Underwater Drones
Free · Designed for iPad
The Blueye app lets you control your Blueye Underwater drone form your iOS device. Download your underwater videos or dive logs from your drone to your iPhone or iPad.
The Blueye app lets you control your Blueye underwater drone from your iPhone or iPad. Choose between the touch interface or connecting an MFi-licensed wireless gaming controller to control the drone.
The app shows telemetry data from the drone, such as depth, heading, orientation, water temperature, and battery level, as well as a full HD 1080p/30fps video stream.
After your dive, the app lets you download a dive log to your device, as well as any video or pictures captured from your underwater inspection.
