FishHunter is pocket-sized technology that floats on the surface of the water and sends Sonar view via the FishHunter app. It tracks bottom depth, water temperature, fish location and lures to help you find and catch more fish. Even if you have conventional sonar technology, FishHunter gives you access to shallow and vegetative areas you could not reach by boat.

Seems like an okay app

*I’m using this app teamed up with the Fish Hunter 3D on a iPhone XS Max*The app seems alright all and all, but I’ve come across a few things which I’m sure others have probably previously pointed out as well. The first one is, if you have ‘Dark Mode’ enabled on your phone, you can’t see text in certain parts of the app. You have to switch back to the regular setting, in order to see information...that’s kind of annoying. The second thing, it doesn’t fill/fit the screen properly. These larger screened iPhones and other devices have been out for years not. Not sure why the dimensions/resolution hasn’t been adjusted to any fit each screen individually. Otherwise, it’s a pretty handy app.

I received the unit and it came very well packaged. Everything was included including the charger hand strap lanyard and bag. I charged it up as a suggested added the app to my iPhone 8 and in no time got a chance to test it in my pond on my property. I was very interested to see what the depth was since we had it dug and I know that there was some cave in the unit surprisingly gave me a very nice 3-D picture of what I had and the sonar showed me detail of all the different fish that I know that I have stocked in the pond I was very impressed with the unit. you can throw out into any pond or lake that you didn’t know much about and get a picture perfect image of the fish that maybe dwelling in it as well as structure. Living in Florida I don’t have a chance to ice fish any longer but I have done a lot of that in the past and I truly believe this will be a great addition to any ice fishermen choosing to use it this coming winter. Still experimenting with really enjoying it well worth the money

Sonar is fine but the app is awful

No complaints against the actual fish hunter 3D, my gripe is with the app. It never fails to freeze when trying to add a pin on location. Actually the one time it didn’t freeze after trying 3 times, the process felt so cumbersome that it made me forget all about it. It’s not like you can easily view those pins while using your sonar anyways. Making a bathymetric map is cool, but only if you can remember which map you did. There’s no way to name them. What’s the point of maps without names? The most frustrating part though is that the app doesn’t let you view just plain and simple full screen raw sonar data. You have to share half a screen with other information that in most cases is worthless. Yes, the instruction manual for the fish hunter show a button on the top pull down menu when in 3D fishing to view full screen raw. That’s no where to be found on this version of the app. Fix that and I’d bump it up a few stars. Fix all the problems listed and the app would be solid.

I do a lot of bank fishing and now with the FishHunter app, I have the advantage over the other guys down the bank. I just downloaded the app, the FishHunter connected, I tossed it out in front of me and I could see everything! The fish, the snag I kept hitting, everything! I made my adjustments and caught the fish, much to the chagrin of the other guys who didn’t catch anything - lol. I didn’t have any of the issues mentioned in older reviews, whatever Navico did in the upgrade worked beautifully.
