A simple way to make it more useful

It’s a useful app but would be even better if it had a field where we could store ourfishing licence number so we can find it easily when fisheries officers come calling. It would be especially useful for fishing on Sydney Harbour where they are very... diligent.And it would be extra awesome if you could scan the fish with your camera and have the app tell you what species it is and any limits that apply.

The app is designed for outdoor but with the super low contrast font it is useless in outdoor. When first installed the pop up dialog for each feature is annoying enough for user to stop using this app after a few clicks. The features are already self explanatory, the is no need to pop up another meaningless one liner dialog to tell what the features are for. Example, Toilet, pop up dialog, the toilet is for you to......The fish limit feature is really handy and useful but low contrast font makes this unusable outdoor. Map is good, will be better to add exclusion zones too especially for Sydney Harbour.

Information is there, but you want to check it and is hard to read ( grey writing instead of deep black) you also can’t enlarge the writing. The app developers need to hop in an open tinny in bright daylight with a lot of rocking.Fish identifier won’t rotate pictures so even on large iPhone max harder to identify (once again hop in tinny)Map handy idea but once again information is small and can’t be enlarged .Thanks

The app is good but they need to add new fish or photos to that certain fish. They need to add where a certain fish can be caught for example: Kingfish at Botany Bay. Even better if you can get recommendations for good lures or bait
