About Simply Fishing
Free to download. Try every feature free for 14 days, then unlock everything once for $5.99. No subscription, ever. The solunar calendar and weather stay free forever. Log every catch in seconds. Plan around peak fish activity. Fishing data from federal and state agencies — built right in. Simply Fishing turns a couple of taps into a permanent fishing log, and pairs it with the kind of data anglers used to need a half-dozen apps and browser tabs to assemble. Built by one angler for everyone who'd rather be on the water than hunting for boat ramps and stream gauges. KNOW WHEN TO FISH • Solunar peak periods (major + minor) computed for your location • Moon phase with rise + set times • Sunrise, sunset, twilight, day length • Hour-by-hour weather: temp, wind, pressure, precipitation • 24-hour rain-chance graph so you can plan around showers • Calendar view rates every day at a glance — tap the rating to see how it was calculated LOG EVERY CATCH • Fish photo + bait/lure photo per catch • GPS auto-pin or long-press to drop one manually • Notes for species, size, conditions, what worked • 1-5 rating with fish pips • Weather snapshot + water body captured automatically on every save • Edit, delete, or move pins after the fact BROWSE THE WHOLE SEASON • Photo-grid catch log filterable by water, location, and date • Stats page — top species, most-fished waters, current streaks • Full-screen photo viewer with pinch to zoom FISHING DATA, BUILT IN Roughly 90 map layers across 44 state agencies and 5 federal sources, all toggleable from the map filter panel: National coverage (works in every state) • USFWS — public-recreation access easements • National Park Service — POIs and trails • Bureau of Land Management — boating sites and trailheads • U.S. Forest Service — recreation sites, NFS trails, Wild & Scenic Rivers, fish-passage surveys, forest boundaries • USGS — National Hydrography Dataset (lakes, rivers, stream gauges) and Watershed Boundary Dataset State coverage spans 44 states Highlights include Arkansas fishing waters and boat ramps, Oregon species-specific habitat, Wisconsin trout streams, California fish planting sites, Texas WMAs, Michigan DNR, plus dozens more state fish, wildlife, and conservation agencies. All data comes from official government ArcGIS REST services. TAP THE RULEBOOK One-tap access to your state's official fishing regulations page. Simply Fishing detects where you are and links to the right agency — Arkansas Game & Fish, California Fish & Wildlife, Alaska Fish & Game, all 50. Star your states to pin them to a Favorites section that syncs via your iCloud. ON EVERY DEVICE YOU OWN One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Catches, favourites, and now your °F/°C preference all sync automatically through iCloud. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE No account to create. No tracking. No ads. No social feed. Catches sync between your devices through your iCloud, never through our servers. Built for the angler who wants to fish, log it, and look back at the season — not curate a profile.
