About this app

CatchTrail is a fishing journal. Pick the fish and tap Save; the time, the spot and the weather are filled in for you. Add a photo, a video, the bait or a note when you want to.

LOGGING ON THE WATER
• Most-caught species first, or A–Z, or fish seen near you (iNaturalist)
• "1 h ago", "Yesterday" and the phone's own date and time pickers, or the time the photo was taken
• Repeat your last catch at your current spot
• Length and weight in inches, lb and oz, or metric; released or kept; depth, water temperature, clarity and current
• Unsaved catches are kept if you switch apps or the phone closes CatchTrail

MAPS AND PLACES
• Satellite map with place labels, plain satellite, or a street map
• Every catch on the map, with filters for species, place, technique, year and month
• Save your spots and lakes; catches inside a saved place get its name
• Adjust a spot by dragging the pin, or find a lake or town by name

YOUR JOURNAL
• Search species, places, techniques and notes
• Insights by year: top species, your biggest fish of each species, the months and times of day you catch fish, your best places and techniques
• Moon phase, sunrise and sunset for every catch
• Pictures of 87 North American species built in, with Wikipedia descriptions when online
• Share a catch with its photo; the photo is sent without its location data and the spot is included only if you choose
• Home-screen widgets for quick logging

BACKUPS AND MOVING FROM FISHNET
• Back up the whole journal, photos and videos included, to one file in any folder or cloud drive, and restore it on a new phone
• Android device backup keeps your journal with your Google account
• Export a spreadsheet (CSV) or your places (GPX)
• Import FishNet (My Fishing Journal): catches, saved places, your own species and techniques, and photos

PRIVACY
Your journal is stored on your phone. There is no account and nothing is uploaded unless you share it or back it up. Maps, weather, nearby fish and species descriptions need an internet connection. Details: https://mindware.mobi/catchtrail-privacy-policy/

FREE VERSION AND PLUS
The free version keeps 7 catches and shows a small banner ad. A short optional ad adds 3 more catches. CatchTrail Plus removes the limit and the ads; it is a yearly subscription billed through Google Play that renews until you cancel. Google Play shows your price before you buy. Restore or manage Plus in Settings.
Log each catch with its photo, spot, time and weather. Map it, search it.
