Quick take
Wireless Bluetooth alarm transmitters for ice fishing tip-ups that send alerts to smartphones and include visual LED signaling.
This two-pack puts two Bluetooth transmitters in the box, and each one attaches to a tip-up and sends a strike alert to the free BlueTipz app on iOS or Android. Each transmitter weighs 1.4 ounces and runs on one AAA battery, and the pack includes both batteries. A transmitter reaches a phone about 1,000 feet away on its own, and past 1,750 feet with the optional receiver. Its multi-color LED is programmable, its accelerometer starts in tip-up mode, and its sealed push-button works with gloves on. Because each unit can be named in the app, two tip-ups can be told apart before anyone walks out to the holes.

Common questions
Does the BlueTipz 2 pack need a phone to send alerts?
The two transmitters send Bluetooth Low Energy signals, so they need no cell signal. Alerts reach the free BlueTipz app on a phone within about 1,000 feet, or the separate BlueTipz receiver, which blinks and beeps when a strike comes in. Each transmitter can be used with either path.
How far does the BlueTipz 2 pack transmitter reach?
Each transmitter reaches a phone about 1,000 feet away with nothing else in the setup. Adding the BlueTipz receiver between the transmitter and the phone pushes the range past 1,750 feet. The receiver itself reaches 600 feet to a transmitter and 600 feet back to a phone.
What batteries come with the BlueTipz 2 pack transmitters?
The pack includes two AAA batteries, one for each of its two transmitters, and each transmitter weighs 1.4 ounces. Each transmitter's LED is multi-color and can be programmed, and its accelerometer defaults to tip-up mode.
Can the BlueTipz 2 pack transmitters go on tip-downs as well as tip-ups?
Yes. The transmitters attach to tip-ups, tip-downs and automatic hook setters, and most standard tip-ups need no adapter. The push-button switch is sealed and works with gloves on, so it can be used in cold weather.
How do you tell two BlueTipz transmitters apart in the app?
Each transmitter can be named in the BlueTipz app, and the app lets you save a different tone for each one. The LED color can be changed in the app too, so each tip-up can be told apart before anyone looks at its flag.
