Our biggest fishing-rules update yet: clearer answers on what you can keep, in plain English. - A redesigned regulations panel: size, bag and season limits at a glance, with the full details a tap away. - Plain-English rules that name the waters and the authority in charge, with no jargon. - Smarter badges: "Keepable if legal size" when the rules set a size limit, and "Check before keeping" when they can't settle it. Badge text is easier to read, too. - Every result shows the date the rules were checked for, with a reminder to confirm your catch date before you keep a fish. - If a scan has no location, the result now explains why local rules weren't checked, with a shortcut to turn location on when it's off. - New suggested questions after each identification, including bait tips. - A refreshed welcome tour asks where you usually fish and fits every screen and text size, from iPhone SE to the largest accessibility sizes. - Accessibility: VoiceOver and Voice Control now label every control in the main screens, with improved Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast support. - Privacy: your photo's location now goes to NOAA's US boundary service only when it's in or near US waters.

FinScan is now CatchScan. Same app, clearer name. YOUR SPECIES COLLECTION Every confirmed catch now joins a lifetime field guide built only from fish you have landed, with a cover photo, scientific name and running catch count for each species. Milestones unlock at 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 species, and records survive even after you clear old chats. MORE HONEST IDENTIFICATION - Every result now carries a confidence rating, so a firm match no longer looks the same as a tentative one - A new "Don't confuse with" section names the species most often mistaken for yours, and the single visible feature that tells them apart - The species card has been redesigned around a cleaner field-guide layout, with a clearer catch-difficulty gauge REGULATIONS FROM WHERE YOU ACTUALLY FISHED CatchScan now reads the location saved inside your photo rather than wherever your phone is at the time, then matches it to the jurisdiction that governs that water, including state versus federal waters checked against NOAA boundary data. Identify a photo from last weekend's trip and you still get the right rules. POLISH - New motion design and haptic feedback throughout, with full Reduce Motion support - Redesigned share cards for showing off a catch - A clearer analyzing indicator while your fish is being identified Thanks for fishing with us.
