOUSLY inconvenient while on a kayak. Also, after the install my Deeper only lasts 4 to 5 hours. I can only assume it's because I CANNOT turn off the gps and speed functionality which uses more capacity. So all these factors combined makes for a frustrating day on the water. Please allow us to install the old application.

I personally really like the app updates. It works fine on my Nexus 6P. I particularly like the fact that it shows the time and phone battery level in the header. I used to hate having to close the app to check those. My only suggestion is to improve the fish icons. They are currently just a flat solid orange color. The same orange color that gets used by the detailed view. When on a big school, a lot of times all that orange just blends together into one big solid mass that is hard to understand. Give the fish icons a border or something to make them stand apart when they are on top of each other and to differentiate them from the chart data a bit more.

Wish WiFi signal stronger in residential areas, if the signal is being interfered with by other WiFi signals the deeper sonar can not be used due to that interference. I tried this product on a lake with cabins and other buildings that had WiFi I could not connect to the device because it could not be found. Other then that this product does exactly what it is suppose to do. Thank you for this product it has helped me find fish faster, and it has been a great addition to my tackle box, everyone that has asked about this product has been impressed by what is does :)

This app used to be incredible. So much functionality and so easy to use. Since the last update, I cant access the POI, Calandar, and Weather at all through the app and the offline maps do not work under any circumstance on my Samsung S7. If you are thinking about buying Deeper, HOLD OFF until this app issue is resolved. The app is what makes (or breaks) this product. I'm begging you deeper, please restore the previous app version. It was..... Perfect, truly awesome app.

Excellent sonar, never used a sonar before but deeper has a good manual and the deeper academy 1 thru 4 and learned very quickly how to use it. IT has definitely helped me find and catch fish. The only drawback to me is battery life but it is what they say so I can't rate it less for that. My phone battery was more of a problem at first but then I tried it on battery saver mode(everything still worked well with the app) and the phone now has more life then the sonar.

So much potential ! But sadly nowhere near as good as it could be ... the deeper unit is great just the apps (And lakebook) let it down so much 😥 . Few tweaks I would add are . 1 be able to pin fish and check/uncheck said pins . 2 lock the nasty auto rotate on the map so when you drag it to the view you like best it stays . 3 add satellite view with adjustable capacity to the app . There is a few more but this would straight away make the app so much better ....

This app is struggling. Crashes constantly. Love their hardware, and love the basic features, but it's unusable right now. Hope they can get it fixed :-( I don't need lots of their features (weather,POI,etc). Wish they would just stabilize the absolute core functionality of showing depth data I've recorded

Warned you during the testing period this was not ready to ship, its worse then the previous app, less intuitive, less features, less clarity. Its a downgrade across the board and i know i was not the only person ti tell you such. Yet you pushed it anyway? How about actually listening to your testers feedback for once. Put the old app back up and leave this one optional until its as good as the old version. Until then no way dont use... and you may have lost 2 customers because the new app.

Deeper Chirp shows a lot more detailed information than previous Deepers. The main difference i've noticed it doesn't disconnect at all. I've done 3 fishing trips with Chirp so far and not even one problem, fished in 80 yards distance. Battery charging a lot quicker as well. 10 out 10. Well done.

Had zero problems until the app updated and had no luck with it working this weekend. Water had plenty of depth, wifi connected as well. It's the deeper pro plus, would give this a 5 star rating but y fix something that isn't broke. In other words before the app updated it worked great and now it dont.

Got the old app version back on android, wooohooooo. First off customer service is phenomenal and they have helped every step of the way. My deeper pro works flawlessly and literally stays solid even in choppy water or whatever I throw at it. Chirp, to be determined. I have no doubt it will run flawless after seeing how much they care about the product and customer service. Thanks!

Perfect devices (especially Chirp+)! I use Deeper every time I go fishing. But lots of app sync issues: not all sessions are saved, some sessions at the same lake are merged, some not. No possibility to download all previous sessions at once after changing the phone.

Found this app very easy to set up and use. Unfortunately it has been replaced by an inferior version Fish Deeper that is much less user friendly and has a tendency to disconnect fron my Pro plus and its a real pain getting it to reconnect.

love it. Yes signal can drop sometimes but no different to drones etc. i found works better out of my case. used 3 times and caught fish. cant rate enough. only issue is the solunar calendar has different reports to other calendars online. raised it with deeper and they said try update which i have. but thays no reflection on the device. 5/5

KEY TIP: Turn off the VPN on your phone for reliable connections to the sonar unit. There are reviews of frustrated anglers giving low ratings due to unreliable wifi connections and this was my initial experience too. However, after stopping my VPN app I get reliable results and at first I couldn't get much fishing done because it was more fun to explore with the sonar. However, I used Deeper to locate a breakline on a very difficult lake to fish and that spot has been producing big fish!

The deeper app stores all its data and application data on the mobile phone internal storage. This is gigabytes of data which fills my phone up. There should be an option to have all the deeper data stored on the sd memory card. Please can this be considered. Apart from that I think the deeper pro+ chirp is fantastic.

I owned a very cheap sonar and was ok never lost signal no matter what. Upgraded to deeper pro+ as all videos and reviews very good. But not the case for me no matter where i use it it will always keep loosing signal or says to shallow or deep. Wast of time.

Deeper is great. That said with the new update I'm unable to view history no matter the lake it crashes. I have yet to use the app in real time. But I'm sure they will fix it and it will always be the best fish locator for shore fishing.
