Description

As the name implies, SonarPhone turns your smartphone or tablet into a fully functional touch screen sonar system that will rival the performance of sonar systems costing hundreds more. You don’t need cell phone coverage to use it, the SonarPhone Sonar Transmitter will work anywhere in the world. The SonarPhone transmitter creates its own WiFi hotspot and you can share its signal with as many people as you wish or password protect it just for yourself.

To use the SonarPhone App in anything other than “Demo Mode” you will need to connect to an existing SonarPhone Sonar WiFi Transmitter or purchase one of the three options yourself. The T-POD (SP100) is a ultra portable WiFi transmitter systems that has a self contained battery and can be pulled behind your boat, cast or thrown from shore. The T-BOX (SP200) is a more permanently mounted system that is mounted in a boat with access to a 12 volt power supply (not included). Or the T-BOX (SP300) which is the T-BOX mounted on its own 12 volt battery pack to make it more portable.

SonarPhone delivers a multi-color color display plus it offers a robust menu of features you will be able to “Test Drive” by downloading this SonarPhone App and play the system in the “DEMO” setting.

The SonarPhone App includes 17 language options: English, Spanish, German, Polish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, Finnish, Russian, Italian, Czech, Danish, French, Swedish and Greek.

For a limited time, all SonarPhone Sonar/Transmitter systems come with a bonus gift! A SmartPhone neoprene armband so you will have easy and safe access to your phone display at all times.

Highly recommend, incredible value!!

Completely changed my review from 2 stars to 4. I now highly recommend this app. Important trick, you can drag from the gain arrow buttons in any direction to make them behave like a slider, but only in the direction of the button you initially touched. If you use SonarPhone with the Navonics app, you have the best value in boating/fishing electronics period. The interface still needs a lot of work but I can now live with it. The only big omission now is no real time only display. Come on Vexilar, give me a five star update soon.

Update: with the real time bar now bigger and color coded I really love this app and product. This is something I asked for and they said they would do it and they did. So why not five stars yet? The interface is still not great. It would be so much better if they just used the built in iOS interfaces for the menus. For example when changing chart speed if you want to go from say 60% to 100% you have to make four large swipes where with the iOS selection wheels you could do it in one simple slide. Good thing menu items aren't frequently changed though so…

Nearly perfect.

Overall good app and product!

I am very pleased with the product and the app that comes with it is nice. The app has good functionality and just like it says gives you the visual display like higher priced depth finders. Having the ability to use more than one device at a time is also a nice feature. It seems somewhat laggy at times but overall it is minor when it occurs. The app seems older looking but that is understandable due to older and other devices that can run it which is nice that i can use my old iPhone 4 when my 6s plus runs out of battery or just as a backup. I give this app a 2 thumbs up overall and a 4 star rating. 👍👍

Outdated

I have the iPhone 11 and the app looks old. I have hard time reading the top and bottom because it doesn’t fit right on the screen.
