Please watch this video before configuring the app for the first time. This is an app that requires good data to run right, and the set up is crucial. https://youtu.be/FdqKxvbzmXw
iGoTrapping! is an app designed to support the recording and analysis of trapping data. The app allows the trapper to record set type and location and catches made at those sets. Set types, traps, lures, and baits can be added or deleted as needed. Targeted species can also be added and deleted. The app provides the ability to analyze set performance in a variety of ways so that the user can determine the best sets to make for targeted species as well as have a record of catches and sets.
The app is intended to be used in the field so that location can be automatically captured through the devices GPS. When a catch is made, if the app is opened at the catch site, it will also automatically identify the set using the GPS so that data can be recorded quickly and accurately.
The trapper can use the app to assist with inventory of traps by type and size.
The app is able to customized in regards to trap set names, trap type names, lures and baits. We have entered some very common traps and sizes, as well as some baits and lures, but you can add and delete so you can use your favorite names or brands.
You can set the trap information from the comfort of your living room, by using the map page. Simply zoom in on the map until you see the location for the trap, tap the screen, and then enter the information for your trap. This way you don't have to worry about losing your phone in the swamp!
I bought this app for both my iPad and my android phone. My phone for the field and my iPad when back at the house. I was hoping that I could that I could transfer the information from my phone to the iPad. The iPad has a bigger screen and is easier to look at at home and to plan my next sets, look at catches and rate my lures. I contacted the developer and he said yes it was possible and told me to email the stuff on my phone to my ipad then down load it to the app it didn’t work so I emailed him again and we made an appointment to talk on the phone. We tried different things and I sent him some of the set’s info for him to try still couldn’t do it. Then I went to my son’s house who is an apple geek to try, we tried and got nowhere my son said that the android and Apple operating systems are different and don’t work together. Then I went to my son-in-law who is a pc Microsoft type geek and he tried and got nowhere also the told me the same thing about the 2 systems not being compatible with each other. I then email he developer and relaid that the boys had said. He apologized and asked how he could make it right, I told him that I was happy with the app and would keep it on both phone and iPad but I hopped some day they could update the app. It does take a little time to get the hang of using the app but once you get used to it it works good, I just come home and load the info manually on the iPad
