WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2.1?
RECREATIONAL/AVID ANGLER MODES:
If you don't care about logging environmental conditions, but want to store your catches in a single app, we've created a simple workflow for Recreational Anglers. For data-driven Avid Anglers, we've created the ability to tag photos with real-time water gauge, marine buoy and weather information to help you find patterns and trends in your data. Simply select which type of angler you are, directly from the home page.
PUBLIC POSTING:
Discontinued, users can no longer post/view fishing spots publicly, except via private groups. This still gives users the flexibility to share fishing spots with fishing buddies, family and friends, without having to burn fishing spots.
EDIT LOGS POST TRIP
Sometimes, during the hectic time of catching a fish and taking a photo, data entry mistakes can occur. In these cases, we provided the ability for users to edit their catch details post-trip. Meaning, when at home, you can edit the following items: Fish species, fish size (weight, length, girth), Bait, Bait color, water level, water discharge, water temperature, water turbidity (clarity), wave heights, surface temps, etc.
REQUIRED FIELDS MORE OPEN
When fishing is hot, you might not want to take the time to enter fish catch logs. Historically, all fish catch fields were mandatory. Now, the only required field during logging is the species field. All other fields are left open for users to populate later, if needed. It will not stop you from saving the fish photo.
