Any of you out there use a Deeper with a tablet instead of a phone? Which tablet do you use please?
Pretty much any I would think, it connects to my Amazon Fire with no problems.

I have used it with the wifes Gen1 16GB iPad Air with no problems. TBH any that supports the latest Deeper App for the operating system would be fine. They reckon that Apple devices have a lower working distance but no problems with 100yds or so with the iPad or my phone (even with cellular data turned on!)

Yep, I use an iPad with the Deeper. I stick it on the tripod I have for the camera. Not had any issues with range but not used it at its theoretical max distance anyway.

Same here, if possible could you advise on the app you use on the Amazon Fire.......
I assume a Amazon Fire and kindle fire are the same thing

Ref this and post 6.
I just downloaded the app from play store and set it as you would through your phone's wifi/bluetooth. Sorry for the either or, I used it months ago and haven't touched it since and even then I found it easier to handle a phone and a rod than use the tablet.
My Grandson has now 'claimed' my tablet and has filled it to capacity with games for 3 year olds so i cannot go over it again.
Sorry for the glib reply but it really was pretty straight forward.
As for whether Amazon Fire and Kindle Fire are similar - I have no idea. Ask a youngster

I use mine with a tablet, it's a small 'acer' android tablet, I think it runs on android 6 so any tablet with v6 or later will be fine, it was only a cheap one, £35 brand new from curry's on the high street, it has a 7" screen which is handy if you have to wear glasses like me I was a bit worried about the range with such a cheap tablet but it works up to 60/70 ish yards

does anyone know how to connect a deeper to a amazon fire
access the Google Play Store. Download the latest version of the Deeper App that they have there & follow the prompts when setting up for first time. If you cannot access the Play Store for whatever reason, then you will need a different device or get someone that knows what they are doing with Android devices & ROOT it before installing a bog standard Android ROM onto it.

MarkeR, why do you think it only works up to 60/70 yards on your Acer tablet?

Galaxy Tab A8 . . .on a bracket, on a tripod . . .works well - range circa 100yds (don't generally fish any further than this anyway and most of the time cannot see the boats orientation anyway at this range!)
Tablet also useful for work / porn-hub / movies after dark etc. . . .great battery life - does a 48hr sesh using deeper and watching dwarf sex on both evenings no prob . . .

Pornhub 😂 I use a iPad on a tripod for my deeper I get very good range with it compared to some others apparently 🤷♀️

Phones are all so small that fitting in a decent antenna is a real challenge, you cannot change the laws of physics despite one of my customers trying to say a tiny little ceramic antenna will match a 1/4 wave dipole!
The the WiFi performance will always be lower on a phone than nearly all tablets.
I have used several phones and several tablets with my Deeper Pro and the previous Deeper model (can't remember its name now). For best results I mount the device on a tripod/ storm pole..the higher the better. Tablet always gives better range. My current phone (a compact model) is only any good up to about 50-60m but with the tablets I have never had a range problem (normally fish less than 100m).

So does anybody know if there are differences in performance according to the operating system of the tablet? Would a Samsung be better or worse than an iPad for example?
