Reworked onboarding that ends on a "pick your start" launch pad — you're one tap from logging your first trip. • New location & conditions step lets you opt in to saved spots and auto-filled weather and water. Still off by default, always your call. • Practice mode for Fishing Now — take the live tally button for a spin without saving anything. • Coming back after a while? A quick "worth a look" screen highlights features you may have missed. • Pick which catch photo headlines a trip on its detail screen. • Send feedback straight from Settings.

Catch conditions and locations are here. • Log a catch on a map and let Fish Wizard auto-fill the conditions for that spot and time — air temperature, weather, water temperature when available, humidity, barometric pressure, and moon phase. • See the conditions for each trip at a glance. • Location is fully optional and off until you turn it on, with a single, clear opt-in. Your log stays private and on-device by default. Plus improvements throughout: • More accurate historical weather and water conditions for past catches. • Same-day readings are protected, so editing a catch later never overwrites the real conditions from the day you caught it. • Bigger, clearer catch and trip photo thumbnails in your lists.

Fish Wizard now has an Apple Watch app!

• Fishing Now timer — live sessions now show a running clock, and finishing a session automatically logs how long you were out. Forget to hit finish?

Your framing carries everywhere the photo shows up, including share images. • Better trip photos — trip rows now show a catch photo, and you can pick which catch represents the trip. • Upgraded trip sharing — new Light and Dark templates, toggles to choose what shows, and the option to include your catch photos in a clean gallery. • Smarter species stats — the catch breakdown now groups by species family (so Largemouth and Spotted count as Bass). Tap any family to see the exact species. • Easier start times — start date and time is now front-and-center when logging a trip. Plus assorted fixes and polish. Tight lines!
