How does it connect to the ipad/iphone? Via Bluetooth? (which seldom works in my experience) Thanks

It works neither through Bluetooth nor wireless - the app apparently senses the movement of the magnets in the spinner. The plug is plastic and is merely used for mounting the sensor to your phone, not for ktransmitting a signal. It took me about 15 seconds to get it working on each of our phones. I have not tried to compare it next to another anemometer so I can't vouch for accuracy.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I can tell, the anemometer itself does not use power. When I first used the device, there was no prompt to connect anything using Bluetooth, and the app registered readings right away. The headphone jack piece (which, I believe, is made out of solid plastic) seems to be solely used to attach the device to the iphone/ipad, not to charge or sync the device in any way. Even if you hold the anemometer close to your iphone/ipad without plugging it in, the app will still register the readings. I read that the anemometer uses magnets, so my assumption is that the phone can sense the rotation of the magnets in close range (maybe in the same way it can sense compass readings?). This is all based on my observations, but the packaging lacked any in-depth information so I hope this helps. If you're mainly asking whether or not the app/anemometer has problems connecting, I had no connection issues.

It pretty ingenious, it uses a magnet in the pivot piece, the sensors in the IPAD or IPHONE pick it up.. The little plastic pin just sits in the earphone socket for stability. I highly recommend this product!

Plug the cups in the charging hole, and down loat the app. You will need to turn the phone up side down.

Although I have a Samsung Galaxy, not an Iphone, the Anemometer Accessory plugs directly into the speaker/headphone jack of the phone. I tried it out yesterday while sailing, and it seems to work very well. (Although I did not compare the wind speed reading on my phone with another device.

I am using it with an IPad, I don't know which other Bluetooth capable devices it will work with - many, I would imagine.

I don't have an ipad. I know I cant bluetooth texts from iphone to any other phone except another iphone.I'm assuming you can't bluetooth or pair any non apple gear??!! Sorry,best I can do is an educated guess.

Sorry, I'm not technical enough to understand all the vagaries of different Bluetooth devices, but I can attest it easily pairs with both the iPhone and iPad. I can't imagine a reason that it would not work as we'll with other Bluetooth enabled devices.

What bluetooth source are you using? I used mine with my iPhone 5 and it worked perfectly.

I don't think that you can. I looked at my manual and I didn't see anything about Bluetooth. It can do an Ipod or Ipad. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Try this:1. Power off the headphones2. On the iPad Mini, go to Settings, Bluetooth3. Power on the headphones, continue holding the button until the light blinks red and blue (pairing mode)4. The headphones will appear under Bluetooth as PLT_BBTGO2, tap it to pair5. Once the pairing is complete, the status will show as "Connected"I just tried this on my iPhone running IOS7 and it worked perfectly, should work the same for an iPad. Give it a try with these instructions.

You have to make sure your bluetooth is turned on on your Ipad. Make sure you scan and connect for device. If it does not connect right away, turn off speaker and then turn back on again. And make sure the speaker is charged. It's got about a 4-6 hr life if used constantly. It took me a couple tries to get it to connect but once it did it works great. Or as a previous person posted, you can also connect it like you would an earbud, but then you are limited to cord distance. I've had my speaker in the other room from where my pad was located. Works great. Hope you get it to work. :)

Make sure your keyboard is charged, you can still connect while the keyboard is charging. For mines i just hold the connect button for about 5-10 sec and it connects. While on your blutooth setting it should pick up the signal and then you just touch your ipad and it should connect. Hope this helped.

As far as I know it does not work with the iPad.It connects via USB to your PC or Mac.Ipad does not have a USB connection.

We use it quite easily with an iPad over bluetooth. Haven't tried with anything else.

Through Bluetooth just as u would with pairing any other Bluetooth device on an Ipad!

There should be a button on the side to turn bluetooth on or off and then sync it with your iPad (go to settings - bluetooth)

I had the same problem, it worked once then stopped. Paired great with both my husband's iPhone and mine but not the iPad. After many frustrating tries my husband turned off Bluetooth on all of our devices, even removing a few from the list, turned the speakers and Bluetooth off and on (many times) and finally he was successful. Such a frustrating experience. I would love to know what causes this.

Ours says waiting for connection and then we turn the Bluetooth on the iPod and it connects. If Bluetooth was already on then it disconnects after a few seconds. We didn't have to do anything special. I hope this helps :)

I use it with both an iPhone and iPad and am very happy with it. I would imagine it should work with any Bluetooth device with similar results.

I use it with Ipad 2 (iOS 7.02) and iPhone 5 (iOS 7.02) and it works perfectly. I guess it works with every bluetooth 2.0 and above
