## What is Adrift Cast?

Adrift Cast is a historical weather tool designed for fly fishers. Instead of forecasts, it shows you actual conditions from the past 7 days for any river, lake, or water stretch you’re interested in.

HISTORICAL WEATHER FOR ANGLERS
View the last 7 days of temperature, rainfall, wind, and barometric pressure for any location worldwide. Every data point is real, not forecasted.

FISHING CONDITIONS AT A GLANCE
Each day is rated as Prime, Fair, or Tough based on rain, wind, temperature, and pressure trends—so you can quickly see if a spot was worth visiting.

PRESSURE TRENDS THAT MATTER
A rising pressure trend often indicates better conditions, while a falling trend can cause fish to stop feeding. Adrift Cast displays exactly which way pressure has been moving with a full chart.

SAVE YOUR SPOTS
Save as many locations as you like. Cards display the latest conditions, pressure trend, and weather details at a glance. It works fully offline — your saved spots are always accessible without a signal.

FISHING DIARY
Log every trip with a headline, notes, mood, catch count, species, and water level. Entries are linked to saved spots, sorted by date, and searchable. A calendar view shows your fishing days, making it easy to find past trips.

OFFLINE FIRST
All weather data is cached automatically. Head out to the river without worry about signal — your spots load instantly from the last update.

A quiet, field-journal style aesthetic. No ads, no account needed.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-15

Turn your phone sideways on a spot to see the whole picture: past, today and forecast in one big chart.

• Landscape view: rotate on any location for a full-width chart spanning the last week through the days ahead.
• Tap any day: drag across the chart to read that day's exact wind, rain, pressure and temperature.
• Moon phase: a new view tracking the lunar cycle across your timeline, with new and full moons flagged.
• Bigger, clearer labels throughout.

Tight lines!

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-14

Landscape overview: open a spot and rotate to landscape for a full-width chart of the whole timeline — past, today, and forecast (solid = history, dashed = forecast). Switch between Wind, Rain, Pressure and Temp with the buttons on the right.

Low temperature: the temperature now shows the average low next to the high, both on the card and as a second line on the chart.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-10

Fixes diary photos showing as a blank thumbnail after updating the app.
Your existing photos are restored automatically; just open a diary
entry to see them again. No other changes from 1.2.0.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-08

Moon phase, everywhere
See the moon phase on every day — in the weather views and on your diary
entries — with the new and full moons clearly marked. Many anglers swear the
moon shapes the bite, and now you can log it and spot your own patterns over
time. It's calculated on your device, so it works even with no signal.

A clearer look at the forecast
The forecast now has proper graphs, and you can break any upcoming day into
Night, Morning, Afternoon and Evening — with temperature, rain and wind
(including gusts) — so you can pick the right window to be on the water.

A richer trip diary
Add photos to your sessions and view them full-screen, edit past entries
whenever you like, and let the app fill in the weather automatically for
notes you jotted down offline.

Polished throughout
Bigger, easier-to-read day cards, a fresh launch screen, and a cleaner,
tidier layout across the app.

Tight lines!

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-28

Map picker now shows your current location as a blue dot, plus a “locate me” button (bottom-right) that re-centres the map on you.

• Dropped pins are draggable — tap to drop a pin, then long-press it and drag to fine-tune the exact fishing spot before confirming.

• Clearer error messages when a weather load fails — you’ll now see whether it was a timeout, a temporary server outage, or a connection issue, instead of a generic “couldn’t load”.

• Graceful handling when Open-Meteo’s historical archive is temporarily unavailable — yesterday + today’s data are shown with a small explanation banner, instead of an error screen.
