Simply Fishing
Solunar Calendar and Catch Log
$4.99
New in 2.2: browse every catch in a photo grid, see when rain will hit hour-by-hour, and set stats & streaks in one place. °F/°C syncs via iCloud.
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.
BROWSE EVERY CATCH
The new Catch Log opens from the header — a full photo grid of every catch, filterable by body of water, location, and date. Tap any tile for the same detail view you get from the map, with edit and delete.
STATS AT A GLANCE
A Stats page (chart-bar icon in the log toolbar) surfaces your top species, most-fished waters, best days, and current fishing streak.
RAIN THROUGH THE DAY
The weather panel now shows a 24-hour rain-chance graph — one bar per hour, colored from muted to deep blue as rain gets more likely. Works for future days too, out to about two weeks ahead. "Peak 68% around 3 PM" tells you when to fish the morning instead.
WEATHER SNAPSHOTS ON EVERY CATCH
When you save a catch, Simply Fishing quietly captures the day's temperature range, wind, rain chance, and pressure trend at that spot, plus the name of the body of water. Snapshots stick with the record forever — no re-fetch needed to look back.
°F / °C SYNCS VIA iCLOUD
Set your temperature unit once and it follows through iCloud. Flip it on your Mac and your iPhone updates within seconds.
TAP THE RATING FOR THE MATH
Curious why today rates 78? Tap the rating on the day panel for a breakdown — solunar base score plus a pressure-trend adjustment (fish sense falling pressure ahead of a front and feed).
MAC REGS BUTTON
On Mac, a "Regs" button now sits with the map's My Location / Last Pin controls, giving Mac users the same one-tap regulations picker iOS has.
SAVE ERRORS SURFACE
When iCloud has trouble saving, a toast at the bottom of the screen tells you instead of silently swallowing the write.
SETTINGS PAGE
Unit preference, default map style, and app info now live in one place, opened from the header.
