Do you know if its connecting Bluetooth or Wi-Fi? I only ask because the Sea Legs app surprising connects via a local Wi-Fi network INSTEAD of Bluetooth as I would have expected. Also, another quirk with the Sea Legs app is the Sea Legs do not show up for potential Wi-Fi networks unless I switch off and then back on my Wi-Fi. If I just click into my Wi-Fi options on my iPhone to look for available networks, it wont show until flipping Wi-Fi off and then back on.
Wondering of the Ultra Legs app connects in a similarly wonky kind of way too. Maybe worth trying out.
I was just informed by the dealer that you need a Bluetooth adapter to get the iPhone app to work. You would think that it would be standard these days but I get the feeling they need to control costs.
Anybody have any impressions if Ultra Legs is a financially solid company. The instructions and website seem to behind Sea Legs.

I don’t know. My impression is they are just a smaller company. However, I’ve heard good things about their legs. Maybe its just a market area thing between which of the two is more accessible to get put on a boat.
As a side note, the Bluetooth adaptor is $600. Something to consider if you are looking at Sea Legs vs Ultra Legs from a price point.

$600? That would totally be the difference maker for me since the price is otherwise the same. Yikes! Glad connectivity is simply bundled with the Sea Legs.

I try to use the iPhone app for sea legs but it seldom works. It doesn’t accept the password most of the time.

Your app requires a password? Hmmm... Once I connect my phone Wi-Fi to the Sea Legs, all I do is open the app and hit the “power” button in the top right of the app. There is no password to type in. Not sure what’s up with a password. However, are you connecting to the Sea Legs in your Wi-Fi (NOT Bluetooth) settings?
Also...as an aside, my remote has not worked at all, and we’ve been unable to get it to work. Sea Legs said there is a software issue. IF one connects their Sea Legs system to the app system via Wi-Fi, then the remote wont reconnect. They said they are working on it, but did not have any fixes yet.
