Sign in without a password
• Set up a passkey and sign in with Face ID — nothing to remember, nothing to type
• Saved passwords now fill automatically in the app
Scan Sonar
• Take a picture of your fish-finder screen and we'll pull out the numbers that
matter — bottom depth, the thermocline, bait depth and fish marks — and pin
them to where you are
• Your scans build a private map of the bottom, and now link up with the catches
you log in the same spot
On-water navigation
• Live GPS position, heading and speed right on the zone map
• Navigate to any spot — routes around land and shallow water, not straight through it
• NOAA chart depth, contours and aids to navigation: buoys, channel markers, beacons and lights
• Drop and save your own Pinned Locations, and leave a breadcrumb trail behind you
Sharper daily reports
• Upgraded to our most capable AI model for the 5 AM zone reports
• Tap any score factor to see exactly what moved it and why
• Major accuracy work on wind, wave period, ocean currents, thermocline depth
and seasonal species timing
