I purchased a Fish Spy at what i thought was a good price. (£59) Had a quick look to set it up but website seems to have vanished. Just like to know if anyone has downloaded the App recently and where from?

I don't think it uses an app does it? I'm sure you just enter an address into a web browser and it connects through wifi?
Just checked looks like there is/was an app. You don't need it to use it mind you.

Paul are you on Android? I just searched FishSpy on my iPhone and the App pops up straight away along with the other one you mentioned.

Yes i am on Android and it does not show up when i visit Googles app store nor if i type Fishspy app as a google search. I have now managed to get the Camera working and it looks like i don't need the App anyway as mentioned above. Phew! what a palaver! (yes it is in the Apple store and i think you do need it for apple devices)
Thanks for the help /advice folks.

They are getting sold off for £59 because Total Fishing Gear not longer exists.

Hi, by looks for Android, Fish Spy don't use a App, you pair in WiFi, then just find it in your Phone etc's, Browser.
Apple looks like it as a App in App store.
Watch video lad as posted.

They are very good IMO.
I am fishing a hugely weedy water, its so bad in summer you could practically play tennis on it, ok a bit far fetched, but it's bad. A lot of people slag them off but I don't think they give them time and work out how to properly use them for instance, like turning off mobile data which in my experience really increases range.
I cast mine out at weekend hunting around for a good clear spot only about 21 wraps or so and found a perfect spot with it. My biggest problem is forgetting to turn the recording off and checking later to find I have a 956mb file.
I like it that much I have now adapted a second Bushwhacker spoon I have (originally bought two pole systems) to mechanically fix it using a bracket which is bolted back to the spoon. I now have the Fishspy and my Chirp + right alongside each other and I use a tripod with a holder which carries my Note phone and a Galaxy tablet and the result at weekend when I used that first time to sneak it under some bushes and find a nice clear spot surrounded by weed, was a beautifully scaled common within 15 minutes weighing 22lbs.
Incredible being able to see what your Chirp reading actually means when you have relatively clear water like I did up to about 1.5m
Love mine and when necessary I can just detach it and launch it out. One of the best bits of kit personally I have ever used.

In response to some replies, i got mine from Angling Direct for £59, i have got it working and you DO NOT need an App. for Android which i use but you do for Apple and the App is in store.
I plan to use mine in addition to the echo sounder on my Baitboat, i fish a pretty weedy shallow water mostly 5 foot or less and its pretty clear most of the time so i think it should be a great help. I can't wait to see if the spots i have been fishing are what i think they are!!
Thanks again for the help.

FYI you don't need the app for Apple. Just pair it to the wifi with the code then punch in 192.168.4.101 to safari.
That may be useful for anyone as android or Apple update going forwards, as I found them to be a little behind the updates. Now that TF gear are no longer I can imagine they won't be making any further updates at all!

On my spod rod, I use a size 1/0 coastlock snap swivel so I can quickly change spombs between medium and large. Could i use the same on a marker rod, so if I had a fishspy I could change between that and a conventional marker float?

Fishspy recommend you tie the float directly to your braid, think that is because anything you use to attach it will block the cameras view?
