About Uplander
Uplander is a hunting journal for upland bird hunters. Log every hunt, build a spot book you actually trust, and keep the notes that decide where you go next season. Free, private, and built to work with no signal. LOG A HUNT IN SECONDS Bird, spot, birds down, shots fired, weather, gear, who was with you, and your dogs. TWO SCOREBOARDS This season and your lifetime, side by side, with an accuracy rating from Warming Up to Eagle Eye. Hide either one if you would rather not see it. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Already keep your seasons in a spreadsheet? Import it. Uplander reads CSV, JSON, and the GPX or KML files your mapping app exports, so years of hunts come across in one go. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Export every hunt to a spreadsheet any time. Uplander keeps your records on your iPhone, so the export is your backup and your way out. No lock-in, no account to lose. A SPOT BOOK THAT TRACKS ITSELF Mark a spot Candidate, Scouted, Proven or Ruled out, and note its condition this season. Notes from a past season flag themselves, because a field that was cut clean last year tells you nothing about this one. GET BACK THERE Drop a pin, import one from a photo you took in the field, or share one from Apple Maps. Then show it on the map, or start directions. FIELD NOTES WORTH KEEPING Tie a note to a spot, to a particular hunt, or to the birds it applies to. Search everything by place, bird, or tag. PACK LISTS Build one once, check it off before every trip, reset it for the next. SEASON COUNTDOWNS Track your openers and closing days, with an optional nudge about your license before the season starts. WILD-GAME RECIPES Six of them, for dove, pheasant and quail. All included. BADGES First Shot, Limit Out, Dead Eye, Mixed Bag, and more to find. TRIP IDEAS Ten hand-picked destinations, from a weekend away to the trip of a lifetime. PRIVATE, AND FREE Uplander is free. There are no in-app purchases, no subscription, and no ads. There is no account to make and no server: everything you log stays on your iPhone, so we never see your hunts, your spots, or your photos. Logging works fully offline, which matters where you hunt. Bag limits and season dates are your own entries plus generic defaults, not official regulations. Always confirm with your state wildlife agency before you hunt. Built by an upland hunter, for upland hunters. See you in the field.
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated October 26, 2026
SHOOTING LIGHT WITHOUT A SIGNAL Sunrise and sunset for a spot are now worked out on your phone instead of fetched. They were coming from the weather service, so out of coverage the times simply were not there — which is exactly where you are standing when you need them. Now they show wherever you are, signal or no signal. EXPORT YOUR HUNTS Every hunt you have logged, out to a spreadsheet whenever you want one. Uplander keeps your records on your iPhone and nowhere else, so this is your backup and your way out. It used to be locked behind a subscription that does not exist, which meant there was no way to get your own records out at all. That was wrong, so it is free. FIXES Renaming someone in your group, or a dog, now updates every hunt they are on instead of leaving the old name behind. Renaming onto a name you already use offers to merge the two rather than quietly making a duplicate. Deleting one tells you how many hunts it affects first. Season reminders now follow the birds you track. Adding a bird in My Birds schedules its opener, and removing one stops the reminder, which previously kept firing for a season you had dropped. The forecast now says when it cannot reach the network instead of quietly showing nothing, and asking for your location explains itself when location is switched off. Uplander also reads properly now at the largest text sizes and on the smallest iPhones, and tells VoiceOver what it is showing.
